29 January - Smoke and fire

As stated many times before, anonymous messages are a mixed blessing especially when they ask direct questions. I could perhaps answer the latest one in a simplistic way. Yes I do know who the two people alluded to in a recent blog are and No there was no suggestion that any paedophilia was involved in the CCTV case. It was an unjustified allegation of child neglect rather than abuse and I spent several days writing up a complex case and hours poring over Bexleyְ’s CCTV distribution schematics to prove their case for sacking a CCTV operative was a pack of improbable lies as practically everything was in Bexley a dozen years ago.

Unfortunately the sacked CCTV employee got cold feet, fearing further persecution if the story was published and withdrew permission. The false allegations had nothing to do with the more recent events described in the email below about which I knew nothing until Google intervened. They are sufficiently serious for the names to be blocked while no hard evidence exists. Readers would certainly recognise them.

The sacker of the CCTV operative can be linked to several stupid decisions including one that caused an old lady to die alone but none involved children, that dubious honour must go to Sheila Murphy who was in charge when three year old Rhys was murdered. She appointed a former boss to conduct the Serious Case Review, both with Irish connections (see below), but maybe that is irrelevant. That same boss had been with several Councils before and after Bexley and been the subject of several anonymous messages to BiB, particularly about what went on in Thurrock - none of them complimentary. The same name came up when abuse victims discussed their experiences in Southwark. The suggestion being that at the very least blind eyes were turned. Worrying stuff.

Various stories circulated as to how Ms. Murphy remained in post after OFSTED found Bexleyְ’s Children’s Care Services to be Inadequate on all five measures while all around her minions were losing their jobs; but she stayed in Bexley for 33 years until 2016. The allegation was that she had close friends in all the right places. Eventually she took up a similar position with Sunderland Council which may have been duped into thinking they had made a good decision.

There is however no very obvious link with current long serving members of staff in Bexley as alleged below but if I allowed my imagination to run away with me the unexpurgated email might explain why Deputy Leader Campbell chose to sack a whistleblower when allegations were made of a paedophile working for the Council. He remained in post until charged and convicted in Court. Maybe it would also explain why the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services refused to answer a public question about Sheila Murphy’s relationship with her boss.
Anonymous email

Allegations without evidence are not a lot of use.

I had no idea who the individuals named here are until Google educated me and I assume Hoxing is a typo.

Angela Power Disney. Maybe a divisive character who has her critics but clearly with knowledge of child sexual abuse with Irish connections.
Wilfred Wong from Anglesey. Jailed for kidnap and satanic child abuse.
Sabine McNeill. Jailed for stalking those falsely accused of satanic abuse. A proven fantasist. Maybe there are more.

Over several years there have been three emails from inmates of the former Hobland’s Children’s home in Sidcup and one was published in full three years ago. A Google for ‘sidcup children’s home abuse’ will find a different one, Hollies, which was run by Southwark Council. How many coincidences are we expected to accept?

The story of the sacked CCTV operator is not easily available on BiB at present and all that remains of it is a reference in the footnote of October 2012. The boss who did the sacking is the same one took the Link Line decisions which led to the lonely death of the old lady. Fortunately long gone along with a whole load of managerial incompetents.
