Miss Misconducting herself in public office

Whilst Damian Green MP, 52 , was "grooming" his ultra Conservative friendly Civil Servant wannabe "friend" of wannabe Ministers, Christopher Galley , to root through kebab loving, Home Secretary (still!) Jacquie Smith's drawers and "conspiring" with him to leak , Plod was taking decisive action. Whilst the Met Plod decided to arrest the pair of them "misconduct in a public office" they have (so far) refrained from laying charges.

Not so Plod in Northumbria.

In August Northumbria Plod swooped and arrested eight women and six men as a consequence of a large scale operation looking at corruption of Police officers and Council staff involving organised prostitution and corrupt public officials across Northumbria, County Durham, Greater Manchester, Cleveland and the Scottish Borders , which involved prostitutes advertising on the Internet, webby thingy.

The Sun , naturally anxious to help the forces of Law and Order disclosed that WPC Vikki Thorne, 28, working at the Houghton le Spring nick was filling in her spare time seeing 20 men a week ,as "Kelly" , a £100-an-hour hooker who advertised on "Notorious Girls" (see below) as ready willing and able to perform a variety of "services" but she refused to wear a UNIFORM , or see punters from Sunderland.

Also arrested were a police officer Simon Alistair Harrison, who was on a career break from the force and was living in West Yorkshire. After serving more than four years with the police, mainly in the Newcastle command area, he took up a career teaching. However, he has accepted a caution.

A Customs worker and a civil servant (so far not named in the press) were also arrested.

Anyway WPC Vicki Thorne who has been suspended and in hiding since her arrest appeared today on a single charge of "misconduct in a public office" at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court , along with four others, all charged with offences relating to prostitution. Vicki, said to be a wealthy businessman's daughter drove off from court in her Audi TT to her new detached house to remain in hiding until December 22, when all five will appear at Newcastle Crown Court again. All five were granted bail.

Notorious Girls

There is a website Notorious Girls which will re-direct you to either NG North East or North West , choosing the latter you find the message that re-directs you to La Maison Bury with the alluring address - Albert Works, 1 Brook Street, Bury BL9 6AH if you choose to enter the site you can easily select from amenu - for example Robyn, who smokes (but will refrain), won't enjoy the company of 2 men, or rimming (whatever that is) and is 5' 8"... a costing sheet is available.

It appears that these sites are run by Neil and Natalie Lock, both 27 (and preposterously style themselves Lord and Lady Lock) and live in Galashiels, Selkirkshire . They were picked up by Plod in their swoop in August along with their computers , no doubt along with details of their flock of 70 girls who each pay £117.50 per week to appear on their site, which has been in operation for 5 years.

"We earn £15,000 a week and make £3,500 a week profit " claim Lord and Lady Lock , “The cops have seized our assets of £1.5million which includes our homes worth around £1million and my Bentley worth £155,000.

They insist they are not acting illegally. They claim payments to the escorts are for “companionship” only and anything else is “a matter of choice between two or more consulting adults”.

Of course.

Critical National Infrastructure Police - more fucking Plods - just what we need in a time of crisis

Spy blog busily and astutely watching them watching us, alerts us to a curiously (leaked ? placed ?) article in the Mail on Sunday by Jason Lewis

Anti-terror patrols secretly stepped up at power stations

Massive expansion of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary is being secretly planned to protect Britain's most vulnerable terrorist targets.

The Mail on Sunday has learned that it will be transformed into the Critical National Infrastructure Police and mount armed patrols around all key installations nationwide, including power stations, phone and computer networks, oil and gas pipelines, ports and airports.

Secret negotiations also include taking over responsibility for protecting Government buildings and key economic targets.

...Richard Thompson, a former Foreign Office counter-terrorism expert who has served in Iraq, took over the force in June last year and has been carrying out strategic reviews to prepare for its expanded role.

The intention is that the force, which has a £50million-a-year budget, will have more officers and take over policing other power stations, critical telecom buildings, gas installations, fuel dumps, airports and other key terror targets

....The Critical National Infrastructure force is expected to be announced as part of Security Minister Lord West's review of Britain's preparedness for terrorism.

