A Criminal Enterprise.
Jersey’s Public Authorities – Exposed.
Read the latest damning revelations here:
http://ricosorda.blogspot.com/2012/01/matt-tapp-files-8-october-8th-hubris.html
Local independent journalist Rico Sorda continues, at the link above, his apocalyptic exposé of how Jersey’s corrupt mafia regime sabotaged the child abuse investigations and corruptly and criminally suspended an honest Police Chief.
In his article, Mr. Sorda says this:
“Between September 2008 and November 12th 2008 …….some of the Islands most senior figures were up to things that I don't even know are legal.”
Let me use my experience of Jersey’s public authorities to answer Mr. Sorda’s uncertainty.
The actions of the island’s most senior figures were not legal.
And I’m not referring merely to their actions being ultra vires, in some civil sense.
The actions of senior figures such as Bill Ogley, Frank Walker, William Bailhache, David Warcup, Andrew Lewis – and the rest of them – were criminal.
The actions of these people differ in no qualitative way from the actions of a set of gangsters, running various syndicates and protection-rackets.
And as they and their ilk are what has hitherto passed as “the law” in Jersey – then plainly the rule of law has collapsed in this Crown Dependency.
Certain inevitabilities flow – inescapably.
And as we await the arrival of the rule of law in Jersey, let us reflect upon just a few of the words of Graham Power, Queens Police Medal, from his latest statement – which should be read in full on Rico Sorda’s blog.
Stuart.
Quotes from a Statement by Graham Power, QPM; the full text and accompanying article can be read here:
http://ricosorda.blogspot.com/2012/01/matt-tapp-files-8-october-8th-hubris.html
“We know from the review and report by Brian Napier QC and other documents that the Minister never saw a Review report from the Metropolitan Police (although I understand that some States Members at the time believe that he may have indicated otherwise.) What the Minister saw was a letter from the then Deputy Chief Officer, David Warcup, which purported to summarise what the Met had to say. This exchange is well described in the Napier report and interested parties should read it in full. In brief Napier found that Mr Warcup's letter did not accurately reflect the content of the Review by the Met and in particular he did not convey to the Minister the caveats and reservations in the report which, according to the advice of the Solicitor General, would have rendered it unusable for suspension purposes. It is now clear from the Napier report and from other revelations that, contrary to whatever impression the former Minister may have given at the time, the only relevant document which he appeared to have seen when he implemented my suspension was the letter from Mr Warcup and the incomplete and selective summary of the Met Review which it contained. The day after Mr Warcup submitted his letter to the Minister he was promoted to Acting Chief Officer with a significant increase in salary and pension. A few days before the publication of the Napier report he resigned.”
And -
“Finally, there is one additional point which may be of value to those interested in the case. The Chief Officer of the Islands Police is not an employee of the States. He is in the words of the Islands Attorney General an "Officer of the Crown" who is sworn by the Royal Court to "Serve the Queen." The means by which the postholder can be suspended or removed are prescribed by law. It is not an employment process but a legal process which is subject to review by the Courts. The legal and constitutional implications of such an act are significant. If such a process was implemented or supported on the basis of evidence which was fabricated, amended, mis-represented or falsified in any way, or if any relevant evidence was wilfully destroyed, that would be a grave matter and ought to have significant implications for those involved.”

So, if I am connecting the dots correctly, the entire media and government effort to discredit Lenny Harper and Graham Power was created out of nothing but the paid spin of a UK media manipulator secretly hired by a devious politician and a head of Civil Service to undo the investigation into decades of horrific state sponsored and concealed child abuse.
All the damning forensic criminal evidence was then concealed or destroyed, including teeth, bones, concrete bath, possible torture restraints, and everything else of importance. The cellars of crime scenes became "voids" as the charred bones of children were dismissed and forgotten, and the minister with the temerity to criticize those responsible for the safety of children in care was sacked, threatened, harassed, raided, arrested, stolen from, fined and corruptly tried and imprisoned.
The local media desperately avoided all question of a cover up, seemingly opposed to any open examination of the issue, even refusing to address facts contained in available reports and vetted evidence sent to them. Jersey media instead chose to obsessively prattle on - for years - about a possible but never tested coconut fragment, and despite shocking evidence of decades of state sponsored pedophilia simply spun the weight of all the child abuse and possible murder into an artificial scandal about a pricey meal at an Indian restaurant.
And finally, we are right back to where we were with Haut de la Garenne, not knowing what really happened there to many of those children, despite all the original professional investigative effort and huge international media interest.
Message to Jersey: This is a big deal. It should be a very big deal to key BBC execs as well.

