As
some of you will know, had he not been murdered in 1987, the private
investigator Daniel Morgan would have been related to me.
The Home Secretary has today announced a Hillsborough style inquiry into the failure of the police to
solve the murder and the Metropolitan Police corruption which is likely
to have been instrumental in no one being brought to justice.
It seems very likely, indeed the police have admitted it, that their decision
to go for a cover up rather than an investigation into one of their own was corrupt.
“We recognise that we have to take responsibility for the consequences
of the repeated failure of the MPS over the years to confront the role played by
police corruption in protecting those responsible for the murder from being
brought to justice.”
Nothing much has changed, the police’s first inclination is
always to protect themselves and their friends from the consequences of their
own crimes. We have seen it on a small scale in Bexley, now we will see it on
the grand scale under the watchful eye of a judge.
As you may imagine, there have been other things to do today including modifying
the family website
which has been neglected of late.
