An Essex Police spokesman said: “We are investigating allegations of malicious communications and inquiries are ongoing.”Really? I mean, really?
Essex Police confirmed a probe is under way after a complaint from the mayor after a link to the video on Facebook and Youtube was e-mailed to all councillors and senior officers at Basildon Council.
The video is a skit on an embarrassing photograph posted online of the mayor after Armed Forces Day in Basildon, in June, when she appeared to be looking at her mobile phone while receiving a salute from troops.So what if it's a skit? Are Essex Police the Humour Police now?
Mrs Larkin said: “You can expect criticism as mayor, but no one should have to put up with this sort of humiliation – it is disgusting.”And, thanks to the fact that you are far too dim to know about things like the Streisand Effect, now far, far more people have seen it than ever would under normal circumstances. It's even made the States!
Mr Ball said: “We’ve been the subject of these cartoon videos before, but previously there’s been an element of humour and they were quite cleverly done.
“Although this video had similarities, it was lacking in any humour and was appallingly offensive to the mayor.”And, much as you might wish it were otherwise, that's not a crime...
Still, it’s not like Essex Police have any more serious crimes to deal with, I suppose…
Oops, sorry, just passing and thought the caption said "Ma Larkin" . . .
ReplyDeleteSo local politicians have a 'right' not to be offended now, have they?
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to Essex so crime free that its bobbies having nothing serious (or even sensible) to concern themselves with.

ReplyDeleteShe should be happy that it is merely a bit of animation it could get a lot worse. Most people wouldn't have either noticed her or cared less, now however they have a reason to dislike her.
The trouble with the police to a large extent is that we cannot say "go away this is not a police matter" to anyone.We are ruled by the fear of people complaining.

The cartoon version is a marked improvement on Essex Woman herself, who looks like some sort of predator on 14 year old boys.
ReplyDeleteshe is no youngster but still sexy, and i would defo vote for a ady with gorgeous tits like she has
ReplyDeleteAll ruling councils make their loose cannon mayor, but it still doesn't keep the fuckwits out of trouble..
ReplyDeleteEver heard of councillor Galpin, Julia?

Jaded, but that is the problem with the whole of "society" nowdays.
WHY is every one "affraid" of something?
Hel, 20, or 30 years ago, you would be locked up under the mental health act as "Paranoid" or something.
NOW it seems to be a hobby, or even the "default" of the population.
And I mean the whole of the Western world. NOT just Britain, or any particular job.
WHAT are we "affraid" of, all of a sudden?
"Islamophobia"???
No, I have no "Phobia", I just HATE the bastards.
(Tin foil hat moment!! :-) )
WHEN did this start?
1980's they started putting Flouride in the water.....
(Tin foil hat off.)

Kick yout guide dog. It is leading you astray.
Wether dressed as mutton is deceptively tough.
ReplyDeleteWHEN did this start?
ReplyDeleteWe've always been afraid. It suits our rulers to have us looking over our shoulders rather than at them.
... we cannot say "go away this is not a police matter"
ReplyDeleteThat's largely because the fools in Parliament have passed laws criminalising everything, including things that should properly have remained within the civil domain.
You heartless lot! Do you have no feelings or human kindness for the poor bugger who wandered across her event horizon, fell in and got trapped?
ReplyDeleteWhat an ugly fat troughing slag!
ReplyDeleteWhat the Teuton said plus Jaded is right - someone makes an allegation these days it has to be investigated, I mean who would want to be labelled a 'small person racist' for example.....something MUST and has to be done
The W Yorks force helicopter hovers alongside my home with plod snipers slung below the skids. As red spots fly across the study walls, it seems prudent to offer my sincere apologies to Cllr Larkin and the entire socialist movement, for any offense occasioned by criminally reckless comment.
ReplyDeleteI was merely seeking alternative suggestions for Sunday lunch.
It is rather alarming and worrying that we seem to have people in the Police service who seem to seriously regard stuff like this as a criminal offence worthy of investing resources.
ReplyDeleteClearly not too many burglars, assaults and drug dealers in Basildon at the moment?
Sorry Julia. Justz testing. Blooge is playing stupid bastards.

No. You have had successive dictatorships that thought that.
This was complaibned about by the Mayor.
Now Wee Jimmy MC Chavish may forget about it, when nothing is done about his complaint, but you can bet your bottom fucking dollar THIS bich wouldn't.
"..thought the caption said "Ma Larkin" ."
ReplyDeleteLOL!
"It's nice to Essex so crime free that its bobbies having nothing serious (or even sensible) to concern themselves with."
If only... :(
"We are ruled by the fear of people complaining."
Time to grow a pair!
"...who looks like some sort of predator on 14 year old boys."
For food..?
"Ever heard of councillor Galpin, Julia?"
ReplyDeleteGraham or Georgina?
"Kick yout guide dog. It is leading you astray."

"It suits our rulers to have us looking over our shoulders rather than at them."
Spot on!
"The W Yorks force helicopter hovers alongside my home with plod snipers slung below the skids."
From what we've seen of their marksmanship, you've little to fear.
Do the police have nothing better to do???