THE COMPLAINT TO THE BBC I SENT THIS MORNING
YOUR COMPLAINT:
Complaint Summary: The political crisis in Jersey over HDLG cover up
Full Complaint: There is a monumental political crisis in Jersey over the Haut de la Garenne child abuse cover up, yet the BBC appear to be trying to ignore it. The BBC forces me to pay for a television licence every year, wether I watch BBC programmes or otherwise, and I think it is pretty reasonable to expect that the BBC fulfils its legal obligation to broadcast impartial, accurate, and fair and balanced reporting, something which it is failing to achieve as long as it ignores such a massive news story.
BBC COMPLAINTS FORM
Yes.
That is an entirely accurate and correct description of what has happened.
And you are also right when you say it is a very "big deal" - not least for senior BBC executives - the trustees and director general even.
This is a case of collective criminal conduct by a set of public authorities - of exactly the same kind that BBC reporters take serious risks to expose in various gangster jurisdictions around the world.
The conduct of Jersey's oligarchy is now exposed - the evidence has been sought-out - and published - by amateurs, bloggers - whilst the BBC remained silent. But remaining silent is not a "neutral act".
To remain silent is to collude - to assist the criminals.
That is what the BBC has done - THE BBC.
Supported a gangster-regime that conceals crimes, oppresses honest police officers, harasses and crushes opposition politicians, abuses a politicised prosecution and judicial system to engaged in show-trials and jails people for blogging - right on the UK's doorstep.
Those British servicemen and women - who lose limbs and fall - in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, make those dreadful sacrifices for the cause of democracy, free speech, the rule of law.
The British authorities in Whitehall have so little regard for those principles, they tolerate and protect a corrupt and repressive regime in the English Channel.
A place in which the Chief of Police and the Social Services Minister cannot protect vulnerable children, without being repressed and having their careers destroyed.
THE BBC has been a part of that corruption.
Stuart
Just looking at who is in charge of the BBC, and I see Jeremy Hunt MP is on the board.
His name is Jeremy HUNT
He is the man who is on an anti piracy crusade.
Jeremy Hunt urges web firms to join anti piracy drive
Due to this evidence is it possible if they wanted that Mr Power & Mr Harper could sue Jersey for Libel/Deformation or whatever legal route they may have?
So who is to blame for the misinformation that suspended M. Power,Tapp or Gradwell or a combination of the both?
Reading Mr. Powers statement it would appear that Napier had already explained that the information was misleading,so why wasn't something done about it at the time. It seems to me that the revelations of the last two days which have taken many months to arrive at are only confirming Napier.
Nothing will be done unless someone is sued, or charged with a criminal offence.
Who makes the complaint,and to whom?
Is there a time line available to help find our way through this maze of reports and alleged reports etc.
exJHB
Stuart - apropos the comment about defamation of character, and legal actions, I have put a posting on Rico's blog as I feel perverting the course of justice could apply in several instances as well.
You are the man with a legal brain. What do you think?
The point GP made about the correct legal procedure for the removal of a 'crown appointment' is a facinating one. How power crazed and over zealous must Frank Walker and Bill Ogley have been to persist with a politically motivated suspension when they knew it was not within their gift to do so?
There is no other way to describe it. It is lawless.
Stuart.
How can the BBC not report any of this, as well as Graham Power's statement to Wiltshire, and expect not be accused of complicity?
As for the Tapp Report, if it was commissioned by the States of Jersey then doesn't that mean it would have had to have been passed by the States as a whole? How could Walker and Ogley (if they did) do this without getting it agreed by the States?
Who's budget did Tapp's payment come from? Did the Treasury Minister sign it off? How much was he paid? Will Ian Le Marquand be offering his resignation any time soon. Will Operation Rectangle now be re-opened? Will Lenny Harper and Graham Power commence legal/civil action against the States and others? Will London now step in and restore the rule of law in Jersey? Why does it take a Blogger (member of the public) to expose this stuff when it should be done by an "independent, impartial and objective accredited media?"
There is a monumental political crisis in Jersey over the Haut de la Garenne child abuse cover up,the removal from office of our Chief of Police and a politician being hounded from office yet the BBC Jersey appear to be trying to ignore it and mislead the public. To find the truth we must look to the local bloggers who have done some brilliant investigative journalism and uncovered a hornets nest of lies, spin and utter corruption that reaches deep into the heart of our government. I thought the BBC prided itself and was supposed to be a shining beacon to the rest of the world. I know that complaints have been made, why have they been ignored? I think it is reasonable to expect that the BBC fulfils its legal obligation to broadcast impartial, accurate, and fair and balanced reporting, something which it is failing to achieve as long as it ignores such a massive news stories. The BBC forces me to pay for a television licence every year and I would like this refunded.
