about

On 24th April 1979, Blair Peach died from head injuries sustained from being hit by a truncheon by a member of the Metropolitan Police's 'Special Patrol Group'. They've spent the next 40 years trying to cover it up. Even when the initial report into the murder was released, Commander Mark Simmons of the Met ensured that his language at the press briefing was deliberately guarded so that he didn't actually blame the police for what he referred to not as the murder it was but as a "tragic death": It was only ever "likely" that one of them struck the fatal blow; the witnesses to the murder - 14 of them - "say" they saw it happen and the original investigating commander "thinks" that officers lied... Everything is a deflection of blame, carefully phrased to give room for doubt.

There is no doubt. Blair Peach was murdered by the Met and the bastards are still trying to cover it up.
