so I’ll keep this update brief:
* The policemen responsible for de Menezes’ death lied in almost every pertinent detail on the form they submitted for his post-mortem (bulky jacket, ran when challenged, vaulted the barrier etc etc).
* Senior sources from the Underground have apparently claimed that there were tapes in the platform CCTV cameras, and at least three out of the four were working. However, the police sent back tapes after the incident saying “Sorry, these are no good to us – they’re blank”. These are the cameras that would have captured de Menezes’ behaviour on the platform and confirmed whether or not his behaviour was in any way “threatening”.
Or is a month officially considered long enough these days that we’re now required, in the words of one of Britain’s most inspirational orators, to "put this behind us and move on”?
