Serial rapist Carrick receives 36 life sentences. How many more like him remain in the police?

I can’t start this article in a better way than by quoting Women’s Aid Chief Executive Farah Nazeer, discussing the 36 life imprisonment sentences handed down to former Metropolitan Police officer David Carrick.

She

told the BBC that while the jail term was an “acceptable sentence in a very, very unacceptable situation”, she added that it came 17 years, 12 victims and at least 85 offences too late.

At least 85 offences too late!

Here’s a video report on the sentencing:

How was a man like that allowed to become a police officer?

How was it that complaints about him were ignored?

How many more animals like him are currently wearing police uniforms?

How many Met Police officers are currently under investigation? Isn’t it 800, or thereabouts?

How can we be sure more offenders aren’t being ushered into police ranks, to fill the Tory government’s demand for – what is it? – 20,000 more officers?

So how can we believe any high-ranking policeman who claims their service will now change for the better?

Here’s Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley:

Do you believe his protestations that he will change the service he leads?

And here’s Detective Chief Inspector Iain Moor, an officer at Hertfordshire Police, the force which investigated David Carrick, along with Peter Burt, Senior District Crown Prosecutor for CPS Thames and Chiltern, discussing their part in bringing Carrick to justice.

“He can’t harm them [again] or any other woman.” That’s not true, though. The psychological scars stay with the victims forever, blighting their future lives and relationships.

It has always been the duty of police services around the country to ensure that creatures like Carrick are rooted out before they are ever able to use their privileged positions to cause harm and these police services have failed, time and time again.

They cannot give us any guarantees of good future conduct because their record is so shocking that one would hesitate to discuss it.

They certainly may not even request that we continue to put our trust in them. Trust must be earned.

Am I right?

Now we’re being told Jeremy Corbyn has ‘unconscious bias’ against Jews. Or does he?

Jeremy Corbyn is clearly not an enemy of the Jewish people.

Look at the state of this:

Baddiel is saying that, although on the surface Jeremy Corbyn is absolutely not anti-Semitic, he has an unconscious bias against Jewish people.

He has cited the case of the Mear One mural featuring bankers playing Monopoly while sitting on the backs of the poor, saying they all bore caricature “Jewish” facial features. Mr Corbyn defended the artist.

People forget that only (if I recall correctly) two of the bankers featured in the mural (they were all based on real people) were Jewish, so they could not all be representations of the anti-Semitic trope of a Jewish capitalist banking conspiracy. They were simply caricature representations of bankers in general and what the artist considered them to do to the poor.

Mr Corbyn saw that. Baddiel seems to have a blind spot there.

I know it’s just one example, but might it not be more accurate to suggest that it is Baddiel who has the unconscious bias, if he can’t understand that Jeremy Corbyn’s opposition to racism in all its forms is genuine?

Others do:

Mr Corbyn had his faults as a Labour leader, certainly. He didn’t clear the right-wing factionalists out of the party machine to stop them clogging it up, for one thing.

But on anti-Semitism, he acted decisively. He brought in measures that reduced the amount of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party to a lower level than anywhere else in the United Kingdom – even while being hindered by those right-wing factionalists. But this is ignored.

And now his successor, Keir Starmer, is behaving in openly anti-Semitic ways but gets a free pass because (it’s thought) the mainstream media do not see him as the threat to the Establishment that Mr Corbyn was.

So Starmer can kick any number of left-wing Jews out of Labour without being questioned at all:

One has to question, also, why Mr Corbyn and anti-Semitism keep being dragged back into the spotlight. Is this a distraction from the issues facing us now?

So it seems that, rather than there being a hierarchy of racism in Mr Corbyn’s mind, there is a hierarchy of bias instead.

Jeremy Corbyn isn’t biased at all; David Baddiel has an unconscious bias against Corbyn; and the media have a very conscious bias against him. Am I right?

Why are the Tories giving huge anti-protest powers to the organisation that employed David Carrick?

Here’s a very good point:

David Carrick admitted 49 sex crimes including 24 rapes yesterday; he used his status as a Metropolitan Police officer to force his victims into silence.

Wayne Couzens is, of course, the Metropolitan Police officer who raped and murdered Sarah Everard, then burned the body in an attempt to evade detection.

