THE LAST DITCH
Link: The Daily Mash – MET CHIEF REFUSES TO RESIGN AFTER SETTING FIRE TO TRAMP.
I am tired of trying to explain the de Menezes case to a heartless nation. The Daily Mash says it all in the linked article, so much better than I can. In doing so, it satirises perfectly the arrogant disregard for life and liberty – and the lack of accountability – that is at the heart of New Labour's Britain.
No-one should have to fire Sir Ian Blair. If he were half a man, he would have resigned long since.
Totally agree, Tom.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
