The Home Affairs Committee will publish its report ‘Leadership and Standards in the Police’ on Monday 1 July 2013 at 00.01 (Third Report, Session 2013-14, HC 67-I). I HOPE the committee which represents all the main British political parties, will have taken my evidence – in contrast to what the ‘Police Leaders’ have submitted –…
Stuart Hall may be a monster and the judge may or may not have been lenient with his sentence, but what has the judge’s past private life got to do now with Hall’s imprisonment? Since when was a Gay Sauna a brothel? Since when was there a LINK between Child Sex Attacks, and gay men?…
Two black boys. British. Same generation. Failed by racism. Failed by the Met. 20-years apart. What has changed?
At some point it will fall upon this generation of police leaders to account for the activities of our predecessors. ONLY if caught out tho.
The UK Parliament Home Affairs Committee has now published the written evidence of participants, into its Leadership and Standards in the Police Inquiry. My evidence to the House of Commons is the last submitted, starting at Page 218. I was somewhat surprised having read others including that of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, to read the following…
As the day draws to a close, I finish with these thoughts which The Independent newspaper and Pink News report on my evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee Inquiry into ‘Leadership and Standards in the Police’. If there’s one thing I am guilty of, it is using my democratic rights as a Briton to bring…
Today, I formally submitted my evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee Inquiry into ‘Leadership and Standards in the Police’. I hope my experiences help to make things better for the service, with a View from the Bottom – unlike those at the top of the constabulary, who will have politicians believe all is okay.…
When the Employment Court last year agreed with me that the Metropolitan Police Service had discriminated, harassed and victimised me because of my race and sexuality, the Commissioner promoted one of the main perpetrators from Inspector to Chief Inspector. Recognition for what? Yesterday I learned that this year after the Employment Appeal Court agreed with…
Entrenched attitudes are concealed.
Since my illness with depression because of racism and homophobia, I have always took the position of challenging the Metropolitan Police Service in a court of law and not through the media – as this I thought, was the right and proper thing to do. But, Two Tribunals later with Two Judgments by Two Judges after many…
It’s only been an hour or so since my chat with Victoria Derbyshire on her BBC Radio 5 Live show, and I’m feeling a little strange. I wasn’t nervous, but equally wasn’t looking forward to it – like, I wanted to be there. There was no script either. I guess it’s just that, sometimes you have…
I was speaking with my fried Dan yesterday, when we discussed the leaking of information and the hacking of personal data which are in the spotlight at the moment. I was saying to him that, even though two courts now and two different judges have ruled that the Metropolitan Police leaked my private data to…
On the weekend gone, I received a letter together with a bunch of documents from the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis who is the Data Controller for the Metropolitan Police Service. I actually find it disgusting as well as upsetting that, despite ‘two’ Employment Tribunals I have been through, the Met Police continues to be so nasty…
I just HOPE no more HATE comes out of your senseless death. Don’t let ANY extremists WIN.
