So, Met Police - I hear you're (still) institutionally corrupt these days?

The family of Daniel Morgan has suffered grievously as a consequence of the failure to
bring his murderer or murderers to justice, the unwarranted assurances which they were
given, the misinformation which was put into the public domain, and the denial of the
failings in investigation, including failing to acknowledge professional incompetence,
individuals' venal behaviour, and managerial and organisational failures.

We believe that concealing or denying failings, for the sake of an organisation's public
image is dishonesty on the part of the organisation for reputational benefit, and
constitutes a form of institutional corruption.

Patel gets a wrist-slap as well:

Again at the last minute, and very much to our surprise, the Home Secretary informed us
she would not publish our report in Parliament until she and her officials had time to read
it to ensure the report did not give rise to any issues under Article 2 of the European
Convention on Human Rights, or on National Security grounds.

We do not wish to rehearse the discussions which subsequently took place, other to say
how disappointed we were that the Home Secretary chose to adopt this stance when she
did. We are unaware of any such intervention previously.

We do not believe the Home Secretary's approach was justified in this case.

The podcast "UNTOLD The Daniel Morgan Murder" is excellent.

Only person with the political umph to get all these trial's collapsing or reports delayed is Murdoch. If it was police corruption they'd have just thrown them under the bus in the 30 years since.
