Is throwing a minister still an accurate measure of trust?

A policeman should be allowed, without intervention, to lobby his MP regarding any subject he feels is appropriate. The key test in the current brewing storm is not whether the police lobbied their MPs but whether they were asked or invited to do so by government.

If they were then not only is it an unacceptable situation but it is also further evidence that New Labour has failed to understand the right and proper place of government in our society.

I suspect that I could throw a minister a long way. It is no longer an accurate measure of how much I trust them.
