If you get away with it at the time, you get away with it forever

According to Jack Straw, the then Home Secretary (Justice Minister), Jean Charles de Menezes was in Britain legally. The "police/SAS" through sheer bloody-minded incompetence, murdered an innocent man and then, aided by Authority, covered it up. "We can't have police officers going to jail. Why, the two-dimensional public might lose respect for the police." That's the kind of country you live in, Britisher pals. Hate it and leave it.
