Even if you are innocent, when blokes with guns start shouting with you, best make no sudden moves and act as submissively as possible. Unfortunately Mr Menezes had no such opportunity.

It's a national health service, not INTERNATIONAL. For those who pay into it.
The NHS urgently need to reign itself in or collapse in the face of infinite demand.
Got a problem, shouldn't be here? return home and seek help.
Your country won't help? go into politics or lobby, at home.
Pax Brittanica was a long time ago.
