Remember When You Read The Newspaper To Be Better Informed?

Who is the woman? On which side is she protesting? Who attacked her? No 'journalist' seems to want to find out. Probably in case they find out she's rentamob who the cops escorted to the hotel to mount a counterprotest...

“Disappointingly we have seen yet another protest, which had begun peacefully, escalate into mindless thuggery with individuals again hurting one of our officers and damaging a police vehicle,” Ch Spt Simon Anslow said in a statement.

 

The cops aren't talking about their mindless thuggery, oh dear me, no! They aren't counting their officer knocking out a protesters teeth with a riot shield, or their police van driver putting his foot down and running over a protester which, following the Chris Kaba case, should be classed as assault with a deadly weapon, shouldn't it?

In an apparent response to allegations that the police had taken a “two-tier” approach that favoured the counter-demonstration, Ch Supt Simon Anslow said: “Unfortunately, across social media we are seeing inflammatory comments which suggest we were supporting and enabling certain protesters.

“This is categorically not true. We police without fear or favour, remaining impartial at all times and have legal responsibilities to ensure peaceful protest is facilitated.”

And less than a day later, Anslow was exposed as a liar in the MSM. I would say 'typical of country bumpkins like Essex Police'  but actually, I think it's now merely typical of the entire country's police farces.

"I Don't Believe It...!"

Well, actiually, I do. And I sympathise. Hasn't he heard of Internet shopping, though?

A man banned from shops in a Norfolk town has blamed his hatred of queuing for abusing staff.

Wonder why the photo comes from Esses Police? Yes. Me too.

Perhaps Whatever It Is Should Now Be?

Two dogs have been seized from the address, and one of these dogs is believed to have been involved in the incident.

While police have been unable to confirm the exact breed, the dogs seized are not a banned breed.

If it can maul a woman in Southend to death, then add it to the list! 

And amazingly, yet another incident where the police can't say what it is, but are immediately convinced of what it isn't....

Update: it’s now being reported she had two dogs, a bull mastiff and a Pomeranian, but Essex Police are claiming they don’t know which animal is responsible. Which would sound ludicrous, until you realise it’s Essex Police! 

But Don't They Already, Ben-Julian?

Admittedly it's usually down to sloth and indifference, but I don't think the crime victims care what the reason is...

Ben-Julian Harrington, who heads Essex Police, fears scores of officers are leaving the profession because they can't afford to pay their rent and household bills.

He said many officers are taking on second jobs to make ends meet or leaving forces to become scaffolders, taxi or train drivers because it pays better.

'We won't keep cutting crime if PCs can't afford to be cops,' he warned yesterday.

I don't think you are cutting crime, are you? 

But This Isn't 'Controversial'...

A pub landlord at the centre of a row over golliwogs has denied that he is racist after controversial social media posts from him emerged declaring support for...

Apartheid? Forced repatriation? Brown sauce on bacon sandwiches instead of tomato?

...'White Lives Matter'.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Try harder, race baiters.

He faced a huge social media backlash and was accused of being racist after his hard-hitting posts were circulated by critics.

It wasn't anything like 'a huge social media backlash'. Ask Nike what one of those looks like. These people aren't 'critics'. They are race baiting shit stirrers and should be regarded as such.

In the latest twist to the controversy, historic Facebook posts from Mr Ryley also show him posting: 'Black Chancellors matter' in October 2022 in a reference to former Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng.

The monster, eh?

Mr Ryley, who is the licensee of The White Hart pub is due to be questioned by police when he returns from Turkey next month. He is being investigated for a hate crime because of the display of golliwogs in his pub.

He added: 'I will have a solicitor with me and I'm looking forward to defending my position. The golliwogs are not me being racist, they are a reminder of my childhood. I don't understand how anybody could be offended by them.'

They aren't. They are pretending to be, with the full collusion of the disgraceful Essex Police.  

They Had No Standing To Give Such Orders...

...so 'defying' them is absolutely the right thing to do:

A pub landlady today defied authorities and put more of her golliwog collection back on display just days after 20 of them were seized by police as part of an investigation that she and her husband had committed a hate crime.

She added: 'The police took 20 of my golli dolls but I've got plenty more of them upstairs. If people don't like them and feel offended by seeing them then they don't have to come into my pub. It's as simple as that. I'm not going to give into this crazy political correctness. We have customers at this pub from all different races and none of them have ever complained about seeing my gollis on display. Why did the police get involved in this?'

