Notice how the debate on immigration in the UK and elsewhere reaches hysterical levels when the UK Labour government has arrested the shadow immigration minister.
The police used a Whitehall whistleblower to try to lure Conservative frontbencher Damian Green into incriminating himself, it was claimed last night.
The Mail on Sunday understands that the Shadow Immigration Minister, who was controversially arrested for allegedly leaking information embarrassing to the Government, may have been the victim of an entrapment plot.
However, the allegations were firmly denied by Scotland Yard last night.
Senior Westminster sources believe that police tried to persuade the alleged whistleblower, Home Office aide Christopher Galley, to call Mr Green.
The civil servant made contact with the MP on more than one occasion, but Mr Green declined to be drawn into conversation.
The sources say they suspect Mr Galley's calls - made soon after his own arrest 11 days ago - were being secretly monitored by the police in an attempt to gather evidence against Mr Green.
The claims come as The Mail on Sunday reveals shocking details about the affair, including:
• Mr Green was arrested in a car park - in full view of the public - near to his home in Kent.
• Mr Galley was arrested in a 5.50am dawn raid and is now being accommodated in a Home Office 'safe house' to prevent him talking to the media.
• It was alleged that police intercepted Mr Green's mobile phone messages after Mr Galley's arrest.
We're probably not far from that here. We have already seen how a McCain supporter in Philadelphia was arrested just for wearing a McCain/Palin shirt on election night. I'm sure his Highness 0bama will want to silence His critics.
