Well well well, this raises a lot of questions and there are gunnna b at least two clear side to this argument.

However if he then distributed it and did so a fashion that could have been misconstrued then ......... well, there are gunna be some pretty happy faces at the HTCU at Scotland Yard init!! Gunna have to watch the detail o this one!!
