ANDREW Rawnsley in The Observer on Damian Green:
I am sure it has not been a happy experience for the MP for Ashford and his family, but he has not been carted off to a gulag. He has been presented with a gift-wrapped opportunity to cast himself as a victim of state bullying and a hero of liberty. I bet David Davis is inflamed with jealousy that he wasn’t arrested as well. He would have insisted on the police leading him away in irons… Britain is not a police state, but some people, notably in the Met and Whitehall, are beginning to behave as if it were.

Poor Damian, it looks as if Christopher Galley may not know his lines too well, and may even be suggesting that Damian might have appeared to be offering him inducements to supply him with confidential information.
Impossible, of course, but a record of all those conversations would be useful; where are bugs when you need them?.
Meanwhile millions of people in Zimbabwe face famine and cholera whilst Mugabe’s band plays on; it seems certain that he will ignore the ruling by the Southern African Development Community tribunal (SADC) in Windhoek, Namibia, ordering the return of land seized illegally from white farmers, and refugees continue to flood over the borders with South Africa in seach of food to eat and water to drink…
