Please Stop Mr Policeman

According to Hazel Blears, Nu Labour's cross between a chipmunk and a shrill harpy, the cash-for-peerages saga is having a "corrosive effect" by "going on for months and months" (link). At first it might look like Blears has realised that her boss clinging to power in the face of a criminal investigation is bad for the country. But no - if you study her comments a bit more you get to the crucial phrase:

"I want the investigation to be brought to a conclusion as quickly as possible."

In other words, please stop investigating us you nasty policemen. My Tony has done nothing wrong, I know because he said so and he would never ever lie.

Of course the investigation could end very soon. Although perhaps not in the way Nu Labour would like...
