The establishment always wins and will continue to do so as long as we don't have a proper written constitution. To be honest people die in custody all the time and at the hands of the police in other circumstances but the public just turns a blind eye as its not easy to believe that sometimes these people are totally innocent victims; in Ian;s case it was patently so due to it being recorded by so many people but even that hasn't done much good.

The decision is shameful and I for one would like to support this family;anyone any suggestions as to the best way?

A close family member of ours died because of a breach of a duty of care within the NHS and coroner did not even assign appropriate responsibility to the hospital. As a result we are similarly aggrieved at the failure of the state to hold its institutions accountable. Had we been able to afford legal representation and subscribe to the pension fund of a law firm the position might have been different. The law is clearly an ass and thats putting it politely.
