Demiurge you state that Wikipedia is not a soapbox for users to criticise Minister McDowell- that is true. But Demiurge I think you demur with far too much vigour. It is also not a soapbox for people to champion him. His 'see what I see...' statement is arguably one of the greatest insights into the workings of his finely tuned political mind. He's letting people know he knows what they know, and to hell with judicial and political mechanisms. It's a battle cry to the embatttled victims of crime- and also, let us be clear, nonsense. it belongs in the article as it will in time define his legacy.