A reader say:
"Nothing will be done unless someone is sued, or charged with a criminal offence.
Who makes the complaint,and to whom?"
Any number of people are well-placed to make formal criminal complaints. Just for example, many of the abuse survivors. The illegal action against Police Chief Graham Power was a criminal act, of which the survivors are victims.
But, to answer the question, I have, in fact, already in recent day, made a detailed formal criminal complaint to the SOJP.
We shall see how they respond.
Stuart
all these high earning legal advisers and spin doctors are no match against a pipe fitter

eat your words Shenton
Shenton....
Yes.
He's in big trouble.
Le Marqaund's position is desperate.
How much worse a former Health & Social Services Minister - who helps to attack child abuse investigations?
Stuart
Did Shenton write a statement for the wiltshire investigation?
Greetings Stuart, I heard you were doing government work at a secret location in the country....
I hope you had a nice rest.
Stuart.
The honourable David Warcup......in the words of Graham Power QPM.
"the only relevant document which he appeared to have seen when he implemented my suspension was the letter from Mr Warcup and the incomplete and selective summary of the Met Review which it contained. The day after Mr Warcup submitted his letter to the Minister he was promoted to Acting Chief Officer with a significant increase in salary and pension. A few days before the publication of the Napier report he resigned.”
When Bill Ogley said to a packed room full of civil service departmental chief officers "If you want to get to (ML) you will have to come through me first" he was actually only talking to one person. Graham Power.
It was a direct threat and designed to be a show of political and judicial strength that implied he and othes close to him, were above the law.
Ogley knew the only person in the room that would have 'professional' issues with it would be the man whose sworn duty was to enforce the law of the land on behalf of the Queen of England. Graham Power QPM.
Ogley singled out Power. He let him know where the real power in Jersey resided.
They had already set the wheels in motion for his dismissal and discussion would have centerd on how best and how quickly the whole sordid mess could be hidden from public view.
Warcup, Gradwell and Tapp were guns for hire.
It is not surprising that none of them, and Bill Ogley included, actually live here anymore.
They took the money and ran.
Cowards. The lot of them.
Does Frank Walker still live in Jersey? Or is his gin palace conveniently bobbing about somewhere in the med?
Some credit to the JEP forum for eventually publishing my comment! (the day after, long after comments appeared that were made after mine)
I bet that took some careful discussion with the high-ups :)
A reader says:
"Does Frank Walker still live in Jersey? Or is his gin palace conveniently bobbing about somewhere in the med?"
The UK has extradition treaties with most places he's likely to be.
Stuart
"If such a process was implemented or supported on the basis of evidence which was fabricated, amended, mis-represented or falsified in any way, or if any relevant evidence was wilfully destroyed, that would be a grave matter and ought to have significant implications for those involved.”
If, as I presume, Mr Power is suggesting that such actions would be criminal he should be making a complaint to the police.
That would be a real test for Mr Bowron. Does he act with integrity or does he fall into line.
Integrity - when you do the right thing even though nobody's watching.
It looks like a phone call to the Newsnight office may be in order?
Frank Walker and his gin palace,rumour has it that he bought his boat from Guernsey to avoid the GST eventhough there were agents over in Jersey for the same kind of boat,can anyone enlighten us on this matter.
'Frank Walker and his gin palace,rumour has it that he bought his boat from Guernsey to avoid the GST'.
and his Maserati from 'the agents' a few hours before GST kicked in.
This man deserves no sympathy he deserves to be in the same position as his boat usually is... in the dock!
I immediately thought the circumstances that lead to this and of King Henry and Thomas a Becket and found this on checking the 'quote'..
The most commonly quoted, as handed down by "oral tradition", is "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?", but according to historian Simon Schama this is incorrect: he accepts the account of the contemporary biographer Edward Grim, writing in Latin, who gives us "What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born cleric?
Priceless!
Congratulations to Stuart, Rico and VFC for keeping this pot boiling and then lifting the lid.
As well as advancing the cause of justice for abuse survivors (and those who didn't), and the likelihood that the perpetrators of both the abuse and cover-up will get their just desserts, ye have made an irrefutable case for the alternative media. Bloggers who have been coming under attack from Establishments and MSM all over the place will take heart from what you are achieving.
And it is all taking place in the easy to understand local test tube that is Jersey.
May ye live long in the textbooks on citizenship and freedom of speech.
I have updated my latest Jersey post here.

Ctv covering their asses but saying the very bare minimum,surprise,surprise.
Local jounalists have not been trained for this kind of emergency situation.
Not trained because it was thought it would never happen....
But it has, due to Citizens Media!!

Re-reading Karen Rankines letter to Mr. Shenton in particular this paragraph
''Those principles of quality journalism which encompass accuracy, impartiality, fairness and legal knowledge underpin the role that the ‘traditional’ media plays in our society and is the basis of those news services provided by existing public service broadcasters and which remain highly valued within our society''
What is happening on, on this Island?
I have just tweeted a link to my post and included @StatesofJersey and @bbcjersey. When I went to these streams I find them full of vacuous platitudes with not a ripple in sight.
Why aren't you guys streaming stuff at them. It won't come up on their normal timelines but if you are following them via a search in the browser (or in Tweetdeck for example) all the tweets directed at them will come up in their stream.

LETTERS TO LENNY Part 5
I have had a comment submitted, that purports to be from a person associated with the BBC, investigating police corruption.
The comment contains telephone numbers/ contact details.
I'm not posting the comment, because I have no evidence at all - none - of the bona fides of the supposed investigative journalist.
Indeed - given everything that has happened - it would actually be quite remarkable if this was an actual BBC employee, or freelance with Corporation contacts.
Random announcements - with contact details - on web sites - is just not the way these things happen.
I could be wrong - in which case the person will contact me directly - with evidence of their bona fides - but until then, I would most strongly advise Jersey sources to regard the appeal for contacts with great suspicion.
Learn from my experiences - having been repeatedly contacted in the past by purported journalists - who have, in reality, been, inter alia - spin-doctors - police officers - private detectives - honey-trap prostitutes - MI5 recruitees - and at least one drugs dealer.
Anyone who approaches you - and claims to be a "journalist" - verify them; ask to see their work - ask for the web references.
If not - you run the risk of being conned into speaking Frankly to someones private detective.
Stuart
Very important point, Stuart, about speaking freely to those who may not be actual journalists. However, for what its worth, if it is indeed a real BBC reporter, you should be shown proof with all the documentation you need. If not, why not track this person down to see where his trail leads? Could be interesting.
I do know personally that BBC Hdqts has seen a sudden increase in complaints and suggestions regarding the new revelations concerning Matt Tapp and the (blogger uncovered) cover up. They have been warned that they will be answerable for their complicity.
'If not - you run the risk of being conned into speaking Frankly to someones private detective.'
Being conned into speaking 'Frankly to someones private detective'.
Your overseas readers may not understand your little joke there, a very important warning from history, but yes, very droll.
Stuart
From the point of view of the authorities could this be the scenario?
Lenny Harper seen as more interested in self publicity and doing damage to Jerseys image (remember Lenny Henry comment). So he has to go and as Power responsible for him...Then we have the Wendy Kinnard mystery.
So let us get a clean slate and remove the loose cannons.
$22 million of 2 years solitary. That sounds like a reasonable basis for determining certain compensation claims that ought to be coming soon
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/25/10233835-man-spends-2-years-in-solitary-after-dwi-arrest
The real reasons for suspending Graham Power and trying to frame Mr Harper, are much more sinister then bring closure to the HdlG investigation and all that, that might have revealed. Mr power and Mr Harper were getting to close to something, to close to uncovering the syndicates (both internal and external) that run this Island and for their own private and criminal gain, the IRA and it‘s American sponsors being just one such entity. Similarly, there are many, many British and foreign politicians, senior civil servants and all sorts of European nobility and bourgeoisie who wish to maintain jersey as a closed shop to any form of external or internal investigations, I kid you not!

Stuart, that speech you cheerfully gave at an election hustings meeting in the teeth of booing and heckling from the self-regarding yet ignorant crypto-fascist rednecks of Trinity parish, what was it you said there?
Something along the lines of these high establishment people, including the Bailhache Brothers, being 'criminals', as you brandished a copy of Mr. Power's statement to the Wiltshire investigation, and said to the vulgar mob, 'mark my words'?
Didn't one of the louts even assault you afterwards?
If I may say so, I think the time has come for 2 or 3 public meetings, at which people like you and Rico and others could explain the evidenced truth to those members of the public who have been lied to so much by our traditional media.
Even those members of the public who have wanted to be lied to, and throw tantrums when someone points out the truth.
What better venue, oh the symbolism, than Trinity parish hall?
Good idea.
Though if we used Trinity, someone will have to lend me a stab-vest.
Stuart
The Napier Report
I remember the late Peter Crill turning his back on the parish of Trinity after many many years worshiping at the parish church even singing in the choir, he suddenly moved to St Thomas,s Church never to be seen again.what is it about Trinity?
"democracy should not be taken for granted." you have to be joking Democracy ? in Jersey Oligarchy, Plutocracy, thiefdom or even tax haven maybe. but democracy? Nah dont think so.

I am reading about Fundwell, thanks to getting the Pindown Experience, I am finding things out that I didn't know, no wonder they didn't want any of us Pindown child abuse survivors getting our hands on that document!
What I am reading is making me sick with rage. It was all about money.
Hansard
How can the abuse survivors afford access to the truth, this should be free for us, I had to pay £50 for my doctored and incomplete medical records
I think the word your looking for is KAKISTOCRACY
Wiltshire Operation Haven Redacted
kak·is·toc·ra·cy
[kak-uh-stok-ruh-see] Show IPA
noun, plural -cies.
government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.
Yeah thats the one...
I have at last read the Napier report.
He concludes that there were was insufficient evidence for suspending Mr. Power.
He also states that he has seen Mr. Powers copy of the Interim Met. report and that it differs slightly from the other one that he has seen.
So at least two copies exist!!!
What is going on? Napier page 98
Operation Haven is highly critical of Harper and Power. You and Rico are obviously only sharing the one brain cell today!
Call for Jersey home affairs minister to resign
I had almost forgotten about Wendy Kinnard and her sudden exit left from the scene. Can you enlighten us as to why? Your earlier contibutor implies a connection to Harper and Power but what?
A reader says:
"Operation Haven is highly critical of Harper and Power. You and Rico are obviously only sharing the one brain cell today!"
Look, I know the IQ of Jersey oligarchy supporters is below average, but do try to pay attention.
One of the key, fundamental disputes in the entire issue, since the illegal suspension of Graham Power, has been the methodology, objectivity and competence of the Wiltshire report, 'Operation Haven'.
In a nutshell - it is manifest garbage.
It has so many obvious and startling flaws in it, as to be quite breathtaking.
Indeed, it bares all the hallmarks of being all-of-a-piece of the police corruption so evidencedley exhibited by Warcup, Gradwell and others.
It was for such reasons that Graham Power was very keen to be able to have his opportunity to put his case - the 'defence argument', as it were.
Because he and his representative from ACPO were going to annihilate it.
But Wiltshire knew that - and even more obviously, the Jersey Attorney General and Ian Le Marquand knew that.
Which is why the entire process was stretched, and dragged out until after Graham Power's retirement date came and went. He was, at that point, no longer a police officer - so the 'Operation Haven' investigation - terribly conveniently - ceased.
Came to an end - without any opportunity for Graham Power to rebut it.
But Ian Le Marquand - the coward, manipulator and evidenced liar that he is - then chose to seek to make political use of a report that had avoided having any counter-case placed against it.
And - in case the reader really is too thick to have absorbed the obvious implications of the recent revelations - things are not over yet.
Not by a long way.
The Wiltshire Police Fore, and its Chief Officer - have problems.
Big problems.
Stuart
A reader says:
"I had almost forgotten about Wendy Kinnard and her sudden exit left from the scene. Can you enlighten us as to why? Your earlier contributor implies a connection to Harper and Power but what?"
Yes - the sudden departure of Wendy Kinnard from the scene remains one of the most mysterious matters in the entire saga.
But, no - there was no connection to Graham Power or Lenny Harper.
People who make such speculations are looking in entirely the wrong direction.
If you want to now why Wendy Kinnard so strangely resigned, just when she did - after holding-out for so long - and when only such a very short period of her term-of-Office remained - the question needs to be addressed to Frank Walker.
And one or two others.
Stuart
To the moron who trolls, clinging desperately to Operation Haven - consider just one of the simple facts.
The supposed "Interim Met Report" - as depicted by the Jersey oligarchy - has now been exposed as fictitious.
It is thus a now demonstrated - evidenced - fact - that the Chief of Police was suspended illegally - on the basis of a pack of lies - cobbled together by spin-doctors - employed by the States of Jersey - the organisation under serious criminal investigation by the police under the leadership of Graham Power.
Those facts are now proven.
Which leads to a stark - inescapable - conclusion.
Given the evidenced facts that have now emerged - how come Operation Haven and the Wiltshire Force were not "able" to discover those facts?
How come the rather stark - and evidenced - fact that the initial suspension of the Police Chief had been a criminal enterprise "eluded" the Chief Officer of Wiltshire?
And that is just one of the more obvious fatal problems that beset the Wiltshire report.
There are others - not yet in the public domain.
Problems that do indeed mean that Frank Walker is going to have a lot of questions to answer.
Have another Stella, Jon.
And make sure you get a big stock in. Your going to need it.
Stuart.
have just started the daunting task of reading through 'Wiltshire' Got as far as page 9 before i found the first mistake.
1.5.5 Haut de la Garenne was built in 1866 as a privately run home for
destitute and orphaned children. In 1900 it became known as the
Jersey Home for Boys. The Education Committee took responsibility
for it in 1953 when it became a mixed-gender home and was re
named Haut de la Garenne. The building ceased to function as a
children’s home in 1983 and at the time of the search, in
February 2008, it was a youth hostel.
It became a mixed gender home as i left there late '60 early '61.

Along the lines of your warning that BBC is risking a big scandal here, I found this prescient and well crafted anonymous comment left January 9, on an earlier VFC blog:
"Is not the BBC as an institution running a very big risk in participating in the Jersey cover ups the way it so obviously has?
When the truth really gets out in a big way, all of Jersey's msm will be discredited but that's scarcely a big deal to the local syndicate. But THE BBC nationally has it all to lose. Suppose you people in Jersey succeed in getting a major national or international newspaper, or broadcast news service, to take an interest? The story's ready made for them on a plate, the documented evidence is all there. 'The Failure of the Rule of Law and of Free Democracy in the British Channel Island of Jersey'.
Then were does the BBC put its face?
They've had all this, all of the evidence, a really serious story, enough for several documentaries, available to them for a few years now. All that opportunity. And to put the cherry on the cake, they've got the Graham Power statement.
But the BBC has stayed silent.
Basically, they've passively colluded with your corrupt 'oligarchy'. Even staying silent whilst a leading opposition politician gets harassed, suppressed and jailed for speaking out against the corruption. I'm no expert in national and international journalism, but I just can't escape the feeling the BBC have really got themselves into a massive and historically and internationally significant hole here.
The real story and full scrutiny is not going to be avoided forever. And when it comes out I just can't see any hiding place for the BBC.
I'm not sure their bosses see it yet, but 'The Jersey Cover Ups' could be the BBC's 'black swan'. Maybe even the most damaging scandal in the corporation's history.
All the ingredients are there.
Think about it."

Re:
the Bogus (faked) `Met Interim report’
Anonymous said...
Please can you clarify as to whether or not there exists a report issued by the Metropolitan Police that is called: the `interim Metropolitan police Report'?
The reason I ask, is that I am sure that the Met had made it clear, that they did not write an `Interim report'! The only report that the Met lay claim to is `The Metropolitan Police Report'....that being the only report compiled by them.
Please can you clear this issue up for me?
Rico replied
A civilian employee of the Met who was working on the Met Review of Operation Rectangle sent David Warcup some briefing notes on the 10th November 2008.
These notes where then turned into a MET Interim report in Jersey - they were just notes- Interim Report is a name made up by the Jersey Authorities.
Re read the posting over and over and you will start to get it.
This is why the suspension letters were drafted before the 10th - they already new what they were doing - they were using the Tapp Report
Tapp probably never had a clue what it was going to lead to.
You cat very well saying where going to suspend GP because of a report we commissioned that is why the name METROPOLITAN came in - just to give the suspension some balls
So in Fact, the Interim Metropolitan Police Report was fabricated in Jersey and did not originate in Uk or from The Metropolitan Police! This is highly important!!
Anonymous said...
Thank you for clarifying the question regarding: `the Met `Interim Report’! May I suggest that when you refer to it in future that you label it the ` Faked Metropolitan Police Interim Report’, just to make it crystalline to your readers that it was faked by the SOJ and that no such report from the Met ever existed in reality?
Excerpt from that Daily Mail article I posted about Lenny Harper:
"the Jersey authorities have portrayed the alleged victims as compensation-hungry criminals.
Graham Power, the head of States of Jersey Police, has been suspended, accused of illegal spending on the inquiry. Harper, his former deputy, has been ordered to return to the island for questioning about the alleged theft of documents. Two weeks ago, Stuart Syvret, Jersey's former health minister who raised the issue of abuse, was arrested under data protection laws, accused of leaking material to the media.
Harper, dressed in a crinkled cream suit, seems genuinely unfazed. 'I've served in Brixton, Peckham, Glasgow - I'm used to flak,' he says. 'I don't care what a few establishment cover-up merchants and their pet poodles say about me. But I do care about the victims on Jersey. I'll keep speaking up for their sake.'
Last month, he supported an application at London's High Court by Syvret to ensure that the trials of any alleged Jersey abusers are heard in Britain by British judges. However, the court rejected the bid."
ALL THESE CRIMINAL ACTS ARE BEING RECORDED, WITH OR WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE BBC AND THE JEP.
No wonder poor old ILM got lumbered with the Home Affairs ministers post again, when he clearly didn't want it!
After all, he must have had doubts about the authenticity of what has now been proved to be a faked `Met Interim Report'.
A bogus report which was contrived with the intent to fraudulently and criminally remove an honest and respected police officer from his post and dish dirt on another.
A bogus and faked document compiled by the two leading representatives of the States of Jersey at the time......how low can people sink, how disgusting!
All of those involved in this attempt to pervert the course of justice and deceive the people of this Island, and indeed the world at large should be behind bars!
Sorry Stuart for this post, considering how adamant you are that the Interim report does not exist.
Mr. Power should be able to clear this up.
I really would like an explanation as to how it is that Napier clearly states that Mr. Power has a copy of the Interim Met.report.
NAPIER
98. In this context I note that the version of the Interim Report which was in Mr
Power’s possession, and which he showed to me, was provided to him as part
of the Wiltshire Inquiry. It is the same document in content, but the title page
on his version is different. It purports to be an “Officer’s Report” from an
individual named Peter Britton, and bears the date 10/11/2008.
Napier says that it is the SAME document IN CONTENT.
Same as what?
So now we know that there ARE at least two copies,but whose copy had Napier been comparing to, keeping in mind that Warcup kept his copy to himself,and our hierarchy had no copy...............or did they?
Have the Met. stated that there is no such document or have they said that they didnt send one to Mr. Warcup. Thats a big difference.
Stuart.
Re your comment starting "I have had a comment submitted, that purports to be from a person associated with the BBC, investigating police corruption."
The comment below was submitted to the JEP's story about the costs of Wiltshire "£900,000 bills for UK police to investigate Jersey officers"
"I am in the process of researching a BBC documentary about police misconduct in the UK, and I would be interested to hear the testomines of some of the people affected by this story. If you or anyone on this forum would like to tell your story — not necessarily on camera, I would like to hear from you. I can be contacted at 0208 960 1446, or at annalies@specialeditionsfilms.com"
Is this the same person? - if so special edition films appears to be legitimate - they have produced quite a few social documentaries.

LETTERS TO LENNY Part 6
Damocles
Well, if Special Edition would care to contact me directly, and discus their work, I'd be happy to speak with them.
But the general message of caution must remain; all kinds of improperly motivated "approaches" - and "research" - gets done by people pretending to be 'journalists'.

The same calculated attempts at diversionary obfuscation have been submitted to other blogs.
The facts are plain.
The "Interim Met Report" - as referred to by Mr. Power and Napier in those documents has now been exposed as a fake - and even on its own terms, grotesquely misrepresented.
The document in question was a set of notes, written and e-mailed by a civilian Met employee.
It has now been exposed as not actually being an official Metropolitan Police report.
Further - both that civilian document - and the eventual report by Brian Sweeting did not contain the "damning criticisms" - as depicted by Warcup, Ogley, Bailhache, Walker, Lewis etc.
Therefore - and this is quite simple, so do pay attention - the "Interim Met report" - as claimed and depicted by the Jersey mafia - did not exist.
There was a civilian written 'memo' - not an official Met report - and even that memo did not contain the variety of specific, supposedly "damning" criticisms as claimed by Jersey's public authorities.
It is now clear that David Warcup - almost certainly in collusion with others - took the civilian memo - and manipulated it, so as to manufacture a forgery - a document that appeared like an official Met Police report - when it was not.
No matter the diversionary attempts to spread the fog of confusion - the plain, key fact is perfectly clear.
There was no "Interim Met Report" of the kind claimed by the Jersey mafia.
The supposedly "damning report" that the Jersey authorities used to suspend the Chief of Police - did not exist.
So what took place is a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Stuart, the email address for Annalies at: annalies@specialeditionsfilms.com did not work for me. I went to their website, which is not at all descriptive, and used the email address there, info@specialeditionsfilms.com, which also bounced, and I received both emails back. I could find almost no solid info on the company through google, and no verifiable relationship to BBC. Might mean nothing, but it is strange, nonetheless.
Has anyone actually communicated with them, or viewed their verifiable credentials and media credits?
I'd say that was pretty clear then.
Almost certainly a 'front', a sham.
Stuart
Re Special Editions Films, instead of Annalies
Maybe Anna lies? Or, do they work with Matt Tapp? Does the BBC verify a relationship? Has anyone defending or vouching for them provided proof of their legitimacy? I think it is worth looking into as potentially part of the effort to derail your efforts to expose some aspect of Jersey corruption.

Jersey's accredited Media once again prove themselves incompetent or corrupt (you choose) by failing to cover matter of public interest. Thankfully we have citizen's media!
BBC and JEP 'Boycott' Scrutiny Meeting
Stuart.
Will ILM be in the States tomorrow to answer questions or will he be in the TOILET?
Will he be in the toilet? Why not, that's where his reputation is.
