Who is paying for all this?

[Mailman]

The Met lied about him jumping barriers and the like, blanked the security tape, and lied again.

I think that should be investigated.

I believe that is more a media spun story than a case of the met lieing outright.

Yes, one should never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Accidentally shaking a large case full of videotapes infront of a very large and powerful magnet is just one of the ceremonies in the masons. Putting the "For destruction" sticker on instead of the "Evidence" tag must also be perceived as a coincidence.

Reminds me of the story about the master tape for Erasure's album.

I've spent significant time in some parts of Brazil and having seen more than my share of dodgy wiring jobs there (bare wires hanging out of the shower head anybody?) his skills would have been viable there.

I once went to Greece and there was a bare wire poking out of the ceiling. My solution to this is to shoot all Greek electricians in the head several times.
