20 November (Part 2) - A little about not a lot
In a waiting period, waiting for the results of Bexley council’s budget
consultation, waiting to see their latest excuses for
councillor Cheryl Bacon’s
false allegations against five members of the public, waiting for the Crown
Prosecution Service to provide information on “Regina v Craske” promised last February, there is
nothing very significant to report.
The best I can do is mention that Mr. Barnbrook is to meet Bexley’s Head of
Legal Services about the numerous lies the council has been telling about the
Public Realm meeting on 19th June tomorrow.
We know that councillors on both sides of the political divide are prepared to confirm that
what Cheryl
was alleged to have said (her statement was unsigned and may have been made up by someone in the legal department)
was almost totally untrue and we know that Mick Barnbrook is a man unafraid to
report politicians to the police. I think we can
assume that if Mr. Alabi does not accept that Cheryl Bacon lied and that his
department attributed words to a councillor and an employee which they have no
recollection of saying, he, and I for that matter, will very soon be penning our
complaints to Scotland Yard and the names on the list of those accused of
Misconduct in Public Office will increase by two. Mr. Alabi and the Independent
Member of the Standards Board. Maybe the latter will then think their £2,200 a year allowance is not so generous after all.
Maybe
I can also mention my Subject Access Request to the police. It began life
in the first week of June and the legal requirement is to provide an answer within 40 calendar days which expired in July.
Three weeks ago I received a letter to say I would have the police’s response within
two weeks and a couple of days ago another to say they are still working on it and the deadline will be missed.
In my entire life I have had dealings with the police three times. Twenty years
ago when a Bexley officer beat me up after being given false information about me. I
received two home visits and a full apology from the borough commander but the
rogue officer went unpunished. Then there was the
harassment warning
concocted at the request of Bexley council leader Teresa O’Neill. The Independent Police Complaints
Commission declared it had no validity but again no police officer was punished for gross abuse of power.
And finally there was
the Craske affair.
It doesn’t seem very likely that my criminal record is sufficiently extensive to justify nearly five
months of effort to trace it all so I can only conclude there is a shortage of black marker pens
with which to redact all the evidence against the criminals within Bexley council.
Note: Most readers will know that the ‘flaming torches’ comment
(see image above) came from Hugh Neal’s
Maggot Sandwich blog
and he was not criticised for it. Council leader O’Neill had only one vindictive thought in mind when she called in favours from
Bexley police. Stamping on critics who might go on to expose the secret service which she tightly controls.
