The family of Ian Tomlinson were told by a senior investigator he may have been assaulted by a police impersonator shortly before he collapsed and died, it was revealed today.

The suggestion by the City of London Police was made after video evidence showed the newspaper vendor being attacked with a baton and pushed to the ground by an officer in riot gear.

According to an officer investigating the 47-year-old's death he could have clashed with a protester "dressed in police uniform" before he collapsed at the G20 demonstrations on 1 April.

Equally he could have clashed with a man from Mars cunningly disguised as a police officer ~ the "Could Haves" are endless but very very unlikely.


We have come a long way from George Dixon (Of Dock Green) and I for one don't like it.
