True heroes

-

The armed police who shot the three London terrorists have been referred to the Independen­t Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

rather than wasting valuable resources on the nonsense of investigat­ing the conduct of these heroic firearms officers, the IPCC should mark the file ‘No need for further investigat­ion, everyone knows what happened’, thereby saving the police this affront to their bravery and dignity. GERALD SILLERY, Bangor, Co. Down. SUB- CLAUSeS in the human rights Act 1998 allow the Government to circumnavi­gate it in pursuit of criminals. These give immunity to government bodies, including the police and the security services, if the matter can be shown to be in the national interest, such as an investigat­ion of serious criminalit­y and threats to national security.

Any problems arise from the interpreta­tion of the law by Leftleanin­g judiciary, not the law itself. PAUL CHARLES COOK,

Huddersfie­ld, W. Yorks.
