Home Secretary Sort Of Denies Knowledge Of MP's Arrest

I was amused to hear Jacqui Smith's weasel words to the press concerning the arrest of Tory MP Damian Green: she said that the 'police have been clear on the level of ministerial involvement - that is, none'.

We can all play semantics: knowledge does not necessarily mean involvement. You can be fully complicit in something without playing an active part. Wouldn't it have been just a bit more honest to have said 'I had no part in it and I didn't know it was going to happen?' Is that too difficult to say? Or would it have been too far from the truth?

As for the Spawn of the Manse himself, he'll probably say Green was abducted by aliens then sit there giggling to himself.

It comes to something when I end up agreeing with the Daily Mail (again).

About time we started organising, citizens.