Indeed, a good question, since thay utterly fail at their real job, when needed... 

The White Hart pub is located on the edge of a council estate in Grays notorious for crime and drug dealing.

Ms Ryley and other regulars fumed that police rarely attend when called out for 'real' crimes and slammed the presence of six police officers who removed the golliwogs from the pub.

So what prompted the action now, given a previous complaint to the council had been seen off? 

The landlady claimed that the complaint was made by a customer who entered the pub three weeks ago and asked her to remove the golliwogs as he found them offensive.

She said: 'None of the regulars had ever seen him before, he's not from around here and doesn't even drink in this pub. He walked in, took some pictures, complained and then left.'

We will, of course, never know his name. He'll be protected by the Essex plod better than any supergrass... 

A Home Office source said: 'The Home Secretary's views have now been made very plain to Essex Police so they're under no illusions.

'Police forces should not be getting involved in this kind of nonsense. It's about tackling anti-social behaviour, stopping violence against women and girls, attending burglaries and catching criminals – not seizing dolls.'

Over to you, Essex plaod. What will you do now, meekly accept defeat, or double down and send more officers to remove these new dolls?  

Oh, We All Understand Why, Mrs Ryley...

Benice Ryley, 61, was quizzed by six officers after police received an anonymous complaint about The White Hart Inn in Grays, Essex.

She and husband Chris, 64, who is currently abroad, had displayed their collection of 15 dolls after receiving them as gifts from customers over the years.

Dolls..? Well, yes, they are creepy, with their dead eyes and blank stares (rather like Essex coppers, come to think of it!) but does it require a police res...

Oh. 

On Tuesday, Essex Police raided the pub and confiscated the dolls, saying they were investigating a 'hate crime'. They also took a book about the history of golliwogs.

CCTV shows six officers walk into the bar and question Mrs Ryley at a table. One inspects the bar before taking the dolls and putting them in an evidence bag.

Why? Did they swab them? Get them forensically examined? Is this the first such complaint? 

Reader, it is not: 

The raid comes after the couple refused to remove the black-faced dolls after the local authority received a complaint in 2018.

Thurrock Council launched an investigation after a whistleblower claimed the golliwogs were offensive and represent a racially aggravated crime. But Mr Ryley said the dolls were 'here to stay' and his no nonsense approach paid off after the council confirmed no further action will be taken.

So what happened in the last five years? Or has it taken that long for Essex plod to reach the bottom of the paperwork pile?  

Mrs Ryley said today: 'I don't understand why we have to go through all this again.'

Because the progressives don't like to lose, Mrs Ryley. 

'We have the police taking away information that is literally the history of this country. And why?

'We are quite happy to call them dolls, not golliwogs, but even the officer who wrote down the inventory as he was taking them away described the larger one as a golliwog and the others as golly dolls.

'So even the police don't know what to call them. I understand that some people may not like them and they are entitled to that view, but they don't have to come into the pub.

'As far as we are aware we are not breaking any laws by displaying them, and that was proved last time when we were investigated. If we were not breaking the law then, why are we breaking the law now?'

A very good question. One that Essex plod should have to answer. 

A spokesman for Essex Police said: 'We are investigating an allegation of hate crime in Grays reported to us on 24 February.

'On Tuesday, 4 April, we attended a location off Argent Street, Grays, and seized several items in connection with our investigation.'

Pointlessly. Don't you have better things to do? 

Nice Sentence...

...but who is going to monitor it?

Two men have been banned from owning dogs for three years under new get-tough powers designed to target poachers.

On Tuesday, February 21, Colchester magistrates handed David Hilden and Tyron Young the disqualification orders in what is believed to be a national first after the pair each admitted a charge of daytime trespass in pursuit of game.

Are they local boys who just like dags..? 

The court heard both men had travelled to the Saffron Walden area from south London with dogs which were to be used to poach game.

From Croydon, I'll bet. 

Investigating officer PC Nigel Wright, of Essex Police’s rural engagement team, said: “The poaching of wild animals is extremely cruel but it can also cause a lot of damage to crops and farmland, which is very costly for the land owner or farmer.

