New Ian Tomlinson Pictures

New pictures at the Guardian show that Ian Tomlinson had prior contact with the police even before the video footage where he was attacked and then pushed from behind by a police officer.

Here we see a policeman giving Tomlinson a friendly tap. Tomlinson was on his way home when these officers refused to allow him through and he was forced to find an alternative way round.


Remember the police line was that Tomlinson died without any contact with the police. That looks less than true.

The police insisted Ian died of natural causes. That's a very confident statement to make in the light of the evidence.

The police said there were no CCTVs in the area. That turned out to be, if you'll forgive the pun, a porky.

What will the police say next do you think?
