21 July (Part 3) - Institutional Corruption

For repeatedly saying the police in general and the Metropolitan Police in particular are thoroughly corrupt and have been for many years has occasionally got me into hot water but thankfully that view is now widely recognised. Recognised even by the current Commissioner who has belatedly apologised to the family of Daniel Morgan who was a private eye murdered in 1987 because he knew too much about their dishonest ways.

Several people have asked why recent events have not been mentioned here in view of my family links - through my daughter - to the Morgan family. It is mainly because I do not know much more than has been reported in the newspapers etc. and the family are looking forward to a quieter life.

Daniel left a wife, two children, a sister and his brother Alastair. His mother did not live to see the Home Office report due to the crooked interference and consequent delay by one Cressida Dick.

The impact on Alastair has been devastating, mentally definitely and physically, probably. He is no longer the man with whom I used to share a beer or watch a rugby match.

The shared monetary compensation will not bring his life back and his solicitor who has worked tirelessly on the case for 25 years or more will presumably have to be paid so that he can afford to fight his next police corruption case. Never trust a policeman.
