The Murder of Daniel Morgan - tell me more.

“The panel has never received any reasonable explanation for the refusal over seven years by [then] Assistant Commissioner Dick and her successors to provide access to the Holmes accounts to the Daniel Morgan independent panel.”

7 years! How she ever ever ended up as commisioner after the Jean Charles de Menezes shooting was extraordinary but this is outrageous.
 
Was out with my copper acquaintance two weeks ago, he was Met, now Devon & Cornwall, said that Dick is very popular among the rank and file, 'a copper's copper' were his words. For an institution that likes to cover up all wrongdoing by its own, seems he's spot on.
She will back the most murderous of her officers. So popular. Popular amongst cunts.
 
Based on the media's take it would seem that the report isn't going as hard on Rupe and his henchmen/women as some were expecting. Is this because people haven't dissected all 1200 pages of it sufficiently for it to have come out, because the Met bit is bigger news and therefore the primary point of focus or because it's simply not there in any significant way?

An SNP MP (not a Labour one) asked Patel the sole question about the implications of the Morgan report for the media and the case for Leveson II.

Nicola Sturgeon suggests Scotland easing delay as cases five times higher than early May – as it happened

Unsurprisingly, her response was to repeat Hancock’s ( then Culture Secretary) decision that it was no longer appropriate, proportionate and in the public interest to proceed given the potential costs and the amount of time that had been spent on part one itself.

Handy, that.

They really are all in this together, aren't they?
 
Ian Blair on R4 just now saying the Met is not corrupt and Dick is 'the finest officer of her generation'. Apparently he used to run anti-corruption at the Met...


The same Ian Blair who was Dick’s boss when she orchestrated the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes, that Ian Blair? The man in charge of the Met during the period in question when the investigation in to Morgan’s murder was being trashed by his organisation in order to cover up corruption within its ranks? Who was given a peerage for his trouble? Well, if he says she’s a good egg, who are we to disagree?
