Peer challenges Hogan-Howe over secret dossier
THE head of the Metropolitan Police was confronted live on radio yesterday by Green peer Jenny Jones over why spooks’ records on her were destroyed.
Ms Jones rang in to Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe’s weekly phone-in on LBC radio to demand answers over the cover-up of the documents.
The Green peer has obtained some of the records kept by the domestic extremism unit between 2002 and 2012 on her, which largely contained inane observations on her participation in protests or public statements.
