IN England and Wales A-level and GCSE examination results showed their usual annual improvement amidst the usual annual controversy over whether the exams were easier or the pupils brighter; Rachel Grandy, from a Middlesbrough comprehensive school, achieved 15 A-stars and two Agrades; results from the controversial City Academies were mixed. Confusion continued over what had actually happened when the police shot dead the Brazilian student Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell undergrond station on July 22. However, Home Secretary Charles Clarke said, “I am very happy with the conduct not only of Sir Ian Blair, but the whole Metropolitan Police in relation to this inquiry”. Mr Tony Blair sent a similar message of support from Barbados where he had been discovered on holiday.
