18 October (Part 3) - Whoever said the wheels of justice turn slowly had been dealing with the Met
Today has seen another update from the police in connection with their
investigation into Bexley council’s obscene blogging activities. Once again they
do not give any clue about a possible connection with
the News Shopper’s report
on ex-cabinet member Peter Craske. The only link is that
‘their man’ and ‘ours’ were both first arrested on 21st June 2012. Even that overstates the
known facts, Elywn Bryant and I do not even know if the blogger was a man.
The new message says someone remains on police bail. Until when it doesn’t say.
Statements have been obtained and communications devices are being
forensically examined - well I should hope so after 16 months - and advice is
awaited from the Crown prosecution Service. As you can see, the police are
masters of revealing nothing at all. Their excuse is that potential witnesses must
be kept in the dark but it invites speculation.
One is that Teresa O’Neill will be interfering in the course of justice as she
has done so many times before and that ultimately the establishment must triumph
over the plebs. The other is that if someone is charged with the
offence it will look even worse for the previous investigating team who were
dismissive of the crime and provided a false report as to why the investigation
could not be pursued. So to protect their own there will be no charge. All idle
speculation of course, facts are in short supply.
