Vulnerable Witness 8 – Revised March 19th 2025 12.09

There are 6 key events and dates explaining my history at the hands of corrupt West Mercia and Thames Valley Police.

The first event was my ex brother in law’s ( then West Mercia’s Assistant Chief Constable ) lies concerning a violent stalking event that never took place. There should be no credibility in any court for perjurers and those out to pervert the course of justice. That is all the more so when perjurers are police officers of any rank, let alone Chief Constables. West Mercia Police will do anything to avoid backing down and facing the legal consequences of what they and the CPS insist happened over the weekend of October 3^rd / 4^th /5^th 2008 and the resultant Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker. Under my ex brother in law and his friend Chief Constable Paul West’s authority, these vile fabricated records placed on my car and driving licence ( October 9^th 2008), were backed by my ex wife and her family. This was revealed from their ex post facto perjurious 2010 statements extracts previously published on this site – and there is more – in respect of alleged offences recorded as fact on what was then called the Police National Computer (PNC). The PNC is now rebranded as the more sinister Police National Data Base (PND).

The second event was West Mercia Police having me prosecuted for losing patience with their two year refusal to disclose their corrupt records. These records were created on the basis of criminal lies from the excuse for a man who became West Mercia Police’s Deputy Constable along with his corrupt lying Chief Constable Paul West. West chose my ex brother in law to follow him from Thames Valley to West Mercia Police. Thames Valley is a corrupt force, its Chief Constable Jason Hogg was suspended on suspicion of gross misconduct last January, then reinstated after the powerful Police Federation leapt to his defence. In May 2011, I was given a restraining order, a suspended 6 month jail sentence and tag to discredit me and criminalise any further complaints from me involving West Mercia and my ex brother in law’s gross misconduct, perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

The third event was in September 2012 when I was arrested by West Mercia’s DS Chatting who travelled all the way from Shrewsbury Police Station with a colleague, to arrest me for telling my local Thames Valley Police Inspector that the only reason she would not stop my ex wife contacting my home was her brother’s high ranking and ex Thames Valley Police status. In 2013, I was convicted of breaching the restraining order and fined £20. West Mercia Police wanted to invoke full penalties of an unlimited fine and 5 years imprisonment.

The fourth event was an outcome of the the 2013 prosecution at Birmingham Crown Court. During this process, DS Chatting told me that I would never know the identity of the ‘officer on the ground’ ( authorising officer; who would have been CC Paul West ) regarding the nefarious Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker and life destroying criminal records initiated by my corrupt ex brother in law. In the process of these proceedings, a senior prosecutor from West Midlands CPS sent me a large 1500 page file ( technical term is ‘ a bundle’ ). This included e mail correspondence between West Mercia Police’s Chief Superintendent Pepper and the then Inspector Garside of Thames Valley Police. This was collated under the operational title ‘Managing Robert Cook.’ One message featured Pepper and Garside sharing a joke that I was behaving like his 5 year old son.

However, the most interesting revelation came in the form of statements taken in late 2010 regarding alleged serious violence and stalking carried out in my ex brother in law and his wife’s West Mercia Police area. Both of these parties were former Thames Valley Police officers so there was a seriously incestuous relationship between West Mercia and Thames Valley.

It interested me that these statements, which included one from my ex wife who lived, like myself, in Thames Valley jurisdiction. This 22 page document included the nonsense that my then 20 year old son was home on the night of March 9^th 2008, because something had gone wrong at school. So he was supposedly there to witness an alleged violent row caused by me, when it was in fact the occasion when my wife deliberately broke a wine glass and cornered me, ranting about me being too slow to wish her a happy birthday and demanding more wine, before going on to violently assault my mother. Edward was not present, being shut away in his room for the previous 5 years and had not been to school since age 15. My ex wife lied to Bucks County Council, where she was ironically head of Governor and Young Peoples Services, that Edward was being home educated – of course her daily sexual encounters with him could be construed as a form of education !!!!

Then there was her interesting account that my severely OCD suffering son Edward who she had shut away since age 15, made a near 200 mile public transport journey to meet his brother somewhere in Shropshire, safe from seeing me because I frightened him. That was made by a 200 mile journey back. Apart from the obvious absurdity, unquestioned by West Mercia Police, why did they both make such a long journey separately when they could have met at whatever bus or train station used for departure ? Why go all that way, especially when you have been shut away for 5 years ? My ex wife’s paternal family have a history of mental illness and her Uncle died in a Bodmin mental asylum.

My ex brother in law added to the defamation by alleging on one of his 2010 statements, hidden from me until 2013, that I had trashed the marital home on March 16^th 2008 and driven my family out. Interestingly, I have never been arrested or otherwise interviewed for these alleged offences. My ex brother in law and his family lived 158 miles away. My eldest son was at home on March 16^th 2008 and has never been interviewed on the matter. However, my ex brother in law, his wife and sister have all gone on record in those 2010 statements and on fabricated records supporting the malicious Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker, stating that this son was ‘just like his father’ and a party to my alleged crimes.

My in law’s previously withheld statements of October 2010 beg the question why such serious offences were being denied by West Mercia Police and ACRO until forced out of them by my internet postings following a two year battle for disclosure and a further prosecution abusing the malicious restraining order based on fabricated evidence in 2013. Those statements included the devastating lies of my brother in law and his family suffering a three day siege, afraid to go out because my youngest son Edward, then 20, had reported back that his brother had read out a letter threatening his uncle and family with violence and that I had raged and threatened my brother in law with harm for many years before the divorce. My ex sister in law asserted on record that Edward had returned home frightened for his uncle. My ex brother in law went further, stating that I had actually met Edward and made my threats directly to him. All the family statements contained lies and contradictions, referring to the alleged siege lasting from October 3^rd / 4^th / 5^th 2008.

This begged the questions why my ex brother in law, who said he was at home at the time and saw me within 100 metres of his home, implying that there was a restraining order in place at the time, why he , as an experienced senior anti terrorist officer and fire arms expert, did not a) Make a photographic or video record b) Why he did not use his panic alarm and call for back up.c) Why over a 3 day period of alleged terror at the mercy of a violent lunatic, he did not confront me in the first instance ? This man, a serving Chief Constable is a liar, corrupt, self centred and fantasist whose criminal misconduct has ruined my sons and my life all because he had a grudge against me for arguing with his interfering mother and because he had financial problems ( I had been asked to help them out by downsizing to release funds in September 2007 ) and Edward’s vulnerability was being exploited for extra divorce pay out as a life long dependent. His sister has lied on court record that Edward travelled nearly 200 miles to Shropshire and back to meet his brother away from me ( 400 miles total with no details of travel or accommodation ) when in fact Edward, then aged 20, had already informed his brother that he was being ‘sent away to live with’ these in laws for ‘a very long time.’ It can be proven that Edward had no need to travel to Shropshire because he was already shut up in my soon to be ex brother in law’s rural home in Cleobury Mortimer Shropshire. My ex wife is a perjurer.

The whole sick and disgusting business begs three more questions : a) Why would I go on the rampage stalking and threatening my them West Mercia Police’s Assistant Chief Constable and family with violence at a time when divorce proceedings were well under way ? b) Why did not West Mercia Police interview me about these peculiar allegations at the time, rather than deny there were any issues until my persistent requests for disclosures eventually elicited an admission of the PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker in November 2009 ? c) Why did my further persistence to discover what it was for in 2010, resorting to the internet, and a leaflet campaign, in utter desperation, provoke their prosecution and restraining order cover up in May 2011 ?

The fifth event began in 2014 when I took the new evidence from the 2013 prosecution to make the following allegations against my ex brother in law, his family et al. They were a) Perjury b) Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice c) Misconduct in a public office.

Jason Hogg, currently under investigation as Thames Valley Police Chief Constable for gross misconduct, was senior Thames Valley Police operational officer, as Deputy Chief Constable at the time his force chose to prosecute me rather than investigate my criminal allegations. His force and the CPS were not pleased when I was acquitted of breaching the 2011 Restraining Order by dint of making these allegations. As it looked like the CPS were going to lose, after 5 pre trial hearings, the CPS changed tack and began telling Aylesbury Crown Court that I was guilty of serious domestic violence. I became aware of this when the court’s rather Dickensian Judge shouted out that “These domestic violence cases are getting worse and I intend to do something about it. I need to be able to sleep at night.”

Unfortunately for the CPS, the judge was no fool. They had no evidence that I had breached the nefarious restraining order because I had the evidence to support my allegations, some of which has been recently published on these Death After Life In Police State Britain pages. The Restraining Order does not legally prevent me from telling the truth.

As for domestic violence, whatever the judge had been told, there was no evidence because the only domestic violence in my home, was perpetrated by my then wife against me and my mother. During the seventh pre trial hearing in May 2016, the judge gave the CPS two hours to find a prosecution file. He lost patience after 40 minutes and reconvened to find me not guilty on all six charges.

The six charges were made out of me making the same complaint and request for an investigation six times. The last message added a warning that these matters were not going to go away. The judge expressed his anger at six charges being made out of the same ignored e mail sent six times because Hogg’s Thames Valley Police did not want to investigate and so expose high level police corruption and dishonesty. The CPS barrister protested to the Judge that he could not acquit me because I could come back. The Judge reminded him them that it was his court and up to him what he did. He fined the CPS the maximum and awarded me costs.

The sixth event : Throughout the 2016 series of Crown Court hearings I had been struggling to hold down a demanding HGV job working very long hours six days a week with a fortnightly Monday rest day. I had been devastated by this latest episode of high level police directed harassment. My son and I needed it to end. So I renewed my request to James Hogg’s Thames Valley Police for an investigation of my allegations based on irrefutable evidence from West Midlands CPS in 2013. They threatened further prosecution.

