Planted witnesses and their utilities

[Paul Rigby]

Imo, bang on target (no pun intended).

Immediately afterwards and ever since, I have considered this event to be a planned judicial execution - a powerful "fright" message to the public that henceforward state murder will be sanctioned if they step off the straight and narrow. Not to mention a little added bolster to the "war on terrorism".

Fortunately, the enormous pubic furore that followed completely stamped down that new initiative.

I agree entirely as to the intention - death squads on British streets. But my distinct impression is that this intention was sabotaged from "within". Hypothetically, did we have, say, MI5, spiking the Met?
