Tim Hames: 'Oops, Sorry, Won't Do'
Tim Hames at The Times Online says in a July 25, 2005 column that, "The police [in London], according to a Sunday newspaper yesterday [July 24, 2005], fear a backlash in the Muslim community after the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, an innocent Brazilian electrician, at Stockwell Tube station on Friday [July 22, 2005]."
"What the police should fear is a backlash from the entire civilised community," Mr. Hames said. "Yet there is no evidence that either the politicians or the public will provide it. The theme has been that this was a tragic mistake, but one which was unavoidable, even inevitable, in the current climate."
For more, see "Oops, sorry, won't do. We can't just shrug our shoulders over this shooting."
