That article is the biggest load of tory spin I have ever had the misfortune to read.
How unfair is parliamentary privilege?... the abuse, corruption, fraud and lies perpetuated against the police over the years?
The 30yr rule proved it wasn't the police that were responsible for failings in many high profile cases but senior politicians.
The suffering of sexual abuse victims associated with past government officials, Cyril Smith and maggies mate Savile?
Were the police at fault in their investigations?... No because there were no investigations.
Plebgate has done just what was expected and shook the confidence that middle england had in the police, they can lie but only when they are ordered to....
'Know your place!'
Those words will be ringing in everyones ears for generations.