I gave into the stress and took a potentially lethal overdose of temazepam and was taken, unconscious to Milton Keynes Hospital. By this time two police forces and my ex in laws had totally rewritten my life on police and medical records, destroying my identity. My ex wife had already done serious harm to my sense of self, inspiring my 2003 published novel ‘Man Maid Woman’ and consultations with a psychiatrist specialising in transgender. My wife had discouraged me from continuing sex change treatment and bought me a new wedding ring to replace the one I had thrown away. I have already explained why that fixed nothing -in particular what she was doing to Edward and her mother wanting him institutionalised. However, it was not until my acquittal in 2016 that I made the decision to transition. The rights and wrongs of such a course of action are beside the point here. My decision came following West Mercia and Thames Valley Police having already destroyed my two heterosexual relationships in 2011 and 2014. When they became aware of my transsexual decision through my GP and Operation ‘Managing Robert Cook’ they intensified their harassment.

Dr Ramasamay of what was then Norden House Surgery, showed me a letter from Thames Valley’s Reading Police Station. I had been patched through to that station with a repeated warning of the danger my ex wife posed to Edward. This followed an argument with my eldest son who felt that I was making excuses for my ex wife and hiding from the truth. The Reading Police Station letter to my GP asserted that I was mentally ill and alcoholic. This was one of what the London Gender Identity Clinic’s head urologist Leighton Seal described as ‘five interesting letters’ passed to my GP Surgery to undermine my sex change treaatment with instrictions to inform Whiteleaf and the GIC. It was forwarded under Thames Valley instruction to him. The message was that I was such a mentally ill delusional long term alcoholic that my liver would not cope with female hormone treatment.

This begs the question why my Norden House GP and Dr C R Ramsay referred me for gender reassignment in the first place. Obviously, in between times, Thames Valley Police using their self appointed street triage, had overloaded my GP practice and Whiteleaf with their malicious input masquerading as facts. That input can only have grown out of my ex brother in law, his family and his West Mercia Police lies, malice and fabricated records- with their ongoing need to present me as insane.

This message struck so deep that my GP Dr Rahl Kamble still refuses to accept that I am not alcoholic in spite of having passed 34 years of normal annual readings for liver function as part of my annual review for hypothyroidism. Too many doctors and police careers have been invested in labelling me a long term alcoholic ,violent paranoid schizophrenic bi polar delusional psychotic for them to back off now.

Responding to the previously mentioned malicious communication alleging that I was a gay whore working for my eldest son and his criminal associates in a home based brothel, officially dated as posted in Northampton on December 12^th 2017 when I could prove being hundreds of miles away driving a truck with a co driver, PC Bellamy, under senior operational orders, organised a stake out of my rural home followed by a seven officer dawn raid on my home. The raid date was February 5^th 2018. I was asleep on my fortnightly HGV rest day when I heard the routine sequence of six heavy handed thumps on my front door, then a man shouting “Open up. It’s the police.” Followed by another six thumps, a second order to open up, before the thumping started again, followed by the warning that they would break the door in.

All seven swarmed into the house led by diminutive officer Bellamy and a hard bitten woman who, She later told me she was from Nottingham,where “If you haven’t had an STD you haven’t lived”. Bellamy arrested me for breach of the nefarious restraining order by allegedly sending pictures and vodeos of ‘personal and private nature’ with anonymous covering typed letters bearing the name Oliver Lazar, to my ex in law’s and their public service employers. I was arrested and detained for nearly seven hours in a dirty smelly cell before interrogation. Computers, mobile phones, my HGV driving documents and debit card where confiscated and retained by Thames Valley Police until the following September.

They found no evidence of a brothel and had no evidence to link me with what was obviously malicious communication against me. This begs the question; why with gender surgery referral imminent did Bellamy’s paperwork refer to Robert Cook and why would I have sent the offensive material to jeaporadise my transgener completion ? Bellamy’s answer was standard Thames Valley Police. According to him, it was down to me being a paranoid schizophrenic with an unexplained grudge against my eldest son as my alleged pimp. Thames Valley Police, working with West Mercia were breaking new ground with their fabricated evidence and desperation to discredit and dispose of me, once and for all.

My GP passed me a copy of the letter where Thames Valley Police informed him that these alleged offences were matters of fact. Signed by Bellamy, it advised notifying Whiteleaf and the London Gender Identity Clinic (GIC). It was this deliberate malicious misinformation that persuaded the GIC that I had committed the alleged offences and brought the Whiteleaf’s Thames Valley Police directed Dr C R Ramsay on to the scene. His job was to give professional credibility to West Mercia and Thames Valley Police malice and gross misconduct.

That and events leading up to my overdue Genital Reconstruction Surgery referral and continueance as GIC patient were made subject to accepting Ramsay’s apparently one hour diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, bi polar-ism, delusional, bi polar, long term alcoholic and more likely to die by misadventure than suicide. and continuance as a GIC patient Thames Valley Police advised the CPS to call the GIC Chief Psychiatrist to testify as to my insanity. This was even though he had never met me, so therefore expected to respond to Thames Valley Police and other third party input. All of this was happening furing a two year period when my lawyer, CDMK, had accepted my guilt of breaching the nefarious May 2011 Restraining Order, conspiring with the CPS et al to present me as seriously insane and unfit to plea – this facing a trial in my absence on the basos of their ‘agreed facts’. How Stasi is that ?

Given that Ramsay added a recommendation for MAPPA listing me as a violent sex offender needing a public protection order, matters were very serious. There was no arguing with officialdom. I refused the anti psychotics and the diagnosis. So I was discharged from the GIC. Having lived as a woman for over two years, my hormone treatment was stopped and the effects were traumatic, social, economic, physical, psychological and ongoing.

More to come on this in Vulnerable Witness 9, including being ordered to accept Ramsay’s extreme diagnosis and powerful anti psychotic zombie drugs. That is why I returned to internet publicity and was arrested, on August 24^th 2020, for once again reporting the truth. Very kindly ( sic ) Ramsay noted that ‘Roberta doesn’t need hospital yet.’ He also said that I could not possibly be allowed to see all the files held on me because they would upset me.

An ill founded malicious Restraining Order designed to block further complaints, requests for disclosures or complaints to the IOPC, when clearly based on alleged victims inordinate unquestionable police powers, perjury, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and criminal misconduct in public office, is bound to provoke reasonable excuse and legal confrontations, as we saw in 2013 and 2015. The extreme social, economic and health consequences of my ex brother in law et al criminal lies while interferring in my divorce out of malice, covering for his sex abuser sister and for financial gain, have been ongoing since the outset in 2008. How else can this crooked cop and family members explain themselves and the damage they have done ?. The CPS are welcome to add this to their proescution file, since they banned it from my defence in 2022. It all needs talking about in Crown Court because it is all true and therefore not a violation of their precious restraining order.

Vulnerable Witness 7

Image Caption This photograph was taken on my first visit to Dr Russell Reid in 2003 after I had told my wife that our marriage was over, and thrown my wedding ring away, because I could not cope with her and her family anymore. She bought me a new wedding ring and persuaded me to change my mind, but her violence and abuse of my vulnerable son Edward continued. I hung myself from a door handle in the early hours of the morning in 2007 after I had accidentally walked in on her and Edward’s intimate relationship, The CPS, my ex in laws,Thames Valley and West Mercia Police have persisted that my claim to being transsexual is a device to escape male jail and evidence of sexual pervserion as well as insanity worthy oF MAPPA record.

My life had become intolerable in 2003. According to my ex wife re writing history in 2008, for interesting reasons, already mentioned and which deserve more elaboration in due course, I spent all my time after escaping from school teaching, getting drunk and beating up my her, my elderly mother and son Edward on a daily basis. This ex post facto account of her married life was seized on eagerly by her brother and family, and used to compile corrupt secret West Mercia Police files. I have rather a long list of published articles and books among other things to put the lie to an account eagerly seized upon by my opportunistic and corrupt ex brother in lw.

This odious individual and his family sought to gain from my divorce by isolating and reinforcing my ex wife’s manipulation, control and abuse of my youngest son Edward. He was using his authority as third in command of West Mercia Police, backed by his Chief Constable Paul West, an old friend and colleague from Thames Valley Police. I have never lived in the West Mercia Police area and would not want to. However, I had been forced by my ex wife, to visit her family there. Paul West supported my soon to be ex in law’s lies that my eldest son and I had been stalking them with violent intent over the weekend of October 3^rd/4^th/5^th 2008. The evidence of their perjury, misconduct in public office and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice is already on this site. It was withheld from me until 2013.

That matter will be subject to my Vulnerable Witness 8 notes to follow. Suffice it to say here that, as soon as I discovered the key evidence of these felonies and demanded my ex brother in law et al be investigated in 2015, Jason Hogg’s Thames Valley Police chose to prosecute me instead, under terms of that Restraining Order created to gag me in May 2011. This was after 2 years of them ignoring my requests for October 2008 disclosures became too much for them and my resort to internet and leaflet publicity forced their hand. The 2013 scenario created by Thames Valley and West Mercia Police’s refusal to stop my ex wife causing alarm and distress by repeatedly contacting my home, was ground breaking. From the two corrupt police forces perspective, the very stressful episode had unintended consequences.

Those consequences fed my 2014-15 criminal allegations against my ex brother in law et al. My May 2016 acquittal, followed by my further request for an investigation. provoked Hogg’s Thames Valley Police choosing extreme and vile harassment. They did so by using fabricated evidence of ‘gay prostitution to discredit me with the London Gender Identity Clinic and engineering another malicious prosecution for breach of their precious restraining order.

