00:00Yet, despite our repeated calls, we have been denied the one thing that can provide us real
00:07answers – a full public inquiry.
00:12We know that there were serious failings both with Essex Police and the Prevent programme.
00:18We know that opportunities were missed.
00:21We know that the system designed to protect people like David let him down.
00:27And still, we are being told that a patchwork of paper reviews into what happened is enough.
00:34It is not.
00:36To pour salt onto the wound, Yvette Cooper has now written us a totally unacceptable
00:43and quite frankly insulting letter confirming that the government will not be holding an
00:49inquiry and that the investigations to date should satisfy us.
00:55Well, I can tell her that they most certainly don't.
00:59On Wednesday, my daughter Katie and I will meet with the Prime Minister at his request
01:03with our advisers to make one simple demand – a full public inquiry into David's murder.