Spy Blog points out that Whilst it might make sense to have some 24/7 armed protection for, say, the Balgzand (Netherlands) to Bacton (Norfolk) gas pipeline terminal, covered extensively here when Bacton had an explosion earlier this year - Friday, April 04, 2008 - Friday, April 04, 2008 IslamoFascist transatlantic airplane toilet terror liquid exploding baby bomb plot and an explosion at Bacton Gas teminal ) Tuesday, March 04, 2008 The Bigger the Bang - The Louder the silence No 17 : Massive gas Explosion at Nyagan, Siberia covered up... and gas cuts to Ukraine ?? Friday, February 29, 2008 Bacton - Pipelines blowing up - Press shutting up - gas price going up.

As ever Spy Blog has expertly filleted this proposal to extend and expand a secretive, unaccountable armed force, and raises some ( well quite a lot - 18 in total up to press) Obvious Spy Blog Questions - go and read them and consider. e.g;

# - Why should these armed guards be called "Police" when they should actually be a military unit ?
# - Other countries civil nuclear facilities or Government buildings are protected with anti-aircraft missiles and heavy machine guns, armoured fighting vehicles, attack helicopters etc. Surely the Critical National Infrastructure Police will not be expected to just use pistols and sub machine guns, and unarmoured police vehicles ? ?

# - Will the Critical National Infrastructure Police have their own bomb disposal expertise ?

Sp Blog also raises some fascinating points about the newly uniformed Border Police and their role in working with these new Plods/ Gendarmerie and the murky under world of hired military muscle.

IanPJ at the Libertarian Party blog remarks ;

With every incidence of new armed, empowered Police forces answerable only to politicians, it weakens the role of our real Police, sworn Police Officers who swear allegiance to the Crown.

Classic totalitarian tactics.

Of course, with the incapacity of British Energy to keep all the ageing, clapped out, outdated , nuclear reactors working (for deatails see analysis of last years Annual Report see Wednesday, May 28, 2008 British Energy; lamentable tale of management incompetence and national decline in engineering and reliance on the nation's critical energy supplies ) their will be precious little for this shiny new Gendarmerie to protect and precious little for them to do.

'I have known about Jersey paedophiles for 15 years,'

'I have known about Jersey paedophiles for 15 years,' says Eileen Fairweather in the Mail on Sunday today

This is a lengthy and revealing article that sets out the links between the 12 care homes of Islington which she investigated for the London Evening Standard, in the early Nineties. .."hundreds of children's files mysteriously disappeared in Islington " ..."prove(d) that every home included staff who were paedophiles, child pornographers or pimps".

Islington's appalling mishandling of vital records was highlighted by the independent White inquiry into the abuse in Islington children's homes, which found that "at assistant director level . . . many confidential files were destroyed by mistake, although there is no evidence of conspiracy." Ho.Ho.Ho.

...who was in charge of Islington care homes at the time ? Step forward Minister of State in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport The Right Honourable Margaret Eve, Lady Hodge, MBE 64 (née Margaret Oppenheimer) MP for Barking. She was the first Minister for Children appointed in a newly created post within the Department for Education and Skills in 2001 .

Fascinating article about the paedophile rings that run rings round the Police, the Law, the Press.

Read it.....But don't hold your breath. Abused children cannot tell the truth, have bad memories ...

...and don't miss the opportunityt to read about the infamous Kincora Boy's home ..."Kincora was run as a virtual gay brothel by loyalist leaders and MI5 . Its clientele who preyed for years on vulnerable young boys in its care like Stone included loyalist paramilitary leaders , unionist politicians , judges and public figures . "... the Police files are sealed... but perhaps you shouldn't because they also retail the story that ...

"A few years back Prince Philip's former private equerry Sir Peter Horsley wrote a book which threatened to spill the beans on Prince Phillip, Mountbatten etc, " but he was obviously bonkers ...wasn't he ? ..and all this is nonsense surely ?

UPDATE 1.00 pm GMT Sunday
'A problem with punishment'A government minister and a care manager on Jersey claim to have been sacked for raising awkward questions about child protection on the island by Haroon Siddique and David Batty Guradian, Tuesday February 26 2008 - remarkable how much has been recently uncovered , but a child's skull has kick started the interest by the Press/TV.

Community Care has links to all Press articles about the current investigations in Jersey , with History etc., which is continually updating.

And here is a curious very brief image from a curious film available on You Tube made by/for the St.Peters Youth Club, Jersey.
