Let's not piss about

The arrest of Damian Green is outrageous. I never advocate the reining in of policemen by elected officals, but it might be time for some guidelines. This just should not happen. The government is either lying or had buggered up its chain of communication (I suspect the latter) and needs to fix it. At least there has been outrage across the spectrum.

However, can we get some proportion. It's important not to start banging on about Zimbabwe at this time, as it makes you look silly.

Doesn't make it OK though - 'not as bad a Mugabe' isn't a defence.
