The claim that the Epping protest is really a 'Nazi pogrom' is a classic Left-wing conspiracy theory, says Steven Tucker. Yes, a few Homeland Party members have got involved. But that's clearly not why it's happening.

Complaints board runs into 'Wall of Silence'

category national | miscellaneous | feature author Tuesday November 19, 2002 03:45author by IMC Editorial Group - IMC Ireland Report this post to the editors

Unidentifiable?The Garda Compaints Board held a press conference about their "Reclaim The Streets" investigation and told the assembled journalists about the difficulties they experienced in trying to get to the bottom of the matter, with Gardai failing to identify their colleagues and generally refusing to assist the work of the inquiry. Media reports are focusing on this particular issue, and once again radio call-in shows are full of discussions about the rights and wrongs of what happened on that day and the continuing fallout.

But there are many unanswered questions that are for all purposes being ignored by most journalists. It seems as if the latest information from the Complaints Board raises more questions than it answers. The problem of the extremely limited powers of the board to compel witnesses or take serious action, raised when Indymedia reported on the establishment of the investigation, has not gone away.
