It always ends in a scandal. Just be honest, we spied on people looking for justice after our failings and gross negligence.

    Metropolitan Police gathered information on 18 family campaigns.

    The Met Police collected information on 18 justice campaigns - including that of Jean Charles de Menezes - a report into a now defunct unit has said.


    Hard to comprehend why anyone would think this justified.

    I tried, I really did but justification there is none. Plenty of promotions for the perpetrators of some of these injustices though.

    only SCUM would spy on these poor families, and the MET are worse than SCUM in doing this!

    Hardly a surprise. The police and security services in this country have been out of control for years. They won't be happy until we're all being watched constantly. I remember when we could take the high ground on things like this over Eastern Bloc nations. I guess this is what happens when your only competition is something like ISIS.

    If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear they only monitor terrorists

    And people still use 'If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to be afraid of' excuse when justifying increased surveillance. :o

    If you've got nothing to hide, why would anyone want to spy on you....and they don't only monitor terrorists.
