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. Threatening to take legal action... Slander is a tough one to prove, Libel isn't. Expensive to defend too Maybe they thought you were a Troll? |

I would love to believe that in general, police are as upstanding as a lot of people still seem to believe, but my personal experience, with scant exception, has been that they are all pretty bad apples, incompetent if not downright bent. I've started a hashtag on Twitter, #corruptcopsuk, to invite other tweeters to name officers they've had trouble with. I think this will be the year, what with the Hillsborough enquiry and everything else, that we take out the trash... Read more: trollhunterx.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=6&page=1#ixzz2JjkkBx3lAnd ten years later, we're still trying to 'take out the trash'. Personal experience would suggest that the Gloucestershire constabulary are at least close to being as bad as the Met police. I'm not entirely sure I clarified sufficiently the situation with the handcuffs (I've just read through this entire thread, but I've started writing this post, and am not prepared to go back and check, so maybe this clarification will help. While the meeting was adjourned, and there seemed no imminent risk of arrest, I stood up, walked the couple of paces to the committee's desk, and took out my phone, to take a picture of the crumpled and ripped financial document. Immediately, the police, who had been chatting to the chairman, made a beeline towards me. It seemed like they took my standing as their cue to escort me out, and I didn't resist that. But then I felt my arms being seized, and handcuffs being applied. I immediately held my arms away from my body, to prevent this, whereupon I was born [borne?] to the ground, with a knee placed on my back. I couldn't do anything but protest vocally, whereupon one of the officers banged by head on the hard floor at least three times. I was still able to keep my arms locked, preventing the handcuffing, so they put two cuffs together. They claimed afterwards that this was for my benefit, rather than their convenience, but the fact that they put one cuff on much too tightly, and didn't loosed it until well after we reached the custody suite, suggests otherwise. The local resolution outcome (we no longer have the option, since about 2012, to request an outside force to investigate), which arrived some months later, was a whitewash. Witnesses can be notoriously hazy about the facts, but the 'striding across the room, arms swinging wildly' was complete fiction, as I wasn't able to take a single step, and my arms had already. been seized. |

Hopefully, this will work. Note that as I was wrongfully arrested, over a matter which the chairman should have dealt with, this is going to make for interesting times in the run-up to the local elections... Mr 'Show's over' is PC 2142, Phil Hopkins, who, as well as 'arresting' me without reading me my rights, then banged my head on the floor three or four times, before standing on my arm as I was pinned to the floor. Sorry about the angle. This video was removed for violating YouTube terms and conditions |
