Britain fought to end fascism…
by Kevin Maxwell •
PLEASE, let’s not stop now. I am ashamed and surprised, at the amount of racism by some on Facebook (and other social media). As someone who was a counter terrorism detective until last year, I have never/will never condone terrorism. But equally, I have never/will never condone racism. HATE breeds hate. We don’t know the…

A High Profile Judgment!?
by Kevin Maxwell •
Worryingly yesterday, I became aware that the Commissioner has no intention of bringing to an end the dispute between him and I even after the recent Employment Appeal Court judgment with regards to my complaints of discrimination, harassment, victimisation and leaking about me at Scotland Yard. It appears he is finding the judgment hard to accept. This is despite…

Mr Cameron, immigration damages Britain
by Kevin Maxwell •
In 2001, I wrote an article for Operation Black Vote (The Home of Black Politics) about Immigration: good for multicultural Britain. This was following a speech by the Prime Minister David Cameron, claiming that the country has seriously been damaged by an influx of migrants, many who are from ethnic minority communities. This speech, together with…

Say NO to the press barons’ charter
by Kevin Maxwell •
In an attempt to wreck the Royal Charter on the press agreed by all parties in Parliament in March (based on the Leveson Inquiry recommendations and backed by the victims of press abuse) the press barons have put forward a rival draft charter. Naturally their version, known as the PressBoF Charter, would severely limit the…

Metropolitan Police Leadership
by Kevin Maxwell •
It has always been my view that leadership within Britain’s biggest police force is top down NOT bottom up, especially, when it comes to diversity. This is why, I hold the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe and the Mayor of London Boris Johnson personally responsible for my discriminatory treatment and that of others…

Leadership & Standards in the Police Inquiry
by Kevin Maxwell •
Today, I received communication from my local MP and Shadow Attorney General Emily Thornberry that I have been invited to give evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee Leadership and Standards in the Police Inquiry with regards to my negative and detrimental experiences within the service due to my race and sexuality as a Detective with…

Why Challenging Wrongdoing Is Important
by Kevin Maxwell •
The past week or so, I’ve been thinking about why I did what I did and continue to do in challenging discrimination within the Metropolitan Police. More so, because I still await the judgment of the Employment Appeal Court. People too only recently have asked me what I want/hope to achieve and includes former colleagues…

Lee Jasper has a point… about Stonewall!
by Kevin Maxwell •
Love him or hate him, he speaks a lot of sense. Earlier today, I read an article about Stonewall (a charity which apparently works for equality and justice within the lesbian, gay and bisexual community) Equality Dinner 2013 at The Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane, Mayfair, London. Accompanying was a photograph of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard…

Tesco… You Shop, We Drop… Literally!
by Kevin Maxwell •
You can’t make these things up. This morning, I received an email from SumOfUs.org – a world-wide movement of people, working together to hold corporations accountable for their actions and forge a new, sustainable path for our global economy. Apparently, Tesco is forcing its warehouse workers and drivers to wear electronic armbands that can monitor how hard they’re working.…
