Two Bliars for the Price of One?

Mr Menezes' family want Sir Ian to resign for incorrectly linking the shooting to the attempted bombings early on.

On the day of Mr Menezes' death, Sir Ian said the shooting was "directly linked to the ongoing and expanding anti-terrorist operation".

Sir Ian has told the News Of The World it was 24 hours before he learned the Brazilian was wrongly shot dead.

The family's lawyer has expressed "incredulity" that he made statements without knowing facts.

Sir Ian has said he will not step down over the Menezes case

...

[A] spokesman for Tony Blair said he fully backed Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair over his handling of the case.


Ay, there's the rub. The Scotland Yard police chief blunders horribly at the least, lying at the worst, and yet he is not accountable!

The Prime Minister blunders horribly at the least, lying at the worst, and yet he is not accountable.

Perhaps the Brits will finally realize something: that having liars in your government does not advance your image worldwide!
