Arrest over telling truth is beyond belief

The arrest of Damien Green, shadow ministers on immigration, beggars belief.
If telling the truth on Home Secretary Jacquie Smith's Labour cover-up on the number of illegal immigrants entering this land of milk and honey leads to arrest then this country is becoming no better than Zimbabwe and its tyrant leader Robert Mugabe.
When such Labour stalwarts as Tony Benn condemn this latest episode as abusing the power of Parliament then we are becoming a police state. Michael Martin the commons speaker should never have approved this raid on an MPs office. This smells of a tit for tat job.
A squad of counter-terrorist officers send to arrest Damien Greene shows at the very least contempt for Parliament and its democratic policies. This Labour government and its Prime Minister can showboat all they like, but if this is what they do when a shadow minister tells the truth about Home Office cover-ups then God help us all when the next Minister speaks about Labour and their dishonest bullying tactics.
