I assume you are referring to cash for peerages, and not his track record for a lack of integrity in leading this country....
Yes, he should be treated as a suspect as clearly he is one, because the administration of the Labour party and awarding peerages are both utlimately under his control, and so indeed the buck stops with him.
It is annoying that detectives visited him whereas most suspects, celebrity, famous, high profile, powefull or whatever are generally asked to attend a police station for interview. So he has already been treated out of the ordinary.
Notwithstanding, the Met Police could have done themselves a lot of favours by announcing the investigation, and then quietly getting on with it, without involving the media. If the suspects choose to do so, so be it, but briefing about on-going investigations is not a good idea.

This really is a silly question.
He invited the police around to have a chat with him, when he saw fit to put it into his busy agenda.
The police deferred their "interview" until he saw fit to see them.
Come on, get real, how many "suspects" arrive at such a convenient arrangement?
Of course he's not a suspect.
If he were the police would have dragged him out of No. 10 at 0630 with his knickers round his ankles.
Can't you recognise a pantomime when you see one?????

do you think its right for the P.M. to act like a suspect?

If he acts like a suspect he should expect to be treated like one.

If he has been suspected of doing something wrong then he should be questioned as a suspect until proven otherwise.
Innocent until proven guilty.

Absolutely YES. Nobody is above the law. His rank and status must have no impact whatsoever if the police are investigating a crime.

Blair is a co-conspiritor in the mass-murder of tens of thousands of Iraqui men,women & children.The fact that he's only being questioned about honours for sale sickens me.

I'm a big fan of TB! Haha, see what I did there ?
But ... !
Yes, I think it's right he was detained. PM or not, one rule for one and not the others is wrong.
If he did nothing wrong he has nowt to worry about.

Absolutely. Especially this corrupt PM. Don't be surprised if he isn't charged though. One rule for him and his inept colleagues, one for the low life in this country and another for the hard working tax paying citizens of this country.

As the leader of the party he should know what has been going on. He can have no excuse for not knowing, if in fact he didn't sanction it, I have my doubts.
I believe that its only the office he holds that he has not been arrested. But then as with most things in life its who you know rather than what you know.
