This was excellent - especially considering the BBC's refusal to cover the Ian Tomlinson story:

"We would reiterate what Sir Paul Stephenson has said - that uniformed police officers should be identifiable at all times by their shoulder identification numbers."

He added: "The problem is when the officers change their uniforms and forget to put on their shoulder badges.

How did they get it so wrong first time?

There was some surprise that the first post-mortem on Mr Tomlinson was not carried out by Dr Cary, who often oversees suspicious cases in the London area. Instead, it was handled by Dr Freddy Patel, who had previously been warned by the General Medical Council about his conduct. He found that the man died of natural causes minutes after he was struck by the police officer.

Good'o

The Metropolitan Police are to be investigated over their handling of the media following the death of Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protests.

The 47-year-old died minutes after he was pushed over by a policeman.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission inquiry follows complaints police misinformed the media.

Mr Tomlinson's family say the Met knew its officers had contact with him before his death. The City of London Police force will also be investigated.
