I’ve said much this week about the acquittal of Sgt Martyn Blake and the travesty that Chris Kaba’s violent gang have put a £10,000 bounty on his head.You all know the story by now – after two agonising years, Sgt Blake was finally acquitted on the trumped up charge of murder which was brought for purely political reasons by the CPS and the IOPC who were terrified of the backlash from the black community if they didn’t.
