So no harm done then?
i.e.
Either what Crouch said was true and as such didn't say anything that the FL knew already or what Crouch said was false and thus would equally not influence the FL's position because they knew it to be false (said Trousers, somewhat inarticulately)
In other words, I'm not sure what damage Crouch's comment about the PLC could possibly have done.
Anyway, onwards and upwards (hopefully)
