Now, I have studied the various clips very carefully, and I just do not see the body language of a man caught up in a situation he would wish to avoid. Dressed in a shabby shell suit and slightly overweight, he ambles and swaggers in front of the police in an ambivalent manner suggesting a healthy disrespect for law and order.
What is extraordinary is the backlash from the media referring to Britain as ' a police state ' and castigating the force at each and every turn.
Even more disturbing was the role the media had to play in the Bob Quick resignation this week.
The Anti terror chief, highly respected within the Met, blundered badly when allowing highly sensitive documents, relating to an anti terrorist operation, to be captured on film by a journalist. The operation was immediately brought forward and was a complete success with 12 arrests being made and a major cell uncovered. Would our press really jeopardise the national security for a story. Where does integrity and public interest meet on the scale.
Mr Quick has shown great humility in resigning and a certain London Mayor has got his way after his public display of contempt over the arrest of Damian Green, instigated by Mr Quick, some months ago.
The Steven Gerrard myth was once again exposed during the week as a refreshed and invigorated Michael Essien got full use of his suitably embroidered back pocket.
Frank Lampard must play central midfield for England partnered by a suitably disciplined holding player.
Sir Alex must achieve what no other Manager of a British club has come next wednesday. We have been here before have we not.
Augusta is in full swing and my tip, young Rory McIlroy, needs to make the cut thereafter anything is possible. Be warned I did tip the German juggernaut Bayern Munich against Barcelona during the week.
I hope everyone has an excellent Easter break.
