The revelation that the police tried to [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/24/stephen-lawrence-father-police-spy-inquiry]smear Stephen Lawrence's family[/url] comes as no surprise. After scandals involving politicians, bankers, the press, the NHS and the BBC, one more  seems to fit the pattern.

The phrase "greater transparency" keeps keeps cropping up, part of the claim that the scandals of the past couldn't happen today. Who knows, perhaps things are getting better but change will not come about through legislation. There needs to be a change in attitude.

What we really need is more religion, specifically more Islam. If we want to be less homophobic and less misogynistic, I can't think of anything better than more Islam.

People don't really want more transparency and more accountability. What they want is justice for all, and they certainly won't get that through more transparency and more accountability. Above all, won't someone please, [i]please[/i] think of the children. For their sake we must abandon more transparency and more accountability and try to get some more Islam instead.