“Dogs are integral to poaching and I am delighted that the magistrates were able to use this new legislation to deprive these two poachers of any access to dogs, even just walking someone else’s, for the next three years.

“We look forward to working with the CPS to have these disqualification orders applied in cases of hare coursing and other poaching offences in the future.”

But unless someone monitors them, how will you know that they are effective? 

Watch Those Subject Pronouns Shift!

"I, I, I..."

But it's a tough job, what if you meet resistance?

"Did I say 'I'? I mean 'We'..."

A New Low For Essex Police...

A deranged pervert at large, and the community work together to raise the alarm:

Social media has been flooded with reports of the man wearing Belfairs Academy uniform in the vicinity of the Highlands Boulevard school this week, as well as on a bus in the area while children travelled home. Photos have also been posted online of the man wearing a Milton Hall Primary School uniform.

School uniform supplier Paul’s School and Workwear in Southchurch Road says it has received multiple emails and calls regarding the individual. In a post on Facebook, a spokesman for the business said it had not sold him the Belfairs uniform but added: “He was in store this week purchasing a grey box pleat skirt that he said was for his granddaughter, he is now banned from the shop.”

What do those tasked with the protection of society do? 

Essex Police has identified the individual and officers from its community policing team have discussed the incident with the man in question.

'Discussed'..? 

The force says it understands the community’s concerns, but the man is not a risk to the public.

*blinks* But wait! There's more! 

Police have also urged residents to stop sharing photographs of the individual on social media.

What?! 

An Essex Police spokesman said: “We would like to remind the public that continued circulation of images on social media could have a detrimental personal impact on those concerned and we would ask that the public refrain from circulating images.”

Yes, as unbelievable as it sounds the police are concerned for his welfare.

"I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion..."

PC Kira Wealls, 20, had just joined Essex Police when she appeared in a promotional video showing her transition from Tesco worker to proud beat officer.

Talk about scraping the barrel... 

However, in June she called bosses to say she was too unwell to do her night shift in Chelmsford.

Oh. Well, it happens. Right, Reader?  

In fact, she went to Newmarket, Suffolk, and became involved in an altercation over a jug of Pimm’s.

 Not a bottle of Lambrini or WKD? Wow! She must be from the posh part of Essex!

Wealls approached police at the racecourse and told them what had happened – and that she was an officer with another force. Essex Police were informed and Wealls quit after she was put on restricted duties and told she faced a misconduct hearing.

I don't think Tesco are going to want you back, frankly... 

Her mother, Alison, said at the family home in Colchester yesterday that Wealls had moved to Turkey. She claimed her daughter had ‘mental health problems’ brought on by the stress of her job but she did not want bosses to know.

Sure, sure... 

Her daughter resigned on the advice of a Police Federation representative.

When they won't back you, you know you're doomed! 

But who on earth decided that what Essex Police needed was 'representation' for the Essex airhead bimbo demographic? And are they still in their job? 

"Don't Blame Us, She Made Us Do It!"

An Essex woman made 10 false rape claims against two men leading to 60 police investigations - which eventually found that the men were not in the area at the time.

'Eventually..?

Cathy Richardson, 35, from Westcliff, made a series of allegations against two men between January and May 2021, and has now been sentenced to more than five years in prison.

Essex Police bosses have slammed her actions, which they say had a 'huge impact' on the lives of the men she accused and resulted in wasted police time and resources.

You caused that! You wasted your own time and resources, and why? Because no matter how many times this happens, you cleave to a discredited policy: 

Detective Inspector James Holmes, who led the investigation, said: 'Whenever an allegation of rape or sexual assault comes to us, our starting point is to believe the person making that claim.'

Still, you've learned your lesson now. Right? 

'I sincerely hope this case does not put off victims of rape and sexual assault, who really need our help, from reporting offences to us.

I want to reassure you that you will be believed, we will support you, and we will investigate what has happened.'

/facepalm 

A Few Things Missing From This Story...

Watson, 37, was taken into custody following the incident and was caught in possession of a lock knife and drugs when he was searched by officers.

He went on to admit charges of possession of a knife blade and or sharp pointed article in a public place and possession of a controlled drug of class B.

But during sentencing this week, Watson was on the receiving end of high praise from Judge Shane Collery.

