in response to reader comment: bla,bla,bla

According to Jack Straw, the then Home Secretary (Justice Minister), Jean Charles de Menezes was in Britain legally. The "police/SAS" through sheer bloody-minded incompetence, murdered an innocent man and then, aided by Authority, covered it up. "We can't have police officers going to jail. Why, the two-dimensional public might lose respect for the police." That's the kind of country you live in, Britisher pals. Hate it and leave it.
