- Met convicted for failings that led to De Menezes death
· Tories and Lib Dems demand resignation
· Commissioner says shooting was an isolated tragedy
Sir Ian Blair vowed yesterday to stay on as Britain's top police officer, despite sustained calls for his resignation, after his force was found guilty of "catastrophic" failings that led to the shooting dead of Jean Charles de Menezes.
An Old Bailey jury found the Metropolitan police guilty of breaking health and safety law in July 2005 when De Menezes was killed after being mistaken for a suicide bomber. Fining the force £175,000 and ordering it to pay £385,000 in costs, judge Mr Justice Henriques called on the force to learn lessons.

....this about sums one element of our failing culture.No-one taking responsibility.
Its not my fault, no its not mine either... or mine...This is the beginnings of a very scary scenario.
Where the police can make such a HUGE fuck up
and no-one takes any responsibility?
I am outraged!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
It would seem the acute tendencies of shirking responsibility and accountability as well as general buck passing from America has started an epidemic across the pond.... I am so sorry mates, if it would have been up to me, Americans who are afflicted with this disease would have been quarantined- or at least made to wear respirators with bullshit filters on them.

what do you think about this shedding of responsibility?
