    That’s abominable!

    “passed elections”
    “digesting behaviour”
    “site seeing”

    And also contains almost word for word what it says in the Police Logbook.
    And it was sent before the details of the Police Logbook were made public

    is the leaked version of the logbook the real document, have the Met confirmed that it’s real and not a fake?

    I Wonder if any of the officers responsible for fabricating evidence at hillsborough will ever be arrested?

    Clearly a cabinet ministers career is a much more pressing issue than 96 deaths 🙄

    give them a bloody chance binners, theyve only just (a few weeks ago) put the laws in place to be able to go after them. Sometimes the cynicism in here can be a bit choking 🙄

    The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is set to gain new powers after the House of Lords passed legislation prompted by the Hillsborough disaster and cover-up.

    MPs approved the bill, which enables the IPCC to compel serving officers to give evidence in person, last week.

    The IPCC could investigate up to 2,400 serving or retired officers as it examines the Hillsborough case.

    Ministers say the bill is “essential to achieve justice” for the victims.

    Home Office minister Lord Taylor of Holbeach told peers: “The bill before the House today is essential to achieve justice for the 96 innocent men, women and children who died as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.

    “This short bill provides the IPCC with the tools it needs to and marks one step further along the road to justice for the victims of Hillsborough. All who support this aim will, I’m sure, support this bill.”

    Be fair Binners though its not like they had video evidence on hilsborough or witness statements

    Still good to know 20 years on and plod still lies
    I wonder if judges are paying attention to this fact
    Ignoring political point scoring we are prety screwed if plod keep getting found out to lie as they testify in court quite a bit – not good

    Stoner did the police have the ability to refuse to attend the IPCC – Holds head in hands 😯

    JY, yep and also:

    The bill will also mean that in exceptional circumstances, the IPCC could investigate a matter that has already been investigated by its predecessor body, the Police Complaints Authority.

    Without the changes in the Bill the IPCC wouldnt have been able to revisit the investigation of the officers at all.

    So I wonder if we’ll see any arrests, as in the pleb gate case.

    I predict a raft of senior officers retiring on grounds of I’ll health

    Retirement wont protect an officer from criminal charges, only professional sanctions. Your cynicism is showing again binners.

    We can investigate both criminal and misconduct offences after an officer has retired, though retirement prevents any misconduct sanction

    God only knows how I’ve ended up so cynical! Maybe it’s because I’m presently listening to a Tory MP, on the news, saying ‘we have to rebuild trust in the police’. Funny that. Until one of their own number found themselves on the wrong end of it, they didn’t seem to give a toss about the subject!

    I’ll believe they’re serious on the matter when as many officers have been arrested over hillsborough as they have over plebgate.

    I won’t be holding my breath
