On July 17th last year I wrote a piece on the cynical nature of the H&S prosecution in the De Menezes killing.

Among other things I prognosticated as follows:

I foresee the usual official reaction when the Met is convicted two years from now. "Procedures have been changed to prevent a recurrence of this unfortunate event and no useful purpose would be served by disciplinary action at this late stage."

Today I see the following on the BBC website, following the guilty verdict:

Len Duval, the chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority, said much work had been done to improve the force's procedures since the killing.

Nobody has resigned. Nobody has been disciplined. I strongly suspect nothing has changed. Want to commit murder and get away with it? Join the bastards in blue.
