'theatrical', well at least no one shot you!
The line is the police are being 'theatrical '.
First Blunkett and now Levy are coming out with this. Expect the clones to follow suit .
Of course this is the same labour leadership and cronies who supported the police when they shot an innocent man in Stockwell and dragged people from their beds in Forest Gate .
Funny how they now seem to have developed some sort of critical viewpoint on the police .
Wasn't there before, was it .
The BBC reports :
"Lord Levy has said he was "deeply disappointed" by the decision to arrest him as part of an investigation into allegations of "cash for peerages".
In a statement, Tony Blair's fundraiser said the arrest was unnecessary and "entirely theatrical", as he had been willing to co-operate with police. "
I bet he was disappointed. After all he is pals with Tony and can afford the best lawyers.
Tough.
At least he was not shot dead mistakenly or had 250 armed police raid his home, and shoot him, in the early hours of the morning.
Funny how the Labour Party defends the powerful against the police but backs them to the hilt at other times.
