Grandstanding?

It feels a little strange to find myself agreeing with David Blunkett, but I too find myself somewhat at a loss to understand why the Police found it necessary to turn up mob-handed at 6.30 in the morning to arrest Ruth Turner in connection with the "cash for honours" enquiry. Surely they didn't consider her a flight risk? You would have thought they could have arranged things in a rather more civilised manner. This looks like simple show-boating on their part, and I think they should explain themselves.
