He's managed to get a huge amount of publicity out of it and highlighted the Labour government's hypocrisy etc. Without the arrest he would merely have been bleating on about the government, now he's the hero of the hour having been wrongly arrested and people are prepared to listen to him bleating on about the government.
I don't think your playing devils advocate at all Gayle, I think your spot on actually, but that's not the way it started out. I actually think there will be one or two red faces at Labour H. Q. Its alright Jackboots Jacqui going on about a police investigation, but into what, showing this government up for lying on their immigration policies, and highlighting what a mitigated disaster it has been over the last few years, we're the only country with an open door policy and it stinks
