Don't Shoot I'm Brazilian (Part 4)

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

The very day the Brazilian diplomatic delegation arrives in London seeking (in what you might expect to be pretty 'frank' terms) answers from Inspector Knacker it emerges that the CCTV footage from the platform has mysteriously disappeared...this after the police claimed it wasn't working (disputed by TfL who actually run the CCTV cameras at tube stations) . If ever a Fawlty Towers-esque farce were to be written about the police...

Oh and the family of the victim has been offered £15,000 to shut up and piss off, er sorry as an "ex-gratia payment" (an ancient English legal term derived from the Latin 'ex' - getting ourselves out of , 'gratia' - great shit).

When Sir Ian Blair became Commissioner a few months ago he promised to crack down hard on cocaine use at middle-class dinner parties. If things get much worse, you'd forgive him for asking round for invitations...while he may now have the backing of Downing Street, Rev Blair will soon change his tune if he feels the mood of his congregation turning.
