She Looks Harmless Enough

From the BBC: Honours police arrest Blair aide

Downing Street political adviser Ruth Turner has become the fourth person to be arrested by police investigating the cash-for-honours allegations.

Ms Turner, a senior aide to Tony Blair, was arrested at 0630 GMT at her home but was later released on police bail.

She was quizzed for several hours over alleged honours offences and suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

The police inquiry team has spoken to about 90 people so far including Mr Blair. All deny wrongdoing.

Ms Turner, the director of government relations was arrested in September and questioned about alleged honours before being released without charge.

A Downing Street source told the BBC officials had been "taken aback" by Miss Turner's latest arrest but Mr Blair was giving her his full support.


What do you suppose they meant by saying this was "Miss Tuner's latest arrest"? Is she also a part-time soccer hooligan or something?
