19 December (Part 1) - Police story unravels
The police allegation against the former Government Chief Whip, Andrew
Mitchell, has begun to unravel and he has said the revelations “shaken my
lifelong support and confidence in the police”. Join the club Andrew; the data provided to me by recent
police letters regarding Bexley council’s obscene blog doesn’t stack up either.
Just a small example…
They reveal that the Metropolitan Police Intelligence Bureau when asked to look for
the blog’s source IP (Internet Protocol) address initially said that “no source could be
identified” but on being given additional information (viz.
a corrected date)
replied positively to Bexleyheath police who reported that “sufficient information was received”.
All of this on or before 23rd October 2011.
A new document in my possession assures me that the investigation has been “expeditious” and
an older one records that the decision to apply for a search warrant for councillor Craske’s Sidcup address
was taken on or about 30th May 2012. One might wonder why it should have taken seven months to
act on an IP address. A strange interpretation of the word expeditious. Probably the “political interference”
will have had something to do with it.
When the police and a politician meet head on it’s a tough call to pick the liar.
In the Mitchell case as my friends know, I said the police were up to no good. I
should have put a bet on it.