The question is: how can we trust police services that employ such people not to abuse the new powers?

And the answer is: We can’t.

Metropolitan Police officer guilty of dozens of sex crimes is one of a massive 800 being investigated

The Metropolitan Police Service stands ashamed after yet another of its number admitted a multitude of sex crimes, dating back more than a decade.

Here’s the report:

“Bastard Dave” joins other Metropolitan Police officers who have been disgraced over recent years – guilty of 49 sex crimes including 24 rapes.

Other Met officers who have “devastated women’s lives” nclude Wayne Couzens, who kidnapped, raped and murdered Sarah Everard, and burned the body to evade detection; and Francois Olwage, who was found guilty of three child sex offences in April last year.

But it gets worse. According to the BBC,

The Met Police is investigating 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving about 800 of its officers.

Sir Mark Rowley announced all 45,000 Met officers and staff would be rechecked for previously missed offending.

The spokeswoman who faced the press admitted having missed opportunities to identify a pattern of abusive behaviour; one would have thought having the nickname “Bastard Dave” might have been a bit of a clue.

One is led to believe that the Met is actually trolling us; that these prolific sex offenders are flaunting their behaviour.

No wonder so many people call them “the filth”.

Will the ‘Conservative Democratic Organisation’ splinter the Tory party?

Priti Patel and Boris Johnson.

A trio of Boris Johnson’s adherents have launched a new party-within-the-Conservative-Party, apparently to oust Rishi Sunak and put their idol back on top.

The Conservative Democratic Organisation (I fear the “democratic” in the title may be ornamental – like “socialist” in the title of the former National Socialist German Workers’ Party) claims to be seeking to restore influence to members’ views:

It has been launched by David Campbell Bannerman, Lord Peter Cruddas and Priti Patel – all firm supporters of Boris Johnson, for reasons that may be revealed in the video linked below.

Sky’s Sam Coates has published an article about it which he made available on Twitter – and check out the comment here:

What does it all mean?

Well, we presume it means a leadership challenge for Rishi Sunak – either after next May’s local elections if the Tories perform poorly, or in October when his year’s ‘grace’ period after he was crowned Tory leader is over.

And we may speculate on whether it will split the Tories; their party has already been described as a coagulation of five or more different groups, and this new element may drive a wedge between them.

Or it may be a damp squib.

Here’s Phil Moorhouse of A Different Bias with his take on it, which I don’t think I could better:

Warburton in mental hospital with shock after sex and drugs suspension. Why tell us?

Warburton: he’s accused of sexual improprieties and drug abuse – as apparently suggested by this image (although what the white lines really were has yet to be determined).

I wouldn’t want to cast suspicion on a person who has been admitted to hospital, allegedly suffering from stress.

That’s what we’re being told about David Warburton, after he was suspended from the Parliamentary Conservative Party amid a torrent of allegations about inappropriate sexual behaviour and cocaine abuse:

On Sunday, he was admitted to hospital suffering from “severe shock and stress”, according to his wife Harriet, who is also his office manager.

Government whips … have told the MP to stay away from Westminster while the investigation is ongoing, although they have no power to ban him from the parliamentary estate.

But isn’t that exactly what a person accused of such offences might do, if he was trying to curry sympathy?

We mustn’t pre-judge – especially not with Warburton’s Somerton and Frome constituency being a key battleground in next months local government elections, with elections for every seat on the county council.

No, we mustn’t pre-judge.

But we can ask why we were told he’s gone into hospital. He could have simply stepped back from politics until the investigation was completed – whether in hospital or not. Why tell us this?

David Warburton suspended by Tories for alleged sexual harassment and drug use

Photographic evidence? Suspended Tory MP David Warburton is pictured next to what appears to be lines of cocaine. If all is as it seems, he could be in serious trouble.

Did the people of Somerton and Frome elect a sex-crazed drugs beast to be their MP?

Well, we don’t know yet because an investigation has yet to happen.

Here’s what we’re all hearing, though:

David Warburton… is understood to be facing allegations from three women, while a photo has emerged of the MP allegedly sitting alongside lines of cocaine. The picture of Warburton… is said to date from February. It is claimed it was taken at the home of a younger woman who he met through politics.

