The British government is corrupted beyond beliefs as Jacqui Smith is back in the public eyes again

The British government is corrupted beyond beliefs as Jacqui Smith is back in the public eyes again, as it's announced a top Tory will now not be charged over Home Office leaks (The old boy net work at its best, one rule for Jo public? and another rule for them?)

Jacqui Smith came under fresh pressure today after Crown prosecutors announced a senior Tory MP who was arrested as part of the controversial Home Office leaks inquiry will not face charges, under the official secrets act by rights he should have been?.

Following an investigation within the MI’s costing English taxpayer £5million, the Crown Prosecution Service ruled the case against shadow immigration minister Damian Green and Christopher Galley, the civil servant who passed on the information, was being dropped.

The decision is a major embarrassment to Jacqui Smith, who defended the criminal probe which sparked a major political row and concerns of heavy-handed policing and is already fighting to keep her job after a string of expense scandals which she has been involved in, maybe? Someone has something more on Jacqui with regards to her fiddles?

Police raided Green's parliamentary office without a warrant to the horror of MPs on all sides and arrested the two men after they were told by the Cabinet Office that the leaks threatened national security.

Green was quizzed for nine-hours about the confidential papers which highlighted a string of humiliating failings in the Home Office.

But today Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer denied the revelations had posed any real threat and ruled there was 'insufficient evidence' to bring any charges.

The information about illegal immigrants, rebel MPs and the risk of rising violence during the recession touched on 'matters of legitimate public interest' and was not even a secret, the QC said its funny how playing with words makes all things right?

'It did not relate to military, policing or intelligence matters. It did not expose anyone to a risk of injury or death. Nor, in many respects, was it highly confidential,' he said.

'Much of it was known to others outside the civil service, for example, in the security industry or the Labour Party or Parliament.'

The announcement came hours after a damning report by influential MPs accused officials of goading police into an inquiry by exaggerating the seriousness of the case.

Cabinet Office security director Chris Wright has effectively been accused of lying after telling officers the leaks caused 'considerable damage to national security'.

Professional corruption at its best, being British politician
