Bigmouth ex-coppers who fed media MP pr0nz story face privacy probe

Normally I'm all for digging the dirt on a senior politician.

But in this case there's no whistleblowing argument. Green's lie came in response to the unwarranted police persecution. If they hadn't leaked, he'd have had nothing to deny.

I heard the cop interviewed on BBC radio, when he spoke of thousands of pornographic thumbnails. Well, you could have those in places like a browser cache or a mail folder (especially a spam folder, where they're inevitable) without ever having actually visited a porn site. Seems very suspicious that that should ever have become a story.