To this end, they ramped up my ex brother in law’s West Mercia Police records of alleged long term violent alcohol fuelled insanity and MAPPA status, to justify more gross misconduct,with ever expanding lies that ‘all has been investigated’ and adding fuel to their 2008 ‘Managing Robert Cook’ ongoing Thames Valley and West Mercia Police operation. Over the last 17 years of my police hell, neither West Mercia or Thames Valley Police have agreed to disclose their case files and supporting legal tested evidence. As revealed in the previously published correspondence from OWN solicitors, Thames Valley and West Mercia Police can use the excuse of me being a violent ongoing threat to my ex brother in law on the grounds that everything since 2008 has been part of an ongoing investigation and monitoring operation to protect my ex in laws and the wider public.

So very soon, I will pass exclusive Woldingham Roman Catholic Girls Boarding School and the national press, a link to my website so that they will know the danger, if they are not liars, that the joint West Mercia and Thames Valley Police created by allowing me to have an enhanced CRB and so 24/7 access to the school-sleeping in the year head’s flat, an unlocked landing away from the 9^th year Girls Dormitory. As an experienced and trained journalist, I can just see the headline. The tabloids will love it.

Image Caption. My two sons were inseparable until my ex wife had Edward shut away with her brother and family in October 2008, telling the eldest that he could never see his brother again because he had chosen to live with me during the divorce. There was a high price for arguing with my ex wife who admitted to police, hitting me on four occasions for remarks I had allegedly made about her interferring mother.

Image Caption My ex wife bullying my eldest son during a family outing to Southsea because he did not want to take his cousin George ( with the balloon ) up the Helter Skelter. My youngest son Edward, left, stands apart, visibly traumatised by his mother’s coercive controlling behaviour. Whiteleaf Mental Health experts and my GP refused to consider my despairing concerns, agreeing with my domineering asertive ex wife, that I was Edward’s problem. My ex wife and her brother joined forces to have Edward sectioned to Whiteleaf in August 2020. She had signed a contract to help Edward kill himself in 2001, if his life got any worse. Thames Valley Police have never been interested in investigating anything I have alleged regardless of evidence, their priority being their joint forces MAPPA West Mercial Police and Whiteleaf Operation. Managing Robert Cook. So entrenched is the high level police cover up operation that for the purposes of their latest prosecution of me for writing about it, the CPS persuaded my incompetent and corrupt lawyer CDMK, that I am unfit to plea and guilty by default on the grounds of extreme insanity. This situation has been socially, psychologically and financially very difficult to live with. God knows what they have done to or with Edward, assuming he is still alive. Edward phoned his brother from the mental hospital to ararnge a visit. As soon as my ex wife and her family found out about the meeting, Edward disappeared without trace and with the connivance of Whiteeaf and Hogg’s Thames Valley Police. That was a repeat of their response when my sons met at Edward’s behest and arrangement on October 2nd 2008.

Image Caption With my beloved sons. Edward left, in the Chilterns 1996 . According to my ex wife and her family, I inflicted years of alcohol fuelled abuse on mine and her family, with the exception of my eldest son who helped me, for the last 20 years of our marriage. My top cop ex brother in law went on record that I was a long term violent drunkard and that my eldest son ‘is just like his father.’

R J Cook March 16^th 2025

More to come, including 2013-19, my ex partner’s Claire’s Law Application, Hertfordshire Police and telling my ex partner Lucille Jane Fletcher, that I was going to pursue transgender treatment. She replied. “You can have your sex change as long as you keep your penis.” To this, I replied “That is rather defeating the object of the exercise.” She then began a process of advisiing and lendiing me clothes. She took pictures of me dressed in her Potters Bar home, admitting youthful lesbian attractions.

Image Caption Lucille Jane Fletcher took this photograph of me at her Potters Bar home in April 2016 shortly after I warned her about reverting to my sex change plans following the severe stress of being prosecuted for asking Thames Valley Police to investigate my corrupt ex brother inlaw. who was formerly a Thames Valley Police Chief Superintendent. The meta data on this image confirms the date, so police and Fletcher cannot deny that my ex partner was unaware of my intentions. Police had, as with my previous heterosexual relationship, made our relationship impossible. Fletcher was given full details of my in laws. Thames Valley and West Mercia domestic violence, stalking and alcoholism lies as fact.

The final chapter in these notes for my new book, ‘The Vulnerable Witness’ will be an assessmement of the horrifying damage done to myself, my sons and how it killed my mother, all because of a train of events caused by my lying ex brother in law, his family and Chief Constable Paul West – the latter having been refused an extesnion of his contract.

West, my ex brother in law and his wife cannot plead ignorance. All three were experienced former Thames Valley Police officers. There are no excuses. My ex brother in law was and still is a senior anti terrorist officer and police firearms expert. He has asked to be treated as a ‘Vulnerable Witness’ if called to account for himself at my trial. That is to protect him from the press. My concerns regarding this corrupt senior police officer have been written off as ongoing evidence of me being a paranoid delusional bi polar schizophrenic. It is a neat trick.That is life in Police State Britain.

Vulnerable Witness 7 Coming Soon.

Reports on the U.K Police State will be now be made on Anglo – U.S Elite tyranny and Eye on U.K pages until I have finished presenting my notes for the Vulnerable Witness on these Death After Life in Police State U.K pages.

High level police corruption with perjury presented and defended in court, as matters of fact, as with West Mercia Police’s corrupt Chief Constable Paul West obliging his corrupt ACC with a Section 59 Criminal Vehicle Marker against me, with supporting malicious records of violence, stalking and harassment in his West Mercia Police area, and Hogg’s Thames Valley Police fabricatiing evidence that I was working as a gay whore, so as to compromise my transgender treatment and credibility, alleging a history of insanity and alcohlism, then you have serious evidence of a vile Nazi Police State. How else can anyone explain it ? R J Cook

March 11th 2025

Vulnerable Witness 6 – updated 11.56 March 14th 2025

Amazing False Arrest, Incredible Fabricated Evidence & Another Malicious Prosecution With Devastating Impact On My Health Care, Credibility, Finances, Security & Employment – all on the watch of then Deputy Chief Constable Jason Hogg, who was suspended on suspicion of gross misconduct when promoted to Chief Constable. I will be writing in more detail soon, filling in the blanks and analysing the following documents and corrupt Thames Valley Police despicable motivations following my acquittal after being prosecuted for making criminal allegations against my ex brother in law. If Jason Hogg’s Thames Valley Police want to make an issue of this, make sure this and all previous ‘Death After Life’ Accounts’ are added to the blue prosecution file as CPS have barred them from my defence so far. Court needs to hear my story and see the documents, not the prejudged CPS version. I have to say so on here because my lawyer CDMK has been persuaded by the CPS and Thames Valley Police that I am seriously insane, a violent sex offender as insinuated below, and ‘unfit to plea.’ That lawyer has refused to discuss the case with me, offer consultations or study my evidence since taking the case in June 2022. R J Cook.

The above custody front sheet comprises vicious opportunistic malicious lies, defamation and fabrications from James Hogg’s Thames Valley Police’s ambitious lackey, the then Acting Detective Constable Bellamy. Thanks to equally opportunistic feminist bigots like J K Rowling, transsexuals can all be treated as potential rapists and sexual perverts.

So Bellamy has typed up my gender as male and my name as Robert Cook. Bellamy and Hogg’s police force knew or should have known my correct gender status because they had already advised my GP to warn Whiteleaf mental hospital and the London Gender Identity Clinic that I was insane and a long term alcoholic whose liver would not cope with female hormone treatment. They had a vested interest in undermining my transgender status, getting me sacked from my HGV employment, labelling me clincally insane and sexually perverted. Blair’s New Labiur goverment of lawyers and feminists reformed the policing mindset so that profiling became more important than evidence. It has become the new age where a woman’s tears say more than real evidence ever could. This is the real neo Nazism.

Since there was no evidence of investigation or any evidence to connect me with the alleged crime detailed above, malice with intent to pervert the course of justice can be the only logical explanation. But Hogg’s Thames Valley Police covered this up by going silent for three months. I was then prosecuted for my consequent loss of patience, for leaving phone messages that were increasingly unpleasant and apparently alarmed and distressed heroic Thames Valley Police officer Bellamy.

So during an initial Milton Keynes Magistrates Court hearing on September 21st 2021, when Hogg’s Thames Valley Police were prosecuting me for updating my story on this website, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) presented the above police dicuments as facts.

This was done to pervert the course of justice, in order to justify the consequences of sending this and other vile stinking filth to my GP, Whiteleaf and the GIC as revenge over my 2016 acquittal. This was after me being prosecuted for having the audacity in requesting an investigtion into history and misconduct of my corrupt ex brother in law -a former Thames Valley Police senior officer.

The two most notable elements in this OWN Solicitor’s account of a second interview with then PC Bellany ( at least an Inspector by now I guess, due to his connivance in this criminally corrupt practice by Jason Hogg’s Thames Valley Police ) is 1) that there is no mention of disclosure of evidence other than a list of alleged recipients of the material I had never sent 2) That the case remains open indefinitely until they can find ways of justifying their criminal misconduct, taking every opportunity to feed and it as matters if fact, as they did at Milton Keynes Magistrates Court 21/09/21. in their current prosecution of myself for updating theirs and West Mercia Police crimes on this website. As a matter of fact, when Jason Hogg’s corrupt Thames Valley Police decided to prosecute me for my increasingly intemperate inquiries as to this case’s progress, their PC Grainger telephoned to tell me “I have been looking at the file. This job’s going nowehere. When do you want your stuff back ? “

Image Caption : Roberta Jane Cook laying on a friends bed in 2017. This was one of two images, allegedly sent to the protected parties listed on the above disclosure and descrived by the arresting officer Bellamy as being of ‘Robert Cook wearing stockings and suspenders.’ Apparently that was all this rising star of Jason Hogg’s corrupt Thames Valley Police saw when he described the image on his exhibit paperwork. An image of a total stranger was described, without any verification.as ‘My Wife.’ It was later admitted that the porn video did not exist but was added to the list of offences out of malice.

