This just in... Apparently, I was 'not invited' to a meeting all residents were invited to attend... Have your say on crime in Barton, Tredworth and White CityI'm going to be having a conversation (recorded or not at all) with Tim Wood of Glo'shire Constabulary in which I'll be asking him if he would have really arrested me and dragged me out of the building (presumably after calling for 'back-up'?) if I'd refused to leave... |

Ah, you've become an enemy of the people, so they can tell any lies about you that they want to.

Well that's odd. I thought that the last comment was the one about the BTNP constitution, but actually there's this one about the police. I was, of course replying to the first, not the second.

It happens to me on Mustardland sometimes, when I respond to something on a thread without realising that it has moved onto a second or third page...
I emailed Timothy Wood yesterday, and got a reply in the afternoon to say that my attendance at the 'Local Priority Group' meeting would be a 'civil matter'* (as, presumably, attendance at last year's AGM would have been), just like that matter of the cheese-making gran reported yesterday as being out of the police's remit.
Consequently, it is clear to me that if the partnership don't want me to attend the next open meeting, the police can't interfere unless I give them an excuse to. It's a civil matter between me and the partnership, and if they insist on their ruling (as they didn't last week), they will have to take me to court, which will suit me down to the ground. Nothing quite as pleasing as seeing someone hoist by their own petard...
*just like Mo Patel's slander.

I haven't met this Tim Wood yet, as far as I can remember, but he's certainly coming across as a right numpty. It would be nice if he could concentrate on things that are there for the police to deal with, such as speeding in the 20mph section of Barton Street. There were at least two crashes on the corner of Barton Street with St. Clement Street on Wednesday night, both of which ended up with cars colliding with a property on Barton Street. Were any of the drivers arrested for drunk driving/ drugged driving/ speeding/ careless driving? Not according to the report in The Citizen. Innocent people could have been killed. The police just don't have their priorities right.

The police and the county council seem very unwilling to clarify who's responsible for enforcing traffic regulation. Otherwise, we'd know who to complain to...

You'd better watch your step. Someone, who I am not yet at liberty to name, claims that the BTNP have had "private" discussions about you and your supposed "criminal activities". Yipes! With the news yesterday that police secretly recorded meetings with Duwayne Brooks and his lawyers, I hope that the partnership and Gloucestershire Constabulary clue me in on these 'criminal activities' some time soon. And if it's at all possible, I could certainly do with the name of that 'someone'... |

It was Paul Harries. I've forwarded his ridiculous emails to you. I think that you now have a right to know what he has been saying, especially as the "criminal activities" were obviously fictitious.

It's staggering stuff. Threatening to take legal action for being compared to a mass murderer, when anyone with a lick of sense knows that 'Stalinist' is a reference to ignoring the views of others and airbrushing them out of the picture the moment it suits. I'm persuaded now that slander is a tough one to prove, as well as expensive, but it would be hilarious if Paul was really serious. Maybe he will stand up at the next partnership meeting and call for severe condemnation, of you and me both, but in my case it would be difficult for them to do that and refuse to have any further communications with me  The next open meeting can't come soon enough. I suppose, on reflection, that they've already had at least one hush-hush committee meeting since the AGM. I'm still pushing to know why I can't see the minutes for these, since Ishmael Mehta stated clearly at the 'crunch' meeting that residents were allowed to do so, and this has never been refuted. |

Just to clear it with you, Kay, after getting a visit from the police a couple of weeks back, for allegedly visiting Paul (or James) Harries' flat on several occasions 'despite' being asked not to (I hadn't visited it even once after receiving the rather testy request, having pointed out how ineffectual he had been on the committee), I put in my own PIN request as 'Paul' made a rather nasty insinuation that he would see to it that I couldn't be involved with another local scheme I'm promoting (which I won't name here as it's the kind of publicity they probably wouldn't appreciate).
I'd like, with your permission, to send the officer nominally dealing with my complaint, Joanna Stevens, the email you sent me, so that she can see that 'Paul' has also been doing exactly the thing* the partnership has accused me of doing, revealing information that should go no further than committee members to non committee members. The difference being that the police probably still won't regard this behaviour as amounting to a 'course' of harassment, whereas they'll accept anything the committee tells them, however unsupported by facts.
Still, they won't be able to say they weren't told...
*and not just Paul, but Pat Hurley and others.

Oh, please do. The more people see Paul's absurd claims and threats, the better.

Cheers, Kay.
The more I think about (and I do, for my sins), the more I wonder how Mr Harries (and you know how up their arses people have become when they drop the 'Joe' they've been using for years and start to refer to you as 'Mr Kilker' when speaking to third parties) could even recall anything unpleasant about my brief visits, with his terrible memory.
More likely, he took offence at my emailed home truths about his lack of effectiveness on the committee, but even the police couldn't frame that as harassment. So, 'Did he visit your flat?' 'Yes.' 'Did you ask him not to?' 'Yes!' Ergo, I must have visited against his wishes, rather than before the request.
It's going to be very interesting if he recalls any specific details about my last visit, but enough about that. Let's see how it plays out...

There's a nice article on the Citizen's website today about a police officer in Churchdown threatening an amateur photographer. They aren't allowing comments, presumably to protect the guilty.

I'm sure it's a minority, Kay, but too many just don't seem to know the laws they're supposed to enforce/uphold. And Gloucester just seems to get the dregs from other forces...
