The other victim in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes
The list of failings of officers at so many levels in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes beggars belief. However it is overshadowed by the shameful attempts to cast blame on Menezes himself.
We need a police force that is free and enabled to do it's job. They can only do that when they have the faith and trust of the British people. Those people that decided to effect a cover-up and then proceed to defend their actions rather than accept responsibility for mistakes, cause more damage to that cause than any other agency could. THEY are the real villains here.

Can y'tell waddidis yet?
This is a detail of the larger cartoon I am currently working on. When you get into the area that I hope to tackle on this one (you'll have to wait to find out), there's a fine line to tread between too much and not enough information.
In addition, getting background on a subject can take almost as long as the drawing itself... bear with me
Unless it's a tour de force from a recognised and respected editorial cartoonist, people won't dwell on a cartoon trying to discover its meaning. The cartoon's got to be digestible in a heart beat. In this respect Khalil Bendib the Arab - American cartoonist is a genius. Whether you agree with his view or not, he has a way of seeing a situation in what seems like a screamingly obvious way, but only once he's pointed it out. This one is an excellent example

Sir Menzies Campbell
I intended to only blog once a day here, but the resignation of Sir Menzies Campbell couldn't be allowed to go unmentioned, so here's a quickie.
At least once he could see the knives were out, he had the presence of mind to spare himself the ignominy that Kennedy and Thorpe were subjected to.
Lib Dem seems to be acquiring a bit of a history of discarded leaders. This business of choosing leaders that they subsequently find unsuitable seems to becoming a bit of a habit.
