New Sign Suggested for Arrivals at UK Airports and Ports
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"
Whist all the debacle regarding Damian Green and the short comings of our social services departments, yet again by failing to provide protection of vulnerable young people in the UK has been grabbing all the media headlines, one of the most tragic and loudest events in recent history has been relegated to barely a whisper.
Yet another terrible, but altogether, typical week for decency, freedom of the media, justice and, what passes itself off as democracy, in UKPlc.

Telegraph: De Menezes inquest: police officers who shot him dead committed no crime, rules coroner
It is my opinion that Craig Murry's comment sums up just how far our political masters have control over our Judiciary, our supposedly independent, para-military police forces and security services, and how far away they are from any form of accountability.

The Disgraceful Sir Michael Wright, A Grovelling Tool of the Police State
One of the features of a transition to a police state is that those who should defend our liberties transfer their allegiance to the executive of the state. Viz the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Serjeant at Arms. Now we have a senior coroner. Sir Michael Wright, coroner in the Jean Charles de Menezes inquiry, who has told the jury they are not permitted to return a verdict of unlawful killing.
That is of course the obvious verdict from the evidence. Were it not so, the disgraceful Wright would not have needed to serve the police by so instructing.
Wright went on to give a completely one-sided summation of the evidence, restating police evidence and ignoring the evidence of many close eye-witnesses who contradicted it. In perhaps the most extraordinary passage in a summation in recent English legal history, he went on to justify the occasions where the police killers were caught obviously lying:
However, Wright added, even if the jury found the officers had lied, they would not be able to blame them for the death. "Many people tell lies for a variety of reasons … [including] to mitigate the impact of what might be a … tragic mistake," he said.
Read that again.
However, Wright added, even if the jury found the officers had lied, they would not be able to blame them for the death. "Many people tell lies for a variety of reasons … [including] to mitigate the impact of what might be a … tragic mistake," he said.
Incredible, isn't it? So it is fine to shoot a completely innocent man repeatedly in the head, and lie about it in Court, because you are only trying to "mitigate the impact".
What?
Well Craig, as far as I can understand it is like, when a Prime Minister announces that they are going to stands down and they say something like "I ask you to accept one thing. Hand on heart, I did what I thought was right. I may have been wrong. That's your call.... I have been very lucky and very blessed. This country is a blessed nation. The British are special, the world knows it, in our innermost thoughts, we know it. This is the greatest nation on Earth. It has been an honour to serve it."
Oh! they say, you tried your best, alot of people were lied to and got hurt and killed but, hey, you did your best, it's a difficult job you know, being a PM or an armed police officer, but you did what you thought was right. You may have been wrong but that's ok then isn't it?
There is a place reserved for Sir Michael in the deepest, blackest, hottest corner of Hell. He has already had much more time on this Earth than was allowed to poor Jean Charles De Menezes, who Sir Michael wishes us to believe was quite lawfully blown away by the police.
and I may have found the address...
Sir Michael, C/o The Eighth Circle, Bolgia 8, Hell.

You know, I can't remember a coroner ever giving a jury that kind of instruction before. And the idea that he could make excuses for the police lying is just incredible, a member of the public wouldn't be given the same lenience. Whatever happened to the idea that we are all equal before the law!?
