....endemic corruption in the British Police was undermining Public Confidence in the Police.  In 2011 had anything changed to give the public more confidence in the integrity of the police? We hardly think so. From the dirty dealings of Metropolitan Police officers with the News of the World and Newscorp, to the shameful collapse of the trial of former South Wales police officers in the Lynette White Affair. Add to that the death of Ian Tomlinson at the G20 and the likelihood that the officer charged with that death will soon walk free, not to mention the police behaviour in the Tottenham Riots. In that last incident the shooting of Mark Duggan showed how the police are prepared to lie to cover up the actions of their own officers and how the IPCC will go to any lengths to aid and abet that cover up.

Add to this mix the news from the BBC that more than 130 Met Officers were allowed to resign last year rather than face misconduct charges and we can see that since the 1999 HMIC report, brought out in response to the Stephen Lawrence murder, not much has changed in respect of cover ups, corruption and doing anything rather than investigate or even prosecute police officers in the UK. The sad truth is that nothing will change in the future either given the entrenched us and them attitudes of most police officers. They seem to operate on two precepts which are that anyone who is not a police officer is some kind of criminal who just has not been caught yet and that police officers them selves are above the law.

There are also serious failings in both the IPCC and local police authorities who all seem to feel that it is better to defend the police from everything rather than seek to have a police force that all law abiding citizens can believe in. The problem they just don't seem to get is that by being corrupt and racist they alienate those very people that they need to help them to solve crime. For those of us outside the police it seems sometimes that they deliberately recruit the most stupid of society that cannot see beyond their own immediate environment. In large parts of the United Kingdom the police are seen as the enemy. The truth is that police officers are simply ordinary people in uniform doing a particularly difficult job, For most officers they have to do what clowns like Fahy tell them to do even though they know it is yet another publicity stunt by Commandant Le Farce which has little to do with preserving law and order. You will have noticed the absence of Le Farce from the media in recent weeks which tells us that even his own colleagues have got fed up with his inane pronouncements and rampant self publicism and told him to shut up.

The way that Greater Manchester Police have treated David Abbott's complaints so far is nothing short of shameful but, sadly, all to normal throughout Britain.

What the public need is for ordinary officers to rise through the ranks and not to sell out to the likes of Fahy and the GMPA and keep inside them their own dignity and ideas of what a police force should be. Something that is admired and respected by the law abiding public and feared by the criminals in society. The route to that is simple, no more cover ups, no more lies, if you as a police officer are caught doing something wrong then you have to be punished. Justice must go back to being blind and favour no-one no matter what job they do.

The notion that thousands of police officers are allowed to resign rather than face misconduct charges is appalling. What kind of Misconduct have they committed? How many members of the public have suffered due to this Misconduct?

The only way that the police will regain respect in the United Kingdom, the kind of respect enjoyed by many other forces in other European countries, is to put their own house in order and start applying the laws to themselves, that they try to apply to the rest of us. Try to remember the old saying:" Do unto others others as you would have them do unto you".

Then of course there are the corrupt politicians, Bankers,Media, Judiciary, Lawyers etc etc etc.

Just glad I don't live there.

In reading various sites and articles in recent times it is clear that those who hold the Justice system (which includes the police)  in such contempt are not just some looney fringe but a large and ever increasing cross section  of society. This website is one of many that speaks out against injustice in all spheres of English life. www.fmotl.co.uk/ which is "Free Man on the Land" . Interestingly they produce a list of corrupt police officers which is almost frightening. The list ruins from 2009 to the end of 2011 and shows just how wide spread corruption is amongst large numbers of Police Forces. One of the strange things in this list is the alarming number of sexual crimes committed by police officers.

The list of these officers is attached to this article under attachments.
