London Bombs (22)

Thursday 15th December 2005

There will be no public inquiry into the London bombings of 7th July 2005.

So instead we're going to have a "narrative" supplied by the government. We've already had that. The parallel with the way an inquiry into 9/11 was at first refused is almost embarrassing ("it would be a distraction" says Charles Clarke). Of course when it did occur, the 9/11 inquiry deliberately failed to do its purported job, and reiterated the "narrative" which had already been supplied.

See also the article by Michael Meacher which I quoted and linked to here:

It is quite clear that there are at least some reasons why the Government does not want a proper investigation.
