The wrong man

I am sure everyone's sympathies go out the family of Brazilian man shot dead on Friday on suspicion of being a terrorist (here, and pretty much everywhere else too). Quite how this happened has yet to be uncovered but I am sure heads will NOT roll at the Met as this poor man is written off as a casualty of the War on Terr-ur (TM, GW Bush, 2001). No doubt the arse-covering has already begun. It could have been anyone - hell, it could have been me.

Also, a sad goodbye to Sir Richard Doll, a man whose research has probably preventted thousands, if not millions, from an early, painful death. Bless you, Sir Richard.
