   It's very rare for such senior cops to have their offices burgled, or at   
   least for it to be reported that such a burglary has happened, and   
   reminiscent of course of a certain fire in Northern Ireland that an army   
   death squad started in the office of a police investigator.   
      
   There could be a view that the division between powerful interests   
   evidenced by the burglary is in fact fake. But I don't share that view.   
   (Nor of course do I share the ludicrous view that 'Lord' Stevens is a   
   'neutral' and 'objective' investigator, but that's not what I'm saying).   
      
   In short - remember these burglaries, they're important.

   MAF obviously has better relations with Richard Desmond than he did with   
   Conrad Black, or does with Rupert Murdoch. Desmond incidentally was once   
   chummy with the 'royal' family, but then of course so was MAF.   
      
   Desmond currently has problems to do with a disagreement over monies   
   due, in connection with Italian-based business interests. Hmmmmmmm.
