Letter: Justice for Peach
Perhaps it is now time for them to move on and investigate with similar enthusiasm the death of Blair Peach, the New Zealand-born anti-racism campaigner who was knocked unconscious during a demonstration against the National Front in Southall on 23 April, 1979 and died the next day.
The conviction of the member of the former Metropolitan Police Special Patrol Group responsible for striking Mr Peach would do much to show that the Met has indeed changed over the years.
As would a successful prosecution of his silent and blind-eye-turning colleagues for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
