    The policing culture has changed massively in the UK since this 1989, they have been reformed and reformed and reformed. When articles like this say 'police found responsible', yes the police in 1989! Most current serving officers in the UK were children or not even born.
    However, i'm sure Teresa May will now take this as a green light to batter them once again and moral is already at total rock bottom.
    Mid-service officer resignations are at a record high, but you won't read that in the news.

    Point is, after so many years where police covered up what they had done by blaming the supporters the truth has now been established. If this had happened in Argentina it would have been forgotten about the following year. If by chance someone tried to open up an investigation he or she would be found with a hole in their head with brain spilling out. That is fundamentally the difference between both countrys. We are far more civilized in the UK. Argentina is like the wild west

    Skippy....the Queenie's rationalizer. Why do you thump your chest and tell us all how perfect the UK is.....or is the the perfect land of Australia? Better yet, explain to us what it is like to be an Aboriginal in Australia, where it is perfect for everyone.....but Aboriginals? Is Australia still a day morning for Aboriginals?

    The next chest thumping of who perfect Australia must have the following qualifier attached: EXCLUDES ABORIGINALS

    Skippy, tell us how the Commonwealth is the best of everything on this planet......we love reading your nationalistic points of view. Maybe you can share your rose colored sunglasses so we ALL can see your perfect world.