By the time the above image was taken, she had been accepted by the London Gender Identity Clinic as transsexual following Dr Christopher R Ramsay’s 2016 assessment and referral. ‘She’ was then obliged to live as a woman for 2 years before being eligible for genital reconstruction surgery (GRS). Therefore, experience of male reaction and social experience as a woman was essential to my self evaluation over that time period, but I was not obligated to have sex with men. Bellamy’s lack of investigation, obvious malpractice, misconduct and lies is apparent in his and Thames Valley Police’s refusal to accept my formal and legalised transgender status.

However the police have dirty minds. It goes with the job. The above picture was taken by my male friend, Oliver Lasio, a Milton Keynes chef. He e mailed it to me. My ex partner, Lucille Jane Fletecher has admitted on record, uisng my emails for her theatre ticket business and had not taken my rejection of her very well.

Our relationship became impossible after her 2014 Claire’s Law Application to Hertfordshire Police. They passed on all of the ex in laws’ malice, West Mercia and Thames Valley Police cover up lies and malpractice as fact – obvious from preceding documents on this and the previous ‘Death After Life in Police State Britain’ pages, lies. Fletcher told me that Hertfordshire Police were frequent visitors inquiring aboiut me after 2014. Being half Greek had obvious influence on her writing style. She comes across as mildly dyslexic..

The malicious typed letters bearing the name Oliver Lazar, along with the content accompanying the sexual images and alleged pornographic video sent to the above listed forbidden parties, was malicious and vengeful. They had obviously come from Lucille Jane Fletcher. The inclusion of the above image was an absolute giveaway. Only she, Oliver Lasio and myself had ever seen copies. However, Bellamy of Thames Valley Police, in his alleged investigation instantly decided that I had sent the material as revenegeon my eldest son due to some imagined argument.

The badly written letters looked suspiciously like Ms Flecther’s work. After her Claire’s Law Disclosure in 2014, she made clear that she thought that she had the upper hand, believing that I would do anything to sustain our sexy, champagne VIP, extravagant BMW, theatre going, foreign hoilday life style. So she gave me an ultimatum to choose between her and my eldest son. As the second newspaper editor to give me a job, once said; “Robert, I know you have a soul above money, but our accounts department needs your expenses filed on time.” So I ended our relationship in 2017. That was the year the offending letters and sexual images were sent to the forbidden parties.

Those letters made it very clear that their author had a big problem with my highly intelligent and suspicious eldest son whose life had been ruined by his mother, her brother and family along with the efforts of West Mercia and Thames Valley Police to criminalise him. So those malicious porn coverng letters, with no prior police efforts to discusss them with me to get my opinion before making their false arrest in haste for another prosecution to cancel out my 2016 acquittal, were attributed, without evidence, to me.

The content of those letters, not mentioned on the above police paperwork, demonstrated Ms Fletcher’s malice toward my son who she blamed for ending our relationship. The letters described me as working for my ‘aspergic son’ and his criminal associates as gay whore in a home based brothel. They were written in the manner of a well wisher who felt that police and my poor long suffering ex in laws needed warning for appropriate action to be taken. Bellamy and his Thames Valley Police had no interest in my account which is why they did not interview me as the victim of malicious communication or Flether before she had time to wipe the evidence. In these days of suspect profiling, an area of expertise figuring in my ex brother in law’s police sponsored degree, profiling comes before motive and evidence.

As far as Bellamy and his Thames Valley Police agenda setters were concerned, I was out for revenge on my eldest son because I was a paranoid delusional schizophrenic. They were so hell bent on using fabrcated evidence to fit me up, Bellamy showed no interest when I told him that the alleged photograph of my ex wife in lingerie, was of a glamorous middle aged blonde and complete stranger. When I asksed to see the video that had been noted on the arrest paperwork, Bellamy adimitted that it did not exist. Just to sex it all up for court purposes, Bellamy’s prosecution paper work described the above image as ‘Robert Cook wearing stockings and suspenders.’

The purpose was to portray me as a sexual pervert and offender. They had already told informed my GP Dr Kamble that I was insane and so acoholic that my liver would not cope with hormone treatment. He was twice advised, to inform Whiteleaf Mental Hospital and the GIC because they had and still have a problem with me being transsexual. These morons are greatly assisted by affluent femiinist bigots like J K Rowling. They were the reason Dr C R Ramsay was sent to find the evidence to have me forcibly discharged by the Gender Identity Clinic by labelling me an insane gay whore who needed powerful anti psychotic drugs, along with jail or the madhouse. As I have said, the U.K Police have dirty minds. It goes with the job.

When I asked Bellamy from where and when this offensive material was sent, he replied ; “Northampton, post marked December 12th 2017.” When I told him that I was actually a full time HGV driver and that he had arrested me on my fortnightly rest day, with a digital tachograph recorded records along with paperwork and witnesses that I was nowhere near Northampton on December 12th 2017, Bellamy replied : “It must have been a different day.” Bellamy offered no response when I told him, as in my document based response to my ex brother in law’s violent stalking lies, that I could prove where I was on any day he and his colleagues chose..

Interestingly, when shown the offending images and letters posted from Northampton on December 12th 2017, my ex brother in law who had apparently been my victim with these shocking images, gave a ‘no comment’ response to Bellamy’s CID team. Bellamy further justified his and Hogg’s corrupt Thames Valley Police gross misconduct by admitting my home at the end of a country lane, was staked out before he led their 7 officer dawn raid on my home. They took mobile phones, computers, driver’s documents and my debit card, detaining me for a total of 10 hours, 7 in their dirty cold cells. Their stake out was for the purposes of proving me to be a ‘gay whore’ working for my eldest son and his criminal associates. How sick are these overpaid over esteemed police officers

Vulnerable Witness 5

The following is a letter from my so called GP, who has been taking his directions from Thames Valley Police in a vile police hate campaign emanating from my corrupt criminal liar ex brother in law, his one time Chief Constable Paul West, who was refused an extension of his contract, and other corrupt perjurious parties and vested interests. I should, however, thank Kamble for his honesty in admitting that it is up to a higher authority to answer my questions.

The following is the 2,873 word reply to another General Medical Council response to my complaints regarding Dr R Kamble, Dr C R Ramsay and doctors at the GIC who have been directed in their professsional medical misconduct by Thames Valley Police, Kamble and Ramsay. The GMC advised me to complain to the absurdly named Indepedent Office for Complaints against the Police. I had to remind them that corrupt West Mercia Police on the basis of criminal lies, fabricating evidence and CPS withholding evdence in May 2011, that I was given a Restraining Order that included criminalising any complaints to their predecessor organisation ( the IOPC are basically old wine in new bottles ) the Idependent Officer for Police Complaints. They are not independent. Complaints are referred back to the alleged offending police force and, West Mercia’s Deputy Chief Constable (my ex brother in law ) demonstrated, when he did not like their Deborah Glass’s ruling for 3 officers to face gross misconduct hearings for lying about Plebgate, he overruled his own Inspector’s advice to her. The liars kept their jobs.

The following extract follows me, today, informing the GMC that under Thames Valley Police direction, Dr C R Ramsay had judged me to be a paranoid delusional bi polar schizophrenic and long term alcholic. In view of this, Ramsay recommended that I be referred MAPPA as a dangerous violent sex offender and threat to the public.

The next installment will reveal official documents concerning how I was arrested for informing my ex in laws and their employers that I was working as a gay whore, for my eldest son and his criminal associates in a home based brothel. The ambitous acting CID constable Bellamy had apparantely organised a 24/7 stake out of my remote rural home for 3 months before leading a 7 officer dawn raid on my home, February 5th 2018 when I was sleeping. It was my fortnightly legally required HGV driver’s rest day. Fabricated details of this raid were passed to my GP Kamble, Whiteleaf Mental Hospital and the London Gender Identity Clinic. They all lapped it up because as felllow public servants, they are taught to trust these ‘uniformed’ and well respected police officers. As a long time public servant, I well understand their mind set.

“18 Jul 2017 — These arrangements (MAPPA) are designed to protect the public, including victims of crime, from serious harm by sexual or violent and other dangerous offenders. This is the reason I have endured such vile treatment by criminally corrupt West Mercia and Thames Valley Police. This saga begins with Chief Constable S—- P—- C———‘s October 2008 vile despicable stalking, harassment and domestic violence lies in the West Mercia Police Area where he was then third in command and earmarked for the Deputy Chief Constable’s post where he overruled the IPCC, covering for three corrupt colleagues in the Plebgate affair. In these circumstances, the extreme seriousness of Ramsay’s recommendation to make me subject of Multi-agency public protection arrangements (MAPPA) is extremely serious and so demands explanation and full disclosure.

My situation is utterly intolerable. I have and have published overwhelming documentary evidence of high level police corruption and intrusion into my health care to support as many malicious prosecutions as it takes to eventually have me either jailed or sectioned. That is unless they drive me to attempt suicide as I did after my 2016 acquittal and in 2020 when once again, I was forced to go public and face prosecution for telling the truth to power. This is the context in which you should be considering the conduct of the above referenced medical practitioners. At the very least, should you persist in exonerating your medical colleagues, please return me a list of their names followed by hyphens after each name, bearing the words ‘No misconduct in respect of Miss Roberta Jane Cook’s treatment.’ Please follow that with a full explanation regarding each of these people’s behaviour and treatment of myself as their patient. There should be no problem gaining supporting data for a cover up, from West Mercia and Thames Valley Police. This is because both forces persistently claim that ‘it has all been investigated.’ The above referenced medical practitioners have obviously seen some very powerful material. So 17 years on, it is time that material was shared with me.

