PCC Alan Billings- the successful Labour candidate for PCC and a noted anti- Thatcherite in his time( see Faith in the City, called 'pure Marxist theology' by a Cabinet Minister). Politics does keep coming up, doesn't it?
So one inquiry you don't require and one three year inquiry you've had.
That's it, isn't it?
Don't say 'No', this thread is getting boring.

I didn't say I would be happy without a Government enquiry. The point I was making is it's irrelevant to argue about previous Labour Governments or the present Tory Government. If Labour had won the last election, I would still say that a Public Inquiry was now justified. The IPCC have taken three years to decide that they can't pursue this because of the passage of time. If that is a reasonable argument then we wouldn't have had the Hillsborough Inquiry, would we? I don't keep bringing politics up, but you do. For your information I voted Conservative in the last election, but so what? At no point in this thread have I made this a political issue, but at every turn you have gone on about three Labour Governments versus the present Tory one.

If you find this thread boring, then don't contribute to it. But if you are going to contribute to it, you must expect, and allow, people of a different viewpoint to express their opinion.
