Marcel Berlins on the Damian Green Overreaction (yet another manufactured band, made up of dead-eyed chancers, and who seem to be everywhere at the moment):

What I fear, though, is that this relatively unserious incident will be used to rearrange the relationship between police, politicians and government. This would be damaging. It is at times like this that I wish I was less cynical. I have a simple explanation for the avalanche of excess that has descended on us in the past week. It is so easy to write and comment incessantly on something happening in parliament and in London. It is difficult to seek out far worse injustices that are occurring every day, all over the country, to unknown people.

Indeed. Quite. Yes.
