SHAKEN BABY SIN-DROME

THE death of baby Jayden Wray in 2009 from complications linked to rickets and the decision to charge his parents with murder exposed staggering incompetence and bloody-mindedness at the Met Police, two London hospitals, and among forensic pathologists and social workers at Islington council.

RUPERT THE BARE-FACED...

“WE HAVE never pushed our commercial interests in our newspapers.” So said Rupert Murdoch at the Leveson inquiry, speaking under oath. We must assume that either the DPP will prosecute him for perjury… or that incidents recorded in the Eye over the last 25 years have been complete coincidences.

RESERVOIR DODGE

THOSE who have followed the sorry saga of CDC, the UK’s state-owned investment fund, may not be surprised to learn that eight years after short-changing the world’s poor, the bosses at private equity manager Actis are planning to line their pockets further – through a massive and complex tax avoidance scheme.