I thank you for your kind attention.

Yours Sincerely

The Vulnerable Witness 4 By R J Cook

These are the notes for my new book ‘The Vulnerable Witness’. Thames Valley Police Chief Contable Jason Hogg, currently under investiation for gross misconduct involving another senior police officer, still at job due to Police Federation support. As Thames Valley Police’s Deputy Chief Constable Hogg, oversaw me being maliciously prosecuted twice – and then came 2020 when he was promoted Chief Constable rather than permit an investigation and disclosures accordingly. His force are seriously corrupt and I await the outcome of his gross misconduct hearings with great interest..

As a former senior member of my local council, former member of the Buckingham & District Crime Prevention Committee and ex brother in law of a demonsttably criminally corrupt institutionally protected egotistical Chief Constable, I know how the system works. I am monitoring the stats and know that Reading TVP and CPS are watching for evidence of breaching my restraining order. If this site goes dead, I will have suffered another raid. The last time was on August 24th 2020, held in dirty disgusting cold cells, surrounded by the shouting, ranting and screaming of other mad prisoners before being transferred to the local mad house for another 12 hours where I was pronounced sane.

Note for corrupt cops and CPS, I am not prevented from telling the truth. Consider the small selection from over 4000 documents in line below here and decide whether ir not telling the truth.

My documents are matters of fact. They are matters of high level institutional police corruption. As a jourmalist I want reform. We won’t get that from warmonger unaccounatble Prime Minsiter Starmer, former head of corrupt Crown Prosecution Service or his Health Secretary who doesn’t think it appropriate to review the dubious conviction of nurse Lucy Letby in a cover up for filthy disgusting U.K NHS Third World hospitals. As a serious, experienced author and competent journalist, I want the disgustingly corrupt moralising wealth empowered U.K exposed for the war mongering hypocritcal cess pit that it is.

Thames Valley Chief Constable Jason Hogg, smug above, is under investigation by the IOPC, for gross misconduct. Protected by the turgid statements from the hard nosed Police Federation, Hogg is still at work. He was at work for his force when I was maliciously prosecuted in 2015 -16 and 2018. Then again as Chief Constable in August 2020, when for the second time I was once again forced to report their malice via the internet because they are hell bent on destroying mine and my eldest son’s lives for their own good – the youngest one already sectioned and sedated to shut him down, having suffered years of abuse, manipulation,control and abuse by my ex wife and her family

Senior police officers get paid too much and are unaccountable. The IOPC are all to easily ignored as my experience of corrupt West Mercia Police and my ex brother in law’s DCC’s unscupulous criminal behavior toward me and role in the Plebgate cover up attests.

Allegedly, according to my ex wife, the police chief’s sister, the following referenced property was a family home. If it was, then she was committing revenue fraud. If it wasn’t then she committed an illegal eviction of my bill paying eldest son three months before his final examinations, selling off all his property 3 months before his final examinations at the University of East Anglia. She did this as a matter of intentional deprivation of assets and to punish my student son for choosing to live with me rather that his violent coercive controling sex abuser mother. Her brother made an outraged police statement comment, on his sister’s behalf because I had called my ex wife a bad mother. That was an understatement. Not surprisingly Norfolk Police had no intererst in investigation. More to come on this appalling part of the story.

The Vulnerable Witness 3 By R J Cook

My serious relationship with Christine Halpin, coincidentally daughter of a West Mercia Police CID sergeant back in the days when it had the old fashioned quaint name of; constabulary, began in late 2008. I found her account of growing up as a police officer’s daughter very evocative of the TV Show ‘Heartbeat.’ She was my rock when facing my first prosecution for being forced to publish the truthful story of how I had been forced to use the internet to expose West Mercia Police misconduct and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice,

I was arrested again after being forced to expose what had led up to Thames Valley Police involving themselves in my health care. This was with intent to label me a paranoid schizophrenic delusional bi polar, alcoholic violent sex offender without any evidence of investigation. Here James Hogg was one step away from promotion to Chief Constable and suspension on suspicion of gross misconduct.

By early 2009, Christine Halpin and I had established an intimate relationship which lasted until May 2011. We had a mutual interest in music and song writing, so spending much of our free time creating and performing our own and other songs in Home Counties bars and folk clubs. In 2010, we wrote and recorded an album called ‘Seventh Child.’ Then, in 2011, a West Mercia Police Officer warned me that if I continued our relationship, Christine would lose her employment as ninth year head at exclusive Woldingham Girls’ Boarding Roman Catholic Boarding School in Surrey.

From memory, Christine told me that Woldingham School fees were around £26,000 per annum and that some of these international VIP parents had as many as four girls there at the same time. Set in a peaceful part of Surrey, a few miles off the M25, near Godstone, Woldingham is a haven of peace, security and upper class elegance. Christine even mooted the possibility of a history teaching vacancy becoming available. I am an experienced qualified school teacher.

I had no idea of the vile fabricated secret criminal records cooked up by my Assistant Chief Constable ex brother in law, his family and corrupt boss and old Thames Valley Police friend Chief Constable Paul West, a former Thames Valley Deputy Chief Constable, had cooked up between them, though frequent police chases with stop and searches, even into my workplace at midnight, were testing my patience. Interestingly, West Mercia Police Authority denied West an extension of his Chief Constable contract. He was a stout defender of my brother in law’s palpable gross misconduct when called to account to that authority.

The truth began to emerge when Christine got Woldingham to apply for enhanced CRBs so that my eldest son and I could stay at her flat, an unlocked landing away from the ninth year girls dormitory 24/7 including during term time. This meant we could spend much more time together, especially when she was on duty and could not visit Winslow. We began to make plans for the future.

However, as following correspondence denotes, Woldingham School’s 2009 application for my enhanced CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) clearance had been delayed for 71 days because Thames Valley Police were awaiting clarification of the malicious false corrupt criminal records created by my ex brother in law’s then West Mercia Police Force, where that brother in law was awaiting promotion to Deputy Chief Constable. West Mercia is an area I had been forced to visit during my marriage. I found it gloomy and depressing and most certainly never lived there or camped out on expeditions to stalk my arrigant conceited self important ex brother in law or his family.

It is quite funny in a sick but typically British Ruling Class sort of way, that my ex brother in law was awarded the Queen’s Policing Medal for what he described on one of his belated 2010 perjurious turgid statements, as ‘pioneering new methods of evidence gathering.’ He also has a police sponsored BSc. This was in sociology, with special emphasis on police profiling. One assumes he considered himself an expert on fabricating evidence and taught his family accordingly when they lied to ruin mine and eldest son’s lives by lying about very serious crimes that never happened – but which police still lie to CPS and court that they have investigated. His, family and police motives seem rather obvious to me. But this is the age when a woman’s tears say more than real evidence ever could. Obviously, top cops, like women, never lie. Profiling has now taken the place of motive once U.K Police choose their targets. Women and senior police officers are always goodies so never suspects, or ‘persons of interest’ (POI).

Going back to Woldingham, very oddly after much protest, I was given my CRB enhanced clearance 71 days late and so began my regular visits with my eldest son. I was free to move around the school and grounds. I regularly attended Sunday morning mass with Christine and the assembled pupil population. Sunday lunch with the staff ,with lots of wine and wonderful food was a delight. I enjoyed chatting to the priest who was always in some hurry to get off down to Plymouth to visit his brother. He told me of his device called ‘Road Angel’ to avoid being caught in speed traps. His sermons were always entertaining and made me laugh, even in my ongoing difficult times.

The inveterate dishonesty and corruption of West Mercia and Thames Valley Police in their efforts to serve theirs and my ex brother in law’s vile corrupt highly motivated lies, became apparent when ACRO ( Chief Police Officers Record Office) denied that they held any criminal records related to me as late as August 20^th 2009. By this time, I was absolutely certain that the police were lying. The big question was why ? So I continued the pressure but got nowhere near honesty until after my divorce was finalised in November 2009. That meant there was no chance I could raise the subject of my ex wife’s, her criminal brother, his police officer wife or police corruption interfering in my divorce being used as good reason for paying my wife nothing.

The Vulnerable Witness 2 Updated 23.00 – by R J Cook

Hopefully West Mercia and Thames Valley Police will review my May 2011 Restraining Order, created to shut down and criminalise my complaints. They and court need to unerstand that I am not prevented from discussing matters upon which they still refuse to correspond or provide evidence of ever investigating. I want these latest internet publications -provoked by gross and intolerable criminal misconduct and banned from current proceedings on grounds of serious insanity- added to the CPS prosecution file for latest proceedings. These proceedings dated from my arrest and detention on August 24th 2020. I am still waiting for them to produce an evidence file which includes evidence of investigation.

This site is monitored by West Mercia Police and Thames Valley Police who have been harassing and taking proceedings against me since 2010 because as soon as I received the letter, publsihed with other documents below, I persisted in seeking a full explanation for the PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker mentioned in Thames Valley Police Professional Standards Department CS Mike Tighe’s letter to me November 2009.

