'Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes' Indeed...

A prison diversity officer had an 'inappropriate' relationship with an inmate at a London prison and failed to report he had a phone with him, a court heard today.

Probably some naive young thing who had her head turned by the glamour of a bad boy, eh? 

Former HMP Wormwood Scrubs officer Pamela Belonwu, 51, entered into the six month 'inappropriate' relationship with inmate Clifton Thomas while he was serving time at the Category 2 prison in White City, Isleworth Crown Court heard.

Oh... 

Belonwu has had managerial roles within the NHS and charity sector.

I wonder what her qualifications were to be hired by all those public sector employers. It's a mystery.

The offender in this case looks worryingly like a Diversity Hire who has had a career out of being such in other areas of public service. I suspect that these sorts of morality and probity free shites, hired for no other reason than the colour of their skin or some other non relevant factor, will be who end up making up the bulk of Boris Johnson's planned 'Blockwarts' to bully, harass and spy on us over Covid.

A prison diversity officer

Not enough blacks in jail?

No surprises there. I know someone who works in a prison: considering the safety and security needs of the place, the stories of managerial ineptitude which come out of there beggar belief.

Not one of the Belonwus of Pump Lane, perchance?

The Prison Service has a long and distinguished history of hiring the cheapest they can get. Sounds like they did it again.

"According to her Linkedin page, she is a ‘Distance learning tutor Criminon UK equality advisor at Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service’.

And that must get the Gold Medal award for an invented job.

"Criminon is a program for rehabilitating prisoners using L. Ron Hubbard's teachings."

In other words, a bunch of parasitic batshit crazy fruitloops. Nothing more, nothing less.

In my experience I've found 'Equality Advisors' and similar to be just a few steps above the level of 'moron'. Here's a funny example.

Many years ago I worked at a community arts centre and I was in charge of the photographic darkroom there. We had to sell our services not just to individuals who might want to book the facilities but also to other community organisations. One of these potential customers was an organisation led by a Black guy who was a big noise on the equalities and diversity scene with lots of links to local authorities, big charities and the like. Being nice to this powerful man was for my boss an opening to potential opportunities.

Anyway this Black equalities leader wanted to come and visit, have a look around and do some health and safety checking. He also wanted to throw his weight around a bit and feel important by doing this absolutely unnecessary health and safety audit.

So he did the tour, had a little moan about the bins in the room where screen printing went on and then commented on the darkroom. 'There's a major problem with the darkroom' he pompously declared. 'The door is completely opaque, it's dangerous, there should be a clear safety glass vision panel in the darkroom door'. I replied: 'I'm afraid that cannot be done, it's impossible'. 'Why's that' the great equalities panjandrum bellowed. 'Because it's a darkroom sir, it needs to be dark, a clear class panel would make it impossible to use light sensitive materials in the room,' He looked extremely embarassed and I took myself off to another part of the building in order to piss myself laughing at this guy's complete and utter idiocy and failure to understand that the primary purpose of a darkroom was to be dark.

These women that shag prisoners are usually fat and ugly. From the prisoners point of view it's better than being done roughly from behind by big Bubba in the showers. From the women's point of view at least they know their man isn't out every night drinking and cheating on them.
Jaded.

Those, and the usual suspects from the white self-hating society of Islington.

" I know someone who works in a prison: considering the safety and security needs of the place, the stories of managerial ineptitude which come out of there beggar belief."

Well, that's comforting...! 😒

Sadly, these days, I doubt it'd even get a bronze!

"In other words, a bunch of parasitic batshit crazy fruitloops. Nothing more, nothing less."

That's how I always mentally translate 'L Ron Hubbard' when I see it in print..!

"He looked extremely embarassed... "

I'm amazed he had the intelligence to feel that way!
