It can, no doubt, be argued that human error is a more likely explanation for the many inaccuracies and contradictions that have come to light, than that of a massive state “cover up”. One which would require the continuing silence of numerous eye witnesses, and the cooperation, amongst others, of the emergency services, the media and sections of the judiciary?

Nonetheless, it appears "prima facie”, that this is what has happened, that Parliament, the British people and the world have been lied to at the highest level.

A police state is a state with authority which uses the police, especially secret police, to maintain and enforce political power, even through violent or arbitrary means if necessary. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism or other harsh means of social control. In a police state the police are not subject to the rule of law in an emergency and there is no meaningful distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.

The government with the police force does not describe itself as a "police state". Instead, it is a description assigned to a regime by internal or external critics in response to the laws, policies and actions of that regime, and is often used pejoratively to describe the regime's stance on human rights, the social contract and similar matters.
