Following the shock news that Conservative MP and muckraker Damien Green had been arrested under anti terrorism provisions in the New Labours WICAWDWTFWL (Were in charge and well do what the fuck we like) law Boggart Blog put a crack team of investigative reporters on the case.
It seems Mr. Green was arrested for leaking non classified documents with no content relating to national security to the press. What the documents, mostly memos from Government ministers to senior civil servants do show is that what those ministers tell Parliament and the public they are doing is the very opposite of what they always intended to do.
Fearless as ever, Boggart Blog, acting on information passed to us by Mr Green, will now reveal our reporters discovery that Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and Peter Mandelson have recently placed substantial orders for specialised footwear with internet retailer jackboots4u.com.
We understand the ministers acted on a recommendation from an executive of the company that control F1 motor racing.
Both Downing Street and the F1 Public Relations office have declined to give us a statement.

Politicians are always leaking, perhapd that's why they are pro Europe - they want us to be "in continent"
Benedict Brogan blogs of rubber gloves, love letters and judgement in the Mail as the whole Green / Brown entanglement gets murkier by the minute. Some very sharp questions posed here.

I have a brown envelop telling me they'd planned to buy the jackboots earlier last week, but made the order effective as of tomorrow to take advantage of the reduction in VAT someone tipped them off to.