No, not another barmy judge - for once! The 'incident' referred to was something quite different to what you might think... 

Judge Collery said: “It’s an unusual case and in many ways the public should be thanking him for his actions that day.

“I think you deserve that thanks, you didn’t know the guns were fake and you thought there was a real risk to the public.

“It was a brave thing to do.

“You and another man were going past on bikes and saw this man with the firearms and stopped and challenged. At the time, police saw that there was a tussle as you were trying to get the arms off him.”

And were the police grateful for this help from the public, as they always claim? Reader, this is Essex Police, and they were not... 

The court was told Watson had been summoned to crown court because he had originally been charged with affray. However, the charge was dropped.

Presumably even the CPS realised their chances of getting a conviction were slim once the jury heard the full details, if the idiot plod low-hanging fruit pickers didn't!

Watson was handed an absolute discharge for the knife possession and a £20 fine for carrying the drugs. He was also ordered to pay a £34 victim surcharge.

We aren't told what the nutter carrying the two fake firearms in public got. I mean, even Essex Police aren't so useless they didn't charge him, surely? 

Just One...?

It's a criminal, not a Cornetto!

Essex Police have made one arrest following road disruption by protesters on the M25 throughout today (Wednesday, July 20).

Road users have been left stranded in miles of congestion after members of the Just Stop Oil campaign demonstrated on the gantry above the road near to the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge that links Essex and Kent. It resulted in the M25 having to be closed between Junctions 30 and 31 shortly after 11am.

Serious delays have been felt all the way back into Essex, stretching as far back as Junction 28 (Brentwood).

And why only one arrest, then? What do you have to say for yourselves? 

Chief Inspector Anna Granger said: “I want to thank the public for their patience and understanding while we dealt with this incident. We are well prepared for incidents of disruption on our roads and to keep Essex moving, and we enacted these quickly. This was a challenging incident to resolve due to its nature but we resolved it as quickly and safely as possible.”

The public aren't impressed. As well they might not be: 

 If this is what Essex Police think they are 'well prepared for', what would it look like if they weren't, I wonder..?

Don't You Have Any Detectives, Essex Police?

Mr Chaplin, 80, lost one of his two Labradors last year and to cheer him up his daughter Anita Ayres had bought him a new puppy named Troy for his birthday. The two dogs were "his whole world" after his wife died 10 years ago and walked them on the beach at Grays regularly.

Oh, god, you know what's coming, don't you? 

George Chaplin was bitten on the arm as he tried to stop a stranger's dog from crushing his puppy's skull in its jaws at Grays Beach, Essex, at the weekend.

Unfortunately, he was unable to save the puppy, and it passed away by the time he was able to reach the vet.

Poor man...and of course, typical response from the irresponsible bitch on the other end of the killer's leash: 

He was approached by a woman who had a white English Bull Terrier on a lead. The woman initially chatted to him, before he opened the door to the car. Out jumped Troy and, according to Anita, the terrier immediately seized the puppy with its head in its jaws. The owner was allegedly struggling to control the dog and so Mr Chaplin went to intervene, only to be bitten on the arm.

When the dog finally let Troy go the owner apologised before walking off, leaving Mr Chaplin to get the bleeding puppy to a vet. Sadly, by the time they reached one Troy was already dead and Mr Chaplin needed hospital treatment for the bite on his arm.

His daughter has done what we pay the police to do, probably because if she didn't, they wouldn't: 

Anita has been appealing far and wide on social media for information about the attack and so far her post has been shared by over 2,700 people on Facebook. Thanks to this support she has been able to pass on some information to police.

Essex Police said: "We received a call reporting a puppy had died after being bitten by another dog on Grays Beach at around 7am on Saturday, June 18. We need anyone who saw anything or has any footage to contact us quoting incident 538 of June 18."

Utterly useless... 

Is This A Photo Of The Dog In Question..?

...or the owner? I can't tell!

A spokesman for Essex Police said: "We would like to speak to her in connection with our investigation into an incident in which a man was bitten by a dog.

"At around 11.30am on Thursday 6 January a dog, possibly a staff or mastiff-type dog, was tied up outside a shop in Clay Hill Road, Basildon. As a man walked past, the dog bit his arm."

It's always the same type of dog in question, isn't it? 

Another Day, Another Typical Case...

