Brown's Banana Republic?

Reports reach us that Gordon Brown is planning to bring into Government Lord Stevens, formerly head of that trigger-happy state within the State which is the Metropolitan Police. Could that be the same Metropolitan Police which, even a year into its "investigation", has mysteriously failed to charge anyone is relation to the flagrant sale of the knighthoods and peerages with which the Met itself is so liberally and routinely endowed? Silly me, I had fondly imagined that John "Banana" Yates (bent and yellow) was merely concerned for his own and his superiors' Ks and Big Ps, and was only for that reason refusing to do his publicly-funded job and sworn duty. But there is clearly more to it even than that. Can we look forward to ministerial office for Lord Yates of The Yard?
