#2 - interesting that you think that Campbell hasn't leaked anything, because by definition he's a politician and so it's all fair game. On the politician point, Campbell was of course (and still is) a partisan special adviser, so of course he has a political role. Even with that murkiness, I think that Politicians could leak (a dramatic , notional, example being the passing of information to a foreign power), and so should not be given the all clear just beacuse of their title.In Campbell's case he appears to have acted against the rules, and has published material against the wishes of his Civil Service boss. Given the nature of the material in question - all at the highest level of sofa-cahet available in the Government - I would have thought a quiet word to the Met for an opinion would be the least we would expect given their reaction to Mr Green's illegal immigration stats ...........