That The Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker was knowingly based on secret fabricated violent stalking allegations, including domestic violence, created in a police area not local to me. The marker breached all legal rules and protocols. It was faciliated by my Assistant Chief Constable ex brother in law’s criminal lies and his criminal conduct of his then boss, and mentor, Chief Constable Paul West. My brother in law was paranoid that my eldest son would visit and remove Edward who was being exploited as a family cash cow during my divorce. The illegal marker, citing stalking and domestic violence fears for which even now they refuse to disclose their false records. What do they have to hide from the Courts?

This vile senior police officer, now a Chief Constable, broke the law to get the marker because he wanted police across U.K watching me 24/7, with the additional hope of getting dirt on me to enhance his sister’s divorce settlement and discredit anything I had to say about his sex abuser sister who had warned me for years that her brother would sort me out if I did not shut up and do as I was told. She was right- he has.

In 2006, after shutting down outside help for Edward and forcing me to see an analyst who said I might be a woman, my ex wife created a back story for my GP, Dr J P Fairfied of Norden House Surgery Winslow. She told him that I was a long term heavy drinker. Evidence came to light that she was already drawing on her brother’s experience of being divorced for his adultery. They first became close in summer 2006.

Analysis and explanation of what the following documents will follow shortly.

The above letter was the final brush off from West Mercia Police Authority on April 16^th 2009, dismissing my complaints regarding their lying Assistant Chief Constable whose perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice ruined mine and my eldest son’s lives and seeing long term socially isolated abused son Edward sectioned by my ex wife. This letter makes it very clear that I gave West Mercia Police every opportunity to explain themselves and make disclosures for my alleged most serious crimes.

They could and should have responded with full details of what their corrupt Assistant Chief Constable and his boss Chief Constable Paul West, who personally recruited my corrupt ex brother in law, who followed him from corrupt Thames Valley Police.

Their persistent refusal to explain themselves and their gross misconduct says it all. Had correct police procedures been properly followed in October 2008 instead of secret fabricated devastating criminal records, then I would have been confronted with full details of alleged 2008 serious crimes and dealt with.

They could not do so because my son and I were hundreds of miles away at the time and dates of the alleged offences, the details of which I was still desperately seeking from West Mercia Police, when I finally cracked up and resorted to internet publicity and a leaflet because mine and my sons lives were in ruins. Background checks throwing up my ex brother in law, family, his police colleagues and medical practitioners lies made gainful employment impossible. U.K Police corruption and lies know no bounds, especially when covering up for one of their high flying senior officers like my ex brother in law.

Re the above, this is very interesting, given the West Mercia Police, ACRO and CRB denials of me having any criminal records. No stalking crimes or domestic violence allegations were ever mentioned during my divorce from the top cops sister. Then as soon as my divorce became absolute in November, out comes DCS Mike Tighe of Thames Valley Police with a very guarded admission that my problem is a PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker and records for harassing members of my ex family-my in laws in the West Mericia Police area. I do not live, have never lived in the West Mercia Police force area.

That was very convenient for Thames Valley Police, ignores the ongoing Thames Valley role in a multi agency monitoring of me that has never ended since my corrupt ex brother in law and family knowingly false malicious unfouned allegations against me of harassment fear of violence in back October 2008.

Thames Valley Police continue to seek Revenge for my May 2016 Court acquittal. Their mental health defamation involving corrupt Whiteleaf lying psychiatrist, Dr Christopher Ramsay of Aylesbury’s Whiteleaf Centre, my GP Dr Rahl Kamble of 3W Health reinforcing Thames Valley Police lies, on the watch of then Thames Valley Deputy Chief Constable Jason Hogg, recently suspended on suspicion of gross misconduct in conspiracy with another senior Thames Valley officer to protect a high ranking colleague.

Kamble still refuses to back down and apologise for informing, without evidence, that I am long term alcoholic. Further documents will reveal Thames Valley Police’s PC Bellamy falsely arresting me for gay prosititution in a home based brothel and malicious prosecution because I lost my temper with him on his phone messages, 3 months after his terrifying 7 officer dawn raid on my home.

The evidence was entirely fabricated and I was arrested, detained, property searched. computers, mobile phones, digital tachograph card and debit card confiscated and not returned until September 2018 when they were prosecuting me for upsetting arresting officer Bellamy. Thames Valley Police will do anything to protect their own kind from investigation and justice. That is life in Police State Britain, a nation where the ruling elite are a perfect bedfellows for Zelensky and Ukrain. R J Cook

The Vulnerable Witness – by R J Cook

Image Caption My youngest son Edward John Cook enjoying his two years with me as his Buckinhamshire County Council approved home tutor, working happily at my desk in 1999. before his mother delivered him back to the hell of private school. Here the bullying and humiliation reached new levels. His mother signed a contract, published on this site, agreeing to help him kill himself if his life got any worse. Her paternal family have a history of serious mental illness which she projected onto Edward and myself, using her corrupt police chief brother for credibility.

Image R J Cook / Appledene Photographics.

As a result of being maliciously prosecuted for asking Thames Valley Police to investigate my ex brother in law et al on the basis of new evidence provided during a 2013 malicious prosecution for asking Thames Valley Police to stop my ex wife contacting my home.

This evidence proved beyond a whisker of doubt, that my ex brother in law, his sister, family, Chief Constable Paul West, Sergeant Rees et al had committed perjury, misconduct in public office and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Having thus become aware of details concerning very serious allegations, I made the same request for investigation four times, by e mail in late 2014. I sent the same e mail a fifth time in March 2015. The decision to prosecute me was taken the following December 24. It was alleged that I had breached a Restraining Order by making allegations against my ex brother in law. The logic of this interpretation is that it would be deemed illegal and a breach of my restraining order, if I saw my ex brother in law commit murder and told the authorities.

It was during seven Aylesbury Crown Court hearings in 2016, that the Judge started shouting at me about needing to sleep at night and therefore would send me to jail for a very long time if I did not plead guilty. Out of the blue, the judge shouted ; “These domestic violence cases are getting worse and I intend to do something about it.” I found this more than alarming and so did my barrister, Laban Leak. He made strenuous efforts to get me to plead guilty to face a shorter jail sentence, but at no time did anyone in authority provide any evidence of domestic violence or that I had ever been openly accused or investigated for such crime. Whatever, Leak quit the case at a crucial stage. The whole business had cost me £7000 in legal fees while I was struggling to work as a full time HGV driver. The stress was unbearable.

Luckily my replacement barrister, John Swain, listened to what I had to say. He demanded an appropriate prosecution file which the Crown Prosecution Service had failed to provide. All I wanted was an investigation into obvious evidence of perjury, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, and gross misconduct in public office – as published yesterday. The extract from my ex wife’s statement is extraordinary concerning my youngest son Edward,.

He is crippled with OCD and has been denied social experience. This is thanks to his mother and family’s abuse and exploitation. So it is absurd and an obvious lie taken as fact by WMP and TVP, that Edward took a trip by himself to the heart of Shropshire, a distance of 158 miles by himself to meet his brother, who would also have made the same 158 mile journey by difficult and awkward expensive public transport, to meet without danger of seeing me because of my insinuated violent behaviour. Not surprisingly, it took me until two years after these statements were made and four years after the alleged offences which have yet to be explained in terms of warnings and investigations.

There is absolutely no evidence of any investigation of any of my ex in laws allegations or correct police and legal procedure since the outset of their criminal misconduct, perjury and defamation in October 2008-if not before. My ex wife’s statements go on to allege that Edward witnesses an incident of domestic violence on her birthday, evening, March 9^th 2008 because he was home from school due to something going wrong at school. Edward was 20 years old and had not been to school since he was 15. He had been shut away in his room and sexually abused ever since. Moreover, March 9^th 2008 was a Sunday. I was not accused, arrested or investiagted for domestic violence on that or any other date. Nor was domestic violence or stalking ever mentioned during our March 2008-November 2009 divorce hearings. However, thanks to my corrupt Assistant Chief Constable soon to be ex brother in law, all law and protocols were broken to get me a secret Section 109 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker with vile fabricated so called ‘soft intelligence’ still secret records.

So in 2016, the prosecution were unable to produce any evidence that anything I had said in my request for an investigation and disclosure, was repeated, unfounded or subject to previous correspondence because it wasn’t. Nor was there any evidence of domestic violence other than my ex brother in laws perjury that I had trashed the marital home on the night of March 16^th 2025. So I was acquitted in May 2016.

Next, I repeated my request for a Thames Valley Police investigation into my allegations and was warned that my request would lead to further prosecution. Still in 2016, I decided that I needed to take very seriously, the possibility of being transsexual. After enduring my ex wife’s admitted domestic violence.

So my then female GP Dr Baines Clark and psychiatrist Dr C R Ramsay referred me to the London Gender Identity Clinic. However, the effects of ongoing secret police records since 2008, had been overwhelming. Taking a holiday from work to work things out, I decided to take a large overdose of temazepam. After taking the pills, I decided to walk to the local One Stop shop to buy wine. This was to make the pills work faster. I collapsed in the street, on my way back home. The community police officer, PC Ian Carter, called an ambulance and was taken unconscious to Milton Keynes hospital.

I had previously attempted suicide after accidentally walking in on my ex wife and finding her having sex with my son Edward in March 2007. He was 19 years old. His brother was 128 miles away at university and had been shut away since age 15. My mother and I were only allowed to see Edward with my wife’s presence and permission. The situation was intolerable. My then wife had terminated the outside help I had secured from Whiteleaf because she feared they would discover what was going on. She had timed the psychiatric nurse’s visits to Friday mornings when she knew I would be away collecting my eldest son from university. Edward desperately needed his brother for comfort and they loved each other very much. My wife ordered that they could never see each other again because Edward’s brother chose to live with me. That was the beginning of my journey into hell. I have no doubt that I am the real vulnerable witness in this story.

