I am not normally given to commenting on national issues here but the furore surrounding Damien Green MP, or Adrian Green if you read the local rag is getting very confusing.
Plod invaded his offices and home allegedly because of a 'leak' and it seems that they didnt have a warrant to enter his Westminster office although they did have for his Constituency office and house. It also seems that no-one knew the procedure for entering and searching Palace of Westminster premises or if they did they chose to ignore it. It also appears that no-one had any advance knowledge of this apart from some Tory wallah who just happened to have his video camera with him !
So there are several issues here that need looking at, firstly should the Police inform senior politicians when a high profile arrest is about to take place. Is it right that the Press should also be informed in advance as has happened on several ocassions and appears to be a deliberate attempt to cause maximum emabarrasment to the Government of the day. Should the Police have been involved at all as the information leaked is not about National Security or confidential in any way.
Was the Civil Servant merely providing information in response to a question or was there another motivation.
The Police will have access to a lot of confidential personal information about constituents on the MP's computer, what gaurantee is there that this wont be used in connection with any other investigations they may be carrying out?
These are just a few of the questions that arise and the media in their semi sexual frenzy of trying to discredit Ministers are as usual overlooking the facts.
Speaker Martin is going to set up a Committee of senior MP's to look at the whole debacle and lessons that can be learned from it, one of the things they should seriously look at is the question of the impartiality of the Civil Service, we in the Labour Party have long known that the system is loaded against us and the people we seek to represent being loaded as is it is with the old school tie brigade so representative of the Tory party, the Civil Servant who leaked this information is a Conservative Party activist having tried several times, unsuccessfully, to gain employment in some form with the Tories.
Perhaps he thrashed the wrong bottoms at school !!
Of course the usual excuse for leaking information is that 'it is in the public interest' that is the same lame excuse used by newspapers to hound politicians and other public figures, the only interest it serves is the one of self publicity in the case of low ranking politicians or the sale of newspapers.

I have never considered the issues raised by this incident before.
I have long since pursued the matter of the principle "Be you ever so high the Law is above you".
Specifically that an alleged unlawful secret reporting exercise run through Special Branch liaison from Home Office (IE undermining the Crown as sole source of authjority in the admin of justice) was allegedly creating an unlawful police no go area. Hence allegedly placing some of the activity of Airey Neave and Harry Sporborg above the law where no man should be.
In the Damian Green case I am beginning to think that Police needed to source warrants from Judiciary (Crown authority) for raids outside of the Commons and from the Bar of the House for a raid on a members office. (Parliamentary authority)
I wait to see
