For those readers still clinging to the hope that police corruption is confined to a few bad apples,a read of
the latest blog by Michael Gillard may throw some doubts on their conviction.
In it the journalist author of several books on crime and the police involvement
in it exposes at considerable length a largely unknown cover-up behind the
Stephen Lawrence investigation and in particular how the Met did not hand over vital evidence to the Macpherson enquiry.
Michael Gillard, who I met in 2004 at the publicity event for his book
‘Untouchables - Dirty Cops, Bent Justice and Racism in Scotland Yard’ has a long
history of exposing police corruption yet to be challenged by the police
although he did have to hide overseas for a few years when his life was threatened.
Dishonesty and corruption is everywhere.