Accusations from two other women have been handed to the new parliamentary harassment watchdog, the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS). A spokesperson on behalf of the whips’ office said: “David Warburton MP has had the Conservative party whip removed while the investigation is ongoing.”

Warburton, 56, is a married father of two and former businessman. It is alleged … that he asked for the drug to be purchased, before saying the price was “quite good actually”. The woman involved claimed she had been drunk, but began to feel uncomfortable about being alone with the MP as she became less intoxicated. She said that she retreated to her bedroom, but that he climbed into bed with her, naked.

She said she did not ask him to leave or push him away because she was fearful about how he might react. She said she gave repeated warnings that she did not want to have sex with him, but alleged that he ground his body against her and groped her breasts. The woman is said not to have made a complaint to the police or any other authority, saying she wanted to forget about the incident.

The MP has previously condemned the exploitation of young people involved in the drugs trade, including the “intimidation, violence and criminal incentives” involved.

It must be remembered that these are only allegations.

If they turn out to be accurate, though, we may be looking at another by-election to replace a disgraced Tory.

Watch this space.

Backlash against former PM Cameron after social media foodbank post

Russian connection: while we’re panning David Cameron for his shameless exploitation of the food banks whose use exploded under his premiership, let’s remember that he was also a close friend of Vladimir Putin’s Russian government.

The politician most closely associated with the surge in UK foodbank use has actually had the nerve to fanfare his volunteer work in one.

David Cameron’s harsh anti-social policies pushed foodbank use up by 2,612 per cent while he was prime minister.

No wonder people rushed to condemn his ill-advised attempt at self-publicity:

Probably the best put-down was by left-wing journalist Owen Jones.

He tweeted that it was like a ‘serial arsonist joining the local fire brigade’.

Was Keir Starmer told to threaten Labour socialists over Russia-Ukraine by a former TORY MP?

Keir Starmer: Tory puppet?

You may remember that Keir Starmer ordered members of the Labour Party’s Socialist Campaign Group of MPs to withdraw their names from a Stop the War Coalition statement on the Russia-Ukraine crisis that criticised Nato – in the late afternoon of February 24.

It seems that, while the decision to threaten them with the loss of the Labour whip was his, the idea came from former Conservative MP David Gauke – as former Labour MP Chris Williamson has highlighted:

Check the time on it: 3.51pm. Around an hour and a half later, right-wing columnist Dan Hodges tweeted to say that the Labour whips had done exactly as Gauke had suggested:

Confirmation came from LabourList an hour after that:

So it seems Mr Williamson is right and Labour leader Keir Starmer takes orders from Tories. This could devastate Labour’s credibility with voters.

Gauke has tried to distance himself from the revelation – and insulted Mr Williamson in the process by saying Labour was becoming respectable again. The response is scathing:

We are days away from a by-election in Erdington, Birmingham, where Labour has struggled to attract campaigners while the left-wing candidate, Dave Nellist, has enjoyed huge support on the streets.

How will this damning revelation affect public opinion and – more importantly – the vote?

By-election after MP’s murder marred by shadow of Boris Johnson

All by herself: Tory Anna Firth has won the Southend West Parliamentary seat that was left vacant after David Amess was killed. Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party did not contest the seat.

Another Conservative has been voted in as MP for Southend West, after the fatal stabbing of former incumbent David Amess.

The previous MP was fatally stabbed during a constituency surgery on October 15. Ali Harbi Ali, 25, of Kentish Town in London, is to stand trial for his murder next month.

It wasn’t much of a contest. With Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party not contesting the seat because of the way it fell vacant, Anna Firth won with 12,792 votes.

But only 24 per cent of the electorate bothered to turn out for it and the second most popular thing to do with ballot papers was to spoil them with messages of disgust with Boris Johnson.

According to PA Media, one stated: “Boris do a Brexit – get out”, while another said: “Get Boris out”.

But Firth – a Johnson loyalist – said she would not take those messages back to Westminster with her. Instead – in an early display of ignorance – she said she would “focus on local priorities”.

Weren’t those anti-Boris messages a display of local priorities, then? It seems this new Tory is just more of the same – an ignorant rich kid who will ignore anything she doesn’t want to see.