Everything I have written here is matter of recorded fact and has been forbidden as evidence during current legal proceedings. The witness statement extracts are full of absurdities and contradictions and were taken two years after the alleged 2008 offences. There are no avaiable witness statements taken at the time, but West Mercia Police, backed by Thames Valley Police, or evidence of anything approaching correct police procedure leading up to the October 9th 2008 Section 59 PNC Criminal Marker and supporting records,. This is high level police corruption also involving the then WMP Chief Constable Paul West, formerly DCC at corrupt Thames Valley Police.

These notes are for a new book provisionally titled ‘The Vulnerable Witness.’ More to come.’

Hoggwash & What Perjury Looks Like By R J Cook ( Updated March 6th 2025)

Image Caption My ex wife with disturbed youngest son Edward. She took him to the bathroom, washing and masturbating him on a daily basis from age 15 -20. This makes the following extract from her 2010 statement rather absurd. Thanks to her abuse and sexual misconduct, Edward had severe OCD, as this photo and the suicide contract she signed attests. She cancelled the Whiteleaf outside help I had struggled to gain because she had her dirty little secrets to hide. I was forced to see an analyst because they agreed that I was the problem. I was told to ‘find the woman within’. Edward has been heavily sedated and was sectioned on the word of her and her brother in August 2020. I have no idea whether Edward is now dead or alive because my eldest son and I have been blamed for his condition.

The journey from Winslow or Aylesbury where my wife lived is neafrly 200 miles to Cleobury Mortimer and never happened- Edward already being demonstarbly shut away in his police chief’s Shropshire home, The journey would have been very difficult for my sons who cannot drive, and especially for a young man suffering severe OCD and who had been shut away for years, with only his mother for company. And in any case, my ex wife is a demonstable liar, contradicted by the equally dishonest extracts from my ex brother and sister in law’s perjurious statements. My ex wife, like her family members and corrupt TVP & WMP, have worked hard to avoid collecting and investigating the evidence.The following extracts are from statements collected 2 years after the alleged 2008 offences, made ex post facto in order to criminalise past and future complaints .

Significantly these statements were withheld from me until 2013 when West Midlands Crown Prosecution Service sent me a huge file of subject matter entitled ‘Managing Robert Cook’. I was being prosecuted at the time for breaching restraining order by informing Thames Valley Police that the only reason they would not stop my ex wife contacting my home was her brother’s status as a very senior police officer. According to the Guardian newspaper today, over 230 women have been killed by their sons in the last 15 years. There is no explanation provuded beyond inmplying that sons do it because they are men. Eighty per cent of mothers killed by a close family members were mothers killed by sons. They are calling for stronger laws. Accordingly, the report notes that 70% of men killing mothers had mental health problems. I wonder why ?The report makes no mention of how many men abuse and or kill men. My ex wife and her brother combined to have my youngest son Edward, then 32, sectioned for ‘fear of violence’ in August 2020. Six officers attended the scene while my ex wife went for a walk. One of the officers entered Edward’s room, in the dark and trod on his laptop. I am aware of this because Edward, free of his mother’s excriciating oversight, was able to phone his brother from the Whiteleaf Mental Hospital. Edward asked for a visit. As soon as my ex wife and her family found out about the visit, Edward disappeared back into oblivion..

The following 2010 statement extract made by my ex wife in 2010, two years after secret damning West Mercia Police records and malicious PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker was placed on my car regarding offences allegedy committed in the West Mercia Police area when my eldest son and I can prove being hundreds of miles away, as documents below attest. My ex wife wrote a total of 22 pages defaming me, of which it took me until 2013 to obtain 3 pages. This extract is intended to convey the lie that my youngest son was free of his mother’s control and socially isolated, crippled by OCD due to years of isolation, expolitation and abuse. It is essential for corrupt Thames Valley and West Mercia Police and my ex in laws to maintain the lie that I am criminally insane obsessed with revenge on my ex brother in law and his family. Police should have been obliged to verify the absurd assertion that my youngest Son Edward could have made the complicated and expensive near 400 mile round trip and where exactly it took place. This account is massuvely contradicted by my ex wife and sister in law’s accounts as follows.

The following statement is basically criminal lies. My malicious police chief ex brother in law, who elsewhere admits hardly knowing me. It is a damning and extreme account of something that never happened and was never investigated.

Two Extracts from my ex wife and then Assistant and now Chief Constable Ex Brother in Law’s wife lying about domestic violence and stalking two years after secretly fabricated recorded offences that have yet to be explained. This high ranking diversity officer claims to bear witness to domestic violence, from 158 miles away, and a stalking event that never took place because, as further documents to be published later, will prove that I was nowhere near him.

Here again, my ex brother in law has piled on the drunken violence.

A statement extract from my ex brother in law, then West Mercia’s star Assistant Chief Constable. Apart from the fact that I was not anywhere near the vicinity of these rapacious lying peopkes’ home, spot the contadictions in these extracts from their turgid statements. The following statement is partiuarly interested coming from a trained an Thames Valley Police sponsored graduate diversity officer. His reference to me becoming extremely drunk and abusive during visits, begs the questions : Why was I invited in the first place, why did they give me access to so much alcohol and why didn’t this family that included two police officers, not either breath test me on their premises or phone police colleagues to be ready when I was about to drive off, because I did all the driving ? This individual is a vile and despicable liar, still protected by his past and present police force colleagues and high status. Why did this person agree to help, as did so many other Thames Valley Police officers assist and provide resources for my 2001 book, Milton Keynes in the News.

This guy beggars belief and so does his family. He is a highly motivated criminal liar, like his sister, wife and maybe other members of his family. This corrupt top cop has never been investigated as is clear from West Mercia Police Authority letter above and a reply from their head of Professional Standards in October 2008 when Watson threatened consequences if I involved West Mercia Police in “your complex and difficult marital affairs.” So over and over again between October 2008 to September 2010, I gave this corrupt police force repeated opportunities to explain what they had done in 2008. They refused, threatened and then prosecuted me in 2010-11 to discredit and shut me up. My ex brother in law, in one of his statements admits that ‘Edward is vilnerable to manipu;ation and control. The following is hard evdidence of his perjury, similarly to his wife’s statement. It is also testimony to his intolerance and aptitude for telling lies about matters he knows nothing about.

Image Caption 2001 Family Gathering, Cornwall. My camera shy ex brother in law is hiding top left, surrounded by his little family and new wife. I am sitting centre left, opposite my happy late mother who my ex wife accused me of abusing for 20 years along with her and Edward. Curiously I am sitting between my eldest son and ex mother in law, who her son asserts I drunkenly abused for many years. As a top cop he knows what buttons to push. Note I am drinking orange juice because I am the driver. My brother in law and family statements were taken as fact because that is how it works in top down U.K Police Forces. My youngest, soon to be destroyed youngest son Edward is very happy still, with me as his Bucks County Council approved home tutor. He doesn’t know that his mother is forcing him back to school and more bullying misery awaits. It is also interesting that my ex brother in law notes that his sister and I often visited his parents annex, where I became very drunk and inflicted verbal abuse on his mother. I only visted their annex under duress. I was always the driver, so as a policeman, if I was so frequently drink,why did he not arrest me. Why,when he lived in Oxford, was I charged with responsibility for the 40 mile round trip down the dangerous A34, to collect his parents and pre teen daughters in Winslow, where I had the job of entertaining these children and photographic evidence to prove it ?

Image Caption The Chief Constable’s sister signed this contract to help my youngest son kill himself if she forced him to leave my home tuition and go to a private school. It is so pitful, what my ex wife, her brother, their family and police have done to Edward, criminalising his hard working brother and me in the process. These are the kind of ‘nice, well respected, overpaid’ people running this dreadful country. So the bank and witness said I was variously in Staffordshire, Lancashire, West Yorkshire and Buckinghamshire, but my senior police officer ex brother in law, family and corrupt colleagues statements and gross misconduct, say more than real evidence ever could. That is life in Police State Britain. How much worse could Russia possibly be ?

Image Caption This document shows absolute proof of my whereabouts over the weekend of October 4th / 5th 2008 when my ex brother in law, his family, Chief Constable Paul West and Sergeant Rees perjured themselves, committing perjury, misconduct in public office and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice when called to account for the malicious Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker with vile fabricated life destroying records created on October 9th 2008.

Image Caption The Judge accepted the Crown Prosecution argument that this statement, shown to Thames Valley Police and CPS in 2015, is hearsay. So what are the absurd in law statements written for, two years after my alleged offences which were still being officially denied in 2009. I will comment later. More documents, comments and analysis to come soon, at the head of this post. 22.14 04/03/2025

Northamptonshire chief constable dismissed for gross …

Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk › News

21 Jun 2024 — A police disciplinary panel has found allegations of gross misconduct proven against Northamptonshire Chief Constable Nick Adderley today …

Image Caption Briefly suspended Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Jason Hogg. Hogg was suspended by his police authority in January, for suspected gross misconduct with another senior officer. The all powerful Police Federation who are used to laying down the law to would be reforming Home Secretaries like Clark and May, closed ranks and had him reinstated pending further investigation. Police Federation bullies insist that Hogg should be regarded innocent until proven guilty. This is rather different to how they treated me, my ex brother in law’s West Mercia Police giving me an illegal life destroying PNC Criminal Vehicle Maker and damining secret records on October 9th 2008, for a crime they still refuse to specify and the marker and records existence only admitted under pressure, in November 2009.. Same goes for Russell Brand and conviction hungry cops calling out the ‘me too movement’. They scream blue murder when the ‘me too’ movement is pointed at them .

