The Police could tell the media (off the record) that the moon was made of cheese and it would be printed as fact and they know it. Did they really think they could get away with this? Were they hoping that the media circus surrounding the arrest of the failed bombers a few days later would make everyone forget about Stockwell? Did they really think that other lies they told like ‘the CCTV wasn’t working’ would cover their tracks? Or that the de Menezes family would accept the pitiful £5,000 compensation offered by the MET and forget about it. One thing they did not count on was the determination of Jean Charles’ cousins who like him were resident in the UK.
From the word go Jean Charles’ cousins were told that the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) would have to investigate the killing and then all their questions would be answered. At a press conference given by the family last Thursday this turned out to be another lie. Alessandro Pereira told the media that he had never been convinced that the IPCC would do anything other than cover up what had happened. He challenged the IPCC to surprise him, to prove that one state institution could successfully investigate another. His predictions about the enquiry were not only proved right but turned out to be even worse.
The family told the media at the vigil how the IPCC had refused to give them a copy of their findings. Even worse they were discovering its conclusions 2rd hand from deliberate leaks that were appearing in the press. Their lawyer Assad Rahman told the media that if Jean Charles’ family were white, British and middleclass they would never have been treated like this. Another of Jean Charles’ cousins Patricia da Silva Armani thanked those attending the vigil for coming and assured everyone present that they would not rest until justice had been done. Despite a huge turnout from the corporate media (Sunday is a slow News day) there has been very little coverage of the vigil in today’s papers.
Another speaker at the event was the father of Baba Ahmed another innocent victim of the so called ‘War on Terror’ that has seen his family ripped apart. Baba Ahmed was the subject of a 5am raid by anti terror Police who severely beat him and then told numerous lies about how he sustained his injuries. Baba a Brighton student is facing extradition to America where he will NOT get a fair trial. Home secretary Charles Clark has the final decision which does not bode well.

Firstly he was not running away. The fact that he jogged to get the train is irrelevant because he was sat down reading a newspaper when the cops calmly approached him before pumping 8 bullets into his head at three second intervals. There was no 'chase'. There was no spur of the moment decision making. The whole thing was a cold, calculated action by individuals who had been given an order of 'shoot to kill'. It was state sanctioned murder. The idea that he was concealing a bomb under his clothes is equally absurd as he was wearing a thin denim jacket thus making his 'concealed' bomb the smallest device in the history of Jihad. There is also the fact that the 'suspects' ( the failed July bombers) had carried their bombs in rucksacks. The only thing that Jean Charles was holding was a free newspaper that he had stopped to pick up on way into the station. This is another clue that these fuckwits should have spotted. If you are about to kill yourself for Allah are you really going to be interested in what the infidel's newspaper has got to say that morning?
Finally heres a multiple choice question for 'Concerned' and everyone else who believes that we live in a democracy:
If you accidentally shot a Policeman 7 times in the head, would you be:
a) In prison waiting for trial having been vilified by the media?
b) In hospital handcuffed to your bed after resisting arrest?
c) Enjoying a paid holiday at the tax payers expence, your privacy well being taken care of?

Does anyone know where this electrician was working that morning? Perhaps he witnessed something he shouldn't have?

The facts of this case are horrific enough without looking for conspiracys.

Who shot him, and who did they work for? Sorry, but you do not empty a clip at a prone man unless you want them dead.
Support Is Nicer

It has been admitted such personnel were engaged in surveillance, so what about the rest of the job? There was a time when we'd have expected MPs to be told if such a decision had been taken, nowadays I don't know whether whoever decides such things would even bother to tell the stooges in the government.
