UK police seize computers of skeptic blogger in England

The first blogger to break the Climategate2 story has had a visit from the police and has had his computers seized.

Today he was raided by six UK police (Norfolk Constabulary and Metropolitan police) and several of his computers were seized as evidence. He writes:
