Give medal to hero cop

THE Sun is campaigning for murdered cop Stephen Oake to be awarded the George Cross medal for bravery.
The hero detective was stabbed to death when he protected colleagues from a vicious al-Qaeda terrorist.
But officers have been left “sickened” after DC Oake’s actions were considered not enough by the Government to earn the George Cross.
Now the Sun is asking readers to sign up to our online petition by clicking on the link below.
The petition will then be forwarded to Downing Street to pressure Prime Minister Tony Blair to award the medal to the brave detective.

Father-of-three DC Oake died aged 40 from multiple stab wounds in January 2003.
He was attacked by Algerian Kamel Bourgass as he went to the aid of other officers raiding the flat of terror suspects in Manchester.
Sgt Paul Kelly, of Greater Manchester Police Federation, said denying the medal to DC Oake was "an insult" to Stephen, his family and every police officer.
He added: "He intervened — unarmed and wearing no protective equipment. Officers stated on oath he saved their lives.
"To deem these actions as not worthy of a gallantry award is indefensible."
The George Cross is the highest civilian award for gallantry. We urge Tony Blair to award it to DC Oake.