Thanks Stuart for your reply to my query re Mr Powers 'Interim' report.
You made this comment
The same calculated attempts at diversionary obfuscation have been submitted to other blogs.
I sent the question to yourself,VFC and Rico, uncertain which if any could answer it.
VFC gave a detailed polite reply with which i was satisfied,though it did raise more questions,but VFC has stated that he will be doing a fuller posting on the matter.
Others have also posted detailed explanations re. this matter on VFC, with covering quotes from reliable documents.
I was unsure how to take your comment Stuart until I checked a dictionary for OBFUSCATION.
I suspect(there is room for doubt) that I may have been insulted :o)
Keep in mind that i was purely raising a question about the EXISTENCE of an 'Interim' report(note the inverted commas)and that I was making no inference whatsoever as to its content.
LETTERS TO LENNY Part 7 - An Explosive Finale!
Word V "ovenbro"
PMSL :)
Have never attended the States in session.
Have no idea where the entrance is.
What time should i turn up to watch THE entertainment ?
The public entrance is in Halkett Place - opposite Mourier House and the session starts at 9.30.
Whether it could be described as "entertainment" is debatable.
I imagine all you would witness would be another faintly deranged exercise in Groupthink. Expect the customary brazen dismissals of the facts. Don't misunderstand me - it would be a good thing to go along, and witness the wretched display. The more civilised people present, the more discomforting it is for the clowns.
Just don't go expecting anything good.
Stuart
Though I never made it to the States chamber,i did listen via radio and relieved that i did not waste my time attending.
ILM is saying nothing to do with him,that Mr. Lewis made the decision.
You cant fight against that.
We await the results of Mr.Powers complaint against Wiltshire.
The only way, it seems to me, to sort out this whole mess is to sue SoJ inc. for defamation.
ILM claims that there other reasons apart from Warcups letter that led to Mr. Powers suspension.
In the interest of silencing the bloggers would he care (with Mr. Powers agreement)to show us what they are.
You can "argue with that", actually.
The position of Minister is a public Office - that carries on, in perpetuity, responsibility and accountability for the actions of that Office, quite regardless of the current post-holder.
Though you can't be criticised for not knowing that - as not one single member of the legislature appeared to be aware of it.
God - the performance of the States today was dismal and atrocious.
And you can't even single out Ian Le Marquand, as inadequate and riddled with sophistry were his 'answers', for particular criticism; the questioners - the supposed 'progressives' - were far worse.
ILM and the rest of the oligarchs will have gone to their lunch in a state of dazed shock - not believing their luck - not believing how they've manged to get away with it - again. I was going to use the expression "dodged the bullet" - but that does require a few metaphorical 'bullets' to have been fired.
Stuart
Yes, complete waste of time listening in. TV cameras were set up in the square waiting for them to emerge at lunchtime, no doubt to interview them on some other trivial matters.
We shall have to wait for now, as usual.
Playing fast and foolish with the law
Stuart
If no members of the legislature are aware of the duties and perpetual obligations of ministerial office, don't they need the assistance of the UK in governance? That much seems obvious.

Hi Stuart.
Just put up the recordings from today of Question time. You & your reader's can listen HERE
Stuart.
Former Chief Police Officer Graham Power QPM responds to readers questions concerning the infamous Met "Interim" REPORT
NAPIER SAYS SUSPENSION UNSOUND DUE TO LACK OF HARD EVIDENCE
ILM has selectively referred to Napier throughout States questions in such a way that he has misrepresented what Napier actually says.
The most important example of this is when he says that Napier highlights some 'procedual' failings. What he fails to point out is that Napier also highlights at length, not least in his reports' conclusion, that there are significant 'hard evidence' based failings.
ILM makes Napier out to be favourable to his case but really it is not. Napier in effect says that Power should not have been suspended ON THE EVIDENCE irrespective of any procedural failings.
Questions to ILM have not directly focused on this aspect of Napier. As I see it, Napier is more favourable to your position than to his, but ILM has managed to turn this perception around in the states debates.
This perception of Napier needs to be challenged
Question for ILM:
Do you agree that the final section of the Napier report headed
'Conclusions' focuses mostly on considerations of the EVIDENCE (AS OPPOSED TO THE PROCEDURE) and that apart from the procedural failings identified earlier in the report, Napier's conclusion highlights the fact there was not sufficient hard evidence to carry out the suspension of Mr Power on the 12 Nov.?
Quote from Napier (Conclusions - para 107)
‘…the basis on which he was suspended on 12 November 2008 was in my view inadequate. There was at the time a lack of hard evidence against him ...’
Stuart, was there any plans that you are aware of to introduce RFID chips whilst you were health minister?
