UK MP arrested for doing his job

Damian Green MP, Conservative immigration spokesman, has been arrested in a dawn raid at his home in Kent in connection with embarrassing Home Office documents leaked to the press. He was released on bail pending a hearing. Special Branch stormed the MP's residence and searched it, the charge being an obscure and never used provision of British common law. The Speaker of the House of Commons is rumored to have sanctioned the raid.

It is essential that this story receives the worldwide attention it deserves. Guido Fawkes has a worrying comparison to Robert Mugabe which stands fairly true.

This is beyond contemptible.
