Listening to Michael Martin's statement on the Damian Green arrest was enough to make the middle of my body sink into itself, like a particularly unsuccessful cheese souffle.
Speaker Martin is either an utterly pathetic excuse for a man or the police have got one hell of a case against the Home office mole.
No "Have you got a warrant?" No "Have we got a choice?". Just utterly, utterly pathetic supine patheticness, allowing him and his staff to be steamrollered by some jumped up detectives.
Even Martin's weedy voice, as he read his statement, made me think "Pathetic, pathetic pathetic".
What helps me towards my conclusion is the statement of the former Director of Public Prosecutions last night on Newsnight. It was clear that the current DPP was not consulted, only informed, about this crazy action.
Wouldn't it be sensible, before Inspector Knacker embarks on this sort of enterprise, to check with someone who knows as to whether the case has a cat in hells' chance of succeeding in a court of law?
They do it on the telly all the time.
