Press ‘out of tune’ with Lady T Social Media?
by Kevin Maxwell •
As Britain woke up this morning to the news of the death of Margaret Thatcher (the country’s first female Prime Minister), I made my view known in that… “if you’ve got nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all”! However, as the day has developed it is clear just how much the Press in…

Grindr Findr… & All That Jazz!?
by Kevin Maxwell •
Today, a friend posted an article about Labour’s Chuka Umunna MP and comments he made around 2006 on a social networking site for ‘wealthy’ people. Since I started blogging, I have often been critical of the Coalition Government (the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) and indeed Labour. None of the parties are perfect, hence the reason I’m a member of none.…

The Andrew Mitchell Affair
by Kevin Maxwell •
It seems that even on Easter Sunday, there really is no rest for the wicked. Today, I learned that the former British Government Cabinet Minister has complained to the Independent Police Complaints Commission about the Metropolitan Police leaking information about him and his case to the press. There are many similar parallels between the former…

I sort of blame myself…
by Kevin Maxwell •
Anyone who knows me or reads my blog, will know that I’m quite open about my thoughts and feelings. Not that I set out on this path, but when The Sun newspaper tried to threaten me to stop my challenge against the Metropolitan Police or else – things changed for me, never being allowed to go…

Deborah Glass of the IPCC & Me…
by Kevin Maxwell •
Today, I came across a letter to The Times newspaper dated 12 March from Deborah Glass of the Independent Police Complaints Commission concerning the paper’s coverage of the IPCC’s arrest of a former senior police officer (7 March leader, 12 March ‘Detectives looking at …’). If nothing else, her letter is disingenuous whilst laughable. She…

If There’s Any Justice… In The World!
by Kevin Maxwell •
I’m not Lemar, but this is what I’ve learned about justice… This time next week, I attend yet another court hearing in My Fight for Justice against discrimination within the Metropolitan Police Service. Something which, the Commissioner denies. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t angry that, I am having to go through…

The Chris Huhne Affair
by Kevin Maxwell •
I’m no lover of the Liberal Democrats, but The Chris Huhne Affair has left me feeling uncomfortable. Most agree the former Environment Secretary made an awful judgment by swapping his driving points with his wife at the time, and is now serving a sentence for it. What I don’t like though, is all the worms…

Fair Game, losing everything?
by Kevin Maxwell •
I wrote a tweet on Tuesday, saying how much I missed My Mum. This was because, on this day and the following I couldn’t stop myself from crying. The last time I can remember being so inconsolable, was when I was diagnosed with depression due to discrimination within the police back in 2009. And, as…

A Broken Shame
by Kevin Maxwell •
I read last week that Stuart Lawrence the brother of the murdered London teenager Stephen who died in 1993, has made a complaint of racism against the Metropolitan Police. Sadly, it wasn’t the racism that stood out to me but that it took him to speak of his experiences in a national newspaper – for…
