Lest anybody is confused, the lyric listed above is not Chris Wood's song Hollow Point on the same subject. I think the polemic of the lyric quoted above underlines the strength of Wood's far more subtle, measured song, which doesn't point the finger in the same way and carries much more emotional weight as a result. Wood carefully read all the evidence in the official enquiry before writing his song and it shows - the details he includes are accurate. Sir Ian Blair didn't hide behind lies, he was lied to by his own staff about what had happened.
