Blunkett orders cell death review
Typical reaction:
"The Home Secretary David Blunkett is to call for a review into the case of a former paratrooper who choked to death in police custody. "
And I wonder why? If you aren't aware a documentary is going to screen his death tonight on BBC1. So he announces an enquiry 5 hours before it is screened but 6 years after the event? Can anyone spell knee-jerk? Anyone? Anyone?
So to get an enquiry launched you have to show your loved one being killed (the judge's words, not mine) on national television and it works despite the fact you have been asking for one for 4 years.
Government by media.
