It's not a montage in the Haringey video, although it does include more shots of MNers than most, which is good to see - we are real people! :) It does appear to be the same otherwise as the previous published article.
I think the worst that keeping any cover-up conspiracy story going does, is it potentially prevents other victims and witnesses from coming forward.
In my experience, if a victim or witness is led to believe up front that their tragedy won't be heard or investigated, or may even turn around on themselves, they won't want to come forward and will want to protect themselves and their privacy first.
Any witness statement can be the one to provide a necessary link between serial offences and offenders.
If you focus energy on spreading and supporting cover-up theories at any level, less and less of those desperately-needed pieces of evidence will be forthcoming, due to the concern imprinted on the public that any reports will fall on deaf ears, will make themselves look bad, or will become part of some theoretical cover-up.
Unfortunately, any past emergence of smaller cover-up issues or ranks having closed previously on someone in high position adds to public paranoia, which is possibly the reason why as many high-profile examples are being made to see justice today, as quickly as possible.
The focus of media coverage and policy should be on supporting victims and their families - not on feeding conspiracy stories.
If anything, the culture itself of the conspiracy theory/cover-up does more harm in preventing crime being reported than good. At any level - from assault in a nightclub to the csa scandal.
When I was in security I had to counsel victims regularly who were reluctant to give statements due to their preconceptions about policing and justice, and all issues were seen through, if they were reported by the victims and witnesses - right up to supporting them by giving my own statements to police, and being witness in court for them, in some cases.