A police spokesman said: "We are investigating whether this incident is linked to another in Sandpit Lane in October.

"We want to speak to a man in connection with the incident.

"He is described as white, stocky, between 5ft 10ins tall and 6ft tall, with a facia (sic) tattoo, cropped hair and unshaven, and wearing grey tracksuit trousers, black boots, and a black jacket with a hooded top underneath."

So, your typical 'American Bulldog' owner, then? Albeit most recently, they've been female. But who am I to presume gender?

And another case:

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “We are investigating an incident where a dog died after it was reported to have been attacked by another dog.

“It happened in Chalkwell Park in Westcliff at around 3.30pm on 27 December.

“A Bichon Friese was injured and, sadly, later died.

“Our enquiries are ongoing.

“We need anyone who saw anything or has any CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage to contact us.”

Translation: "Do our job for us, we're too lazy and don't really understand what 'investigate' means.."

Tim Winnifrith Poses A Question We All Should Be Asking...

"When, as a journalist, I have received industrial scale phone harassment or death threats,the Police have refused to do anything.Yet I am meant to celebrate them spending my taxes on this?

Does the Police Force wonder for a second why it is no longer respected by so many of us?"

What is 'this'? Glad you asked, Reader:

 

Turns out that if you point out that 'celebrating Trans Day of Remembrance' isn't really something the police should be doing, given the lack of people murdered because of their identity vs the number of people murdered because of greed or sheer criminality, the police take umbrage. 

It's almost as if they know they don't have the confidence or respect of the law-abiding members of the public any more. And more to the point, feel they no longer need to care.

They Should Be Less Concerned With Accusations Of 'Institutionalised Homophobia'...

Detective Constable Yinka Adeyemo-Phillips had previously given evidence to say Mr Whitworth confirmed the handwriting was Daniel’s.

Andrew O’Connor QC, counsel for the coroner, asked if he remembered saying that. Mr Whitworth replied: “I definitely did not say it was.

“Me and (my partner) Mandy looked at it. Cannot confirm it was Daniel’s handwriting.

“We sent it straight off to Ricky in Gravesend to look at it and he could not confirm it was Daniel’s either.

“Anyway, she said, ‘Is this Daniel’s handwriting?’, and I said ‘I cannot confirm it is Daniel’s handwriting, I don’t know’.”

...and far more with incompetence and lying. 

Advice 'For Protection' Is, I Feel, A Bit Lacking...

An elderly woman has been left with facial injuries after being attacked outside her home by a dog.

The victim required hospital treatment following the shocking incident, which happened outside Wimborne House retirement housing complex in Marine Parade, Dovercourt.

It is understood that the victim approached the dog to pet it after it went up to her gate, but the dog turned and launched the vicious attack on her.

A daft thing to do, but people of her generation probably aren't used to today's weapon dogs owned by scum... 

Essex Police has launched an investigation to the incident, which happened on Saturday at about 12.45pm.

A spokesman for the force said: “We are investigating following an incident in Harwich where it was reported a woman had been injured by a dog.

“It was reported the woman had sustained injuries to her face and neck which required hospital treatment.

“Our enquiries are ongoing.”

Well, at least they say they are looking into it. Though with Essex Police, one always wonders just how hard...

But step forward, local 'expert', to give her words of wisdom (and promote herself into the bargain, naturally!): 

Joe Nutkins, a dog trainer based in Ardleigh, explained there are unwritten rules to dog ownership.

“This is, of course, a terrible incident and you really have to feel for the poor lady,” she said.

Do you? Seems more like you feel for the poor little confued doggy-woggy... 

Mrs Nutkins explained there are three main factors which invite a dog onto you which can lead to them getting carried away - eye contact, speech and touch.

She added: “If you can cross your arms and look up to the sky it will usually slow them down and make them double think what they’re doing.”

I guess whether you can do this depends on whether your arms are free of Fido hanging off one... 

“It removes the green light. Tucking hands your hands in will stop them getting bitten and stops us flapping our arms about and making the situation worse.”

Won't it just mean Fido goes for your legs instead? 

“If we look away from them it makes them think we are boring, and shows we’re not trying to play or make a challenge to them.”

So, folks, there you are; the next time some inbred's savage mutt is charging at you, slaver dripping from its jaws, just look away! I'm sure it'll work like a charm.
