Dodgy, just dodgy.

"The Times understands that both police and prosecutors felt the case was hampered by the likelihood that the journalists could be accused of entrapment."

Entrapment is not allowed?

I thought they did undercover work where cops pretended to be dealers/hookers etc, or is that just in the States?

Given that what these peers of realm were up to was almost identical to Jonathan Aitken and the cash for questions scandal, it seems there really is one set of rules for Conservative sleaze and a whole other hogroast when it comes to Labour sleaze.

They are seriously corrupt, and we are apparently powerless to stop them....
