18 December (Part 1) - You’re under arrest! Well not quite
The following is not the original blog but an announcement placed here in February 2025
as part of the long term project to progressively restore old blogs.
A dishonest statement made by a Conservative Councillor in December 2017 persuaded
Kent Police to charge me with harassment for a series of supportive blogs. (The Councillor’s solicitor accepted that they were
supportive). Further blogs revealed that the same Councillor had been involved
in a High Court libel case. BiB was supported by a libel lawyer, a
media lawyer and the MP for Erith and Thamesmead.
Among many dishonest statements to Kent Police was that I invented the ‘Guilty’
verdict recorded on Bexley Council’s website and that the verdict was in fact
‘Not Guilty’. An outright lie! As if that was not sufficiently obvious from the
evidence the Statement went on to say that Bexley’s decision was being
considered for Judicial Review. Found ’Not Guilty’ but challenging the verdict in Court! A clear contradiction of one statement by another.
Sergeant Robbie Cooke based in Swanley ignored the obvious inconsistencies and without reference
to the CPS decided my support for the Councillor was Harassment and the entirely
factual reporting of the High Court Libel case merely exacerbated it.
Naturally the CPS dropped the case when the papers reached them.
