The timing of the announcement is obviously to create paranoia amongst out Olympic visitors and promote discussion about how far Britain is prepared to go to achieve it's aims with specific reference to the allegation that the deliberately got my grandmother addicted to an opiate and are trying to do the same with me. Of course the question everyone else will be asking is whether the preliminary search of the grandmother's property yesterday was simply a cover to allow the body to be smuggled into the property.

The police have now arrested Stuart Hazell Tia Sharp's grandmother's boyfriend. Apparently at around 20:25 local (19:25 GMT) he was arrested in a public place in the Merton area after being identified by a member of the public. The news broke at around 21:15 local (20:15 GMT).

of course nothing opens up a community like putting them in a stressful and unusual situation while flooding the area with police and media while organising search parties and giving everyone only one topic of conversation. really it's just the olympic cauldron debate in microcosim. apart from a recent influx of tamed irish travellers the long term objective of hitting this specific community seems to be to turn people off the state and it's handouts. with fewer hands out there will be fewer people to notice when central government funding to croydon gets cut dramatically.
