The spin you refer to was largely generated by the police themselves who frankly LIED and this has been shown. Any spin on the matter was as expected created by the media. In hindsight the front page headline of The Sun newspaper that hailed the killing of a "known" terrorist the day after the shooting,now appears grossly inaccurate and at least hysterical. I certainly do not agree that this was a court case which would have gained anyone politically.
I do not accept your view that all of this procedure was for nought.

I really hope that you're right and I have no problem with you being more optomistic than me. However, I have a feeling that in a few years time this will be nothing more than a vague memory, of politicians simply showing that some justice would be done. But is any individual going to feel any punishment? I thought that was the aim, to bring someone to account for their individual actions.
For the Londoners reading, will you now feel better about your personal safety when out and about?
