Just when you thought London's police chief couldnt get any wierder and more unpleasant he turns Nixon and has been taping conversations with people without their knowledge.

Is this saying that britains top policeman doesn't trust britain's top lawyer?
I wonder why not? :rolleyes:
I've no problem with important phone-calls being recorded - I've done it myself. But its common courtesy to let the person at the other end know that you're recording.
Asserting copyright is always a fun thing to do when they say that.
That's because they are going to play the tapes to a third party, if Blair was keeping the tapes for his and only his use then he didnt legally have to warn them.
i tink its perfectly reasonable to record phone conversations for his own private use, so he can watch his back
Would you trust a New Labour politician (or indeed any politician) to keep their word?
I know I wouldn't.
The saddest thing is that Britain's top copper doesn't trust anyone. Understandable given the current climate.
Thats an admirable trait in a copper. If he also thinks no-one is truly above the law too, then we might actually have the first decent commander for ages.
