Baroness Scotland.

She is one of the few members of the government who is probably making a financial sacrifice to be a minister. As a qualified QC she could be raking it in.

So it is a bit surprising that she hasn't resigned already.

However if a caution or conviction for employing an illegal immigrant would lead to her disbarment then she has every incentive to cling on to office for dear life. Anyone know whether this is the case?

Loves the clubby atmosphere. Missing from an office.

Is it just me, or do UKBA staff routinely batter doors down and ransack the housers of cleaners suspected of working illegally?

Because it smacks to me of a bit of theatre for the media, and totally unnecessary...

James- She'd still be a memebr of the Lords so the clubbiness would still be there.

Julia- Yes, as you say it's theatre. The police do it all the time when they arrest someone famous (the Pete Townsend case sticks in my mind), they go completely overboard.
