Met police chief Sir Bernard Hogan Howe again refused to apologised for the failed sex abuse investigation into army veteran Lord Brammall, claiming today that there is 'nothing to apologise for'.
His repeated refusal to say sorry for his police force's heavy-handed way it raided the home of Lord Brammall enraged MPs as he faced questions over the Met's handling of the investigation into VIP historical child abuse.
He faced accusations of inconsistency after he apologised to the widow of Lord Brittan earlier this month over the Met's failure to inform her that her late husband had been cleared of a rape allegation.
Sir Bernard faced an angry grilling by MPs in Parliament today, who demanded to know why he had apolgised to Lady Brittan but not Lord Brammall.
The police probes into historical abuse claims against high-profile figures were branded 'witch-hunts' last week after several high-profile scandals, including the handling of an investigation into the innocent Lord Bramall.
The D-Day veteran, 92, was accused of historical sex abuse and had his home raided by 22 officers in front of his dying wife.
The detectives spent ten hours rifling through his possessions as his wife, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, was 'shunted' from room to room. He spent ten months under investigation, during which time his wife died, before police admitted they had no evidence against him.

It came as it emerged that Sir Bernard is to sit down with Lord Brittan's widow this week to discuss Scotland Yard's shambolic handling of the VIP paedophile scandal.
The Met commissioner will talk with Lady Brittan about the rape allegation made against her late husband, who like Lord Bramall was investigated on the word of a suspected 'serial fantasist' known only as Nick.
Lord Brittan, the former home secretary, died in 2015 still unaware that he had been cleared of the accusation - despite police knowing that he was innocent for two months.
Britain's most senior police officer will explain the circumstances of the investigation to Lady Brittan.
He is expected to apologise for the probe - but is not thought to be willing to do the same for unfounded allegations of child abuse aimed at Lord Brittan.
Nick claimed he had been sexually assaulted by a paedophile ring that included Brittan, Bramall, the former prime minister Sir Edward Heath, the former Tory MP Harvey Proctor and past heads of MI5 and MI6.

Money grow on the trees for Pentagon?

Money grow on the trees for Pentagon?


US spends a lion's share of it's annual budget upon Pentagon needs -
it's 42% of the whole. The sum is, believe it or not, around $ 650 billion. And all this at the time when the Cold War is over and there is no real military threat looming over the country. The USA's closest rival in the expenditure, China, allocates only around 7 % of it's budget into the issue. Still the Obama administration doesn't consider cutting the military expenses, sacrificing jobs and some social benefits for the citizens instead. What's wrong with limiting the military? James Carafano of the Heritage Foundation and Lawrence Korb from the Center for American Progress are discussing the issue in RT's studio.
