Was there a home or a hostelry in the land where a cheer didn't go up when the news broke?
Not knowing precisely what the law is as regards publicly discussing live (potentially) criminal cases, I'll settle for a few random, unworthy observations.
- Gotta love the way Gordon Brown solemnly offered PC Plod his forensic account of how outrageously Mandelson betrayed him - sorry, betrayed the Nation - when in office just before and after the 2010 GE. Hell hath no fury ... and it's never difficult to tell the difference between a dour Scotsman and a ray of sunshine. Etc
- Also enjoyed seeing Mandy crammed into the back seat of ... a Ford Focus! Of all cars. With three other coppers. He won't have sat in a seat as lowly as that for the best part of 40 years!
- Channel 4's "sources close to Mandelson" said that when Andy was arrested but not him, he reckoned the storm had passed. Well, that's Mandy - always aggressive, shameless optimism in public, as we've said here before. But - how much sleep did Mandy get, do we think, after Andy was arrested?
- Nobody has much scrupled to disguise the exact location of his "Camden" house (= Regents Park). Nice house!

My wife called me in to watch the TV news last night. Pretty uninformative except for a reference to his "home" being worth millions of quid. Where did that come from, then?
Partly house price inflation, no doubt, but when did he buy it and for how much? Did he pay market value for it?
