I prefer Lynn Scott's answer, as it is more subtle and more disturbing.

What is yesbuthowever for kind of a source? Never heard of it.
I am a bit worried by 'The police were involved, as evidenced by the 
resignation of two of Scotland Yard’s top cops.' That is OK in a blog, 
where you just express opinions without any guarantee that you checked 
your facts. Layout of these pages suggests however, that it is trying to 
come across as a journalistic medium. In that case that bullet-point 
should have been something like: 'The were rumours that police were 
involved. This led to the resignation of two of Scotland Yard’s top 
cops.' The difference being that they resigned because of the rumours 
and not because of anything they did. They might have done something, 
but that has not been proved yet. That the vast majority of the people 
believe they are guilty is also no evidence at all.
His biographical data mentions: 'He also is a political correspondent 
for BBC Radio London.', so he should have known better. Then again he 
does not claim to have any training in law or journalism, that might 
explain something.
Or he might just imitate Murdoch style journalism as a tongue in cheek.
