£60,000 AND RISING


Green bail extended by two months Damian green the Tory MP has had his bail extended by police so that they can “consider the impact of Parliamentary privilege on the evidence.”

Mr Green you may remember is the MP whose office was raided in the “Home Office leaks inquiry.”

He was arrested for doing something that has been the “norm” in Parliament-leaking information by people who think that the information should be “exposed” to the public.

Even our great leader, the saviour of the world has done it Gordon Brown gave me leaked Whitehall secrets

The cost to the taxpayer stands at £60,000, a pointless waste of money and the time of the police.

Leaking documents is an established way of “taking a pop” at the government in power, it is the opposition’s way of exposing “bad” decisions that are kept from us.

It is not a crime; it is our right to know what the Gov is up to behind our backs.

So come on Gord, you have done it many others have done it, squash this expensive drain on resources and let the police get back to their proper work and let Parliament get back to what they call “normality”.
