Join The Dots
A recent article informs that relatives of Liverpool fans killed in the Hillsborough
disaster have called on the Metropolitan Police (Met) to answer claims officers spied on them:
I found this interesting because the same happened to me: phone tapped and mail arrived opened. In fact, as stated in my book, my communications were compromised even more than that.
The Hillsborough tragedy and "Lily's" abduction resulted from genuine mistakes made by the authorities. But instead of admitting to them, the authorities covered them up and condemned innocent families to years of injustice and suffering.
Now, I've never had anything to do with Hillsborough and as far as I'm aware, these allegations of spying are new. That fact makes the allegations more compelling. Why? Well, I can understand that some people may find my isolated case quite unbelievable, but when other innocent families are treated the same way then it's far more difficult to ignore. Another example would be the Met's treatment of the Stephen Lawrence family.
In other words, when you join the dots, a very disturbing picture is revealed: the police protect the system, not the public, even when it condemns innocent families to years of injustice and suffering; if you campaign for justice, the police will spy on you.

disaster have called on the Metropolitan Police (Met) to answer claims officers spied on them:
The call comes after Private Eye magazine had a freedom of information (FOI) request turned down by the Met.
The Met has yet to comment, but reportedly turned down the FOI request to "safeguard national security".
Sheila Coleman, of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, called for police to show "transparency" and admit spying.
Louise Brookes lost her brother Andrew Mark Brookes in the disaster and she alleges she has had her post intercepted or tampered with.
She said: "Everything to do with Hillsborough would arrive opened."
Meanwhile, Ms Coleman claimed campaigners' phones were "definitely tapped".
