A Rape Allegation Not Taken Seriously? In Vera Baird's Patch?

The Devil you say!

It's interesting, isn't it, how far we've come? I mean, it used to be that any claim, no matter how ridiculous or ancient, would be investigated by teams of police. And the court system would bend over backwards to aid the complainant.

Is this 'progress'? Well, maybe not. Especially not when one looks at the Northumbria Police statement:
"It is disappointing that the victim is now having to endure a situation where the case she was involved in is being subjected to entirely misleading reporting, based on unfounded information, via social-media outlets.
"This would seem to be a deliberate attempt to undermine the very strong community-cohesion that currently exists across the force area and we urge our communities to see it for what it is."
Really? What is it then?

The police's statement has bugger all to do with the empty phrase 'community cohesion' and everything to do with the fact that the police wanted to brush this crime under the carpet to protect Muslims from criticism, but they've been caught out doing so.

@ Fahrenheit. It’s the way the white women dress, innit. Encourages them, innit, to go jack ‘em and that, you get me?

Hey Raqib,
I've found out why Muslim men wear beards. It's because they want to look like their mothers, innit.

Chief Superintendent Ged 'Wormtongue' Noble is more like the 'offenders friend' than a proper police officer, my blog's comment on this shocking dereliction of duty and blamestorming by the police here: http://www.fahrenheit211.net/2017/05/08/northumbria-police-its-not-us-who-buried-the-muslim-gang-rape-case-it-was-the-cps-honest-guvnor/

I suppose this might work (assuming this is the lady with a similar name to a football team) if it weren't for the minor detail that she's heavily involved in the raising of the issue on social media, protest marches and complaints about the behaviour about the Police.

"...but they've been caught out doing so."

Again. You'd think they'd learn, wouldn't you?

"...if it weren't for the minor detail that she's heavily involved in the raising of the issue on social media, protest marches and complaints about the behaviour about the Police."

It couldn't (and wouldn't) be done without her cooperation.
