You omitted to mention that the (ahem)[1] Hon Minister is described in
the article as "[a] Hero minister"(!!!)


[1]  Anyone who watched Mark Thomas a couple of seasons ago may
remember him, he was the HO Minister responsible for Immigration and
Asylum policy at the time[2].
[2]  He's now responsible for Human Rights -- does this put him on
topic for us, given the potential ECHR/HRA contraventions in RIP?  
:o)

"A Home Office minister has broken his leg while confronting an
alleged
"shop lifter. 
"
"Michael O'Brien, 46, decided to confront the thief outside a shop in
"south London when a security guard raised the alarm. 
"
"Mr O'Brien managed to trip up the alleged shoplifter, but broke a
bone
"in his right leg during the scuffle on 31 June.

well there was an extra day in February this year :(