As far as I know, Hogg is still in post. He was Deputy Chief Constable and senior Thames Valley Operational Officer in command when his force launched a terrifying 7 Officer raid on my home during my fortnightly HGV Monday Rest Day, February 5th 2018, arresting, detaining me, confiscating property and lying to my lawyer.

My rest days were always on Monday because I worked every Saturday. But according to Thames Valley Police, I was a long term paranoid schizophrenic, delusional and bi polar long term alcoholic and gay prostitute working for my eldest son and his criminal associates in a home based brothel.They informed my GP accordingly. He told Whiteleaf Secure Mental Hospital and the GIC as instrcuted by corrupt Thames Valley Police.

Then along came their lame tame psychiatrist Dr Christopher R Ramsay from Aylesbury’s Whiteleaf Centre. The February arrest was done on the basis that I had sent police chiefs and ex in laws pornographic images of myself and ex wife in violation of a restraining order based on violent slalking and domestic violence lies for which West Mercia and Thames Valley Police still refuse disclosures. I will comment further, with documents tomorrow. The material was fabricated and obvious revenge to discredit me and my May 2016 acquittal after being prosecuted for asking Thames Valley Police to investigate my corrupt ex brother in law et al.

My ex brother in law was the originator of criminal lies against my self and eldest son because he feared the truth about incarcerating my younger adult son and covering up his sister’s abuse, would be exposed. His family were cash strapped, so shutting my then 20 year old son Edward away in his remote Shropshire home was vital in helping his sister claim more money from my divorce and avoid exposure of her abuse.

As I have noted before, after being shut away for 5 years in the marital home where Edward was sexually abused daily, he was then shut away with my in laws and then his mother for the next 12 years before my ex wife and her police chief brother, now a Chief Constable, had him sectioned on the grounds that my ex wife fearded violence. He was 32 at the time. He is now approaching middle age and will die in a mental institution like my ex wife’s Uncle Peter. The whole family are coercive and controlling. They see no wrong in themselves or anything they do and like hiding whatever looks nasty, as far away as possible. It is a serious mental health condition, as I told Dr C R Ramsay when Thames Valley Police were directing him to diagnose me as a paranoid schizophrenic, bi polar and delusional.

Interestingly none of the alleged domestic violence or West Mercia Police Criminal Records were ever mentioned during my concurrent divorce. As will become obvious from futher documents to be published tomorrow,, this corrupt lying Chief Constable, his family members and Chief Constable Paul West, committed perjury, miscomduct in public office and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice to create their vile fabricated records and the PNC Criminal Marker, strenuously avoiding due process.

West, my ex brother in law and his wife had both served as Thames Valley Police Officers. So, in late 2014, when I asked Hogg’s Thames Valley Police to investigate these parties, accordingly on the basis of new evidence, they prosecuted me instead, in 2015-16. When I was acquitted in May 2016, they began an enhanced harassment campaign. This led to them fabricating evidence and lying about investiagtion concerning me working as a gay whore working for my eldest son in a home based brothel because I am clinically insane. They passed all the details to my GP, instructing them to contact the local mental hospital because I had ‘revenge porned myself’ to harm my eldest son. More details coming tomorrow.

Comment Authorities agreed that there were only two candidates for the top Metropolitican Police job. Diversity dictated that they had to be women. It was either TVP’s Sarah Thornton, tarnished by the grooming gang cover up, or Cressida Dick. Her notable achievements included covering up the illegal killing ( some said murder ) of innocent Charles DeMenzes, gunned down by an undercover officer on a tube train.

Putin says European Summit had nothing to do with peace. Lavrov says it ignored the root causes. British Press unites in condemning President Trump. Farage has been accused of licking Putin’s boots after the White House showdown with corrupt Ukraine’s western puppet; Zelensky.

The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US?

George Monbiot

So much of our intelligence and military systems are shared or reliant on the US – if it becomes the enemy, it is already inside the gatesThu 27 Feb 2025 08.00 GMTLast modified on Thu 27 Feb 2025 10.26 GMT

All the talk now is of how we might defend ourselves without the US. But almost everyone with a voice in public life appears to be avoiding a much bigger and more troubling question: how we might defend ourselves against the US.

As Keir Starmer visits the orange emperor’s court in Washington, let’s first consider the possibilities. I can’t comment on their likelihood, and I fervently hope that people with more knowledge and power than me are gaming them. One is that Donald Trump will not only clear the path for Vladimir Putin in Ukraine, but will actively assist him. We know that Trump can brook no challenge to his hegemony. Russia is no threat to US dominance, but Europe, with a combined economy similar to that of the US, and a powerful diplomatic and global political presence, could be.

Putin has long sought to break up the EU, using the European far right as his proxies: this is why he invested so heavily in Brexit. Now Trump, in turn, could use Putin as his proxy, to attack a rival centre of power. If Trump helps Russia sweep through Ukraine, Putin could then issue an ultimatum to other frontline and eastern European states: leave the EU, leave Nato and become a client state like Belarus, or you’re next. In Hungary, Viktor Orbán might agree to this. If Călin Georgescu wins in Romania in May, he might too.

What form could US support for Putin in Ukraine take? It could involve intelligence sharing. It could involve permanently withdrawing Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service from Ukraine, which is strategically crucial there, while making it available to the Russian armed forces. Already, the US government has threatened to nix the service if Ukraine doesn’t hand over its minerals, as reparations for being invaded. This is how Trump operates: blackmailing desperate people who are seeking to defend themselves against an imperial war, regardless of past alliances. In the extreme case, Trump’s support for Russia might involve military equipment and financial backing, or even joint US-Russian operations, in the Arctic or elsewhere.

Now consider our vulnerabilities. Through the “Five Eyes” partnership, the UK automatically shares signals intelligence, human intelligence and defence intelligence with the US government. Edward Snowden’s revelations showed that the US, with the agreement of our government, conducts wholesale espionage on innocent UK citizens. The two governments, with other western nations, run a wide range of joint intelligence programmes, such as Prism, Echelon, Tempora and XKeyscore. The US National Security Agency (NSA) uses the UK agency GCHQ as a subcontractor.

All this is now overseen by Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence, in charge of the CIA, NSA and 16 other agencies. After she recited conspiracy fictions seeded by the Syrian and Russian governments, she was widely accused of being a “Russian asset” or a “Russian puppet”. At what point do we conclude that by sharing intelligence with the US, the UK might as well be sharing it with Russia?

EU Thriving on War, Zelensky & Starmer compared to Churchill Versus Putin as Hitler. ‘ Brave Little Belgium Replaced by ‘Brave Little Ukraine’ By R J Cook

Comment I would like something or someone to protect me from Prime Minister Starmer the former over paid head of his country’s corrupt Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). His party are now eyeing up 16 year olds as voting fodder and soon to be cannon fodder. The one sided account of what happened in the White House is war mongering and nauseating. Ian Birrell, another Guardian writer compared Zelensky to Churchill. There are many myths about Churchill. He was certainly not a democrat. He was the Home Secretary who had troops fire on striking Welsh coal miners in 1911. His recklessness was responsible for the ANZAC massacre.

Birrell shows his ignorance when he describes the U.S, formed as a break away from elitist Britain’s empire, as the U.K’s greatest ally. Birrell laments that saintly ‘freedom of the elite and their lackeys’ loving Britain, can no longer trust the U.S. Starmer, has issued no apology for innocent people jailed on his watch and doesn’t think this is the time to talk about it. He wants to increase the number of men going to prison. He cannot be trusted and nor can his government.

It says it all that Zelensky came rushing to the U.K to lick his wounds and be comforted by Starmer and King Charles. With all of this and a massive boost from the London summit and massive applause from U.K media, Zelensky is talking down to the United States. He has repeated his terms to President Trump before he will resume talks.

The ugly truth is that Russia cannot back down and were provoked by years of genocide in the Russian speaking Don Bas. The Directof of National Intelligence,Tulsi Gabbard, has workded out that Zelensky will only end the war with outright victory over Russia. So if President Trump and his government are not proepared to start World War Three and commit national suicide, then Europe must step up and destroy itself for them.

Ukraine is, like much of post Soviet Eastern Europe, horribly institutionally corrupt. Zelensky, with all the arrogance of his class of modern politically correct comedians, said that he still wanted to work with the U.S for their shared goals. The main problems are that Trump wants to prevent World War III, Zelensky wants victory over Russia at any price. Starmer leading the U.K, as self proclaimed leader of Europe, lives in a World War II fantasy land. There are two many idiots in the U.K, including my generation of deluded baby boomers, who believe Britain won that war. In reality, China, USSR and United States did most of the work. The RAF excelled ant blanket bomning a Germany in a war they did so much to provoke by wrongly blaming and punishing the German people for World War One.

In the U.K, 80% of academics have a liberal left bias. They are responsible for a production line of modern history graduates who go to ‘uni’ not university, as a right of passage. So there will be hordes of these ognorant students shouting and raging outside the U.S Embassy in London on Wednesday. This was the place made famous for anti Vietnam War protestors in the 1960s. The modern breed of ‘uni’ opinionated idiot now calls for war. No doubt the girls among them will campaign for equal rights to join the British Infantry and to be blinded, maimed, and if they are really lucky, killed on a battlefield for big business. As for the mineral deal, I would trust Putin on that before the jumped up western puppet EU gravy train backside licking Zelensky. The road to war in Ukraine has been an open road with obvious mile stones.

Elon Musk has better ideas for the United States. Wisely, he has said it is time for the U.S to get out of NATO. The U.S needs to see the EU empire builders for what they are and abandon them. The EU project thrives on censorship, mass multi cultural immigration, weapons trade, secret police methods, diversity to divide and rule, patronising incomptent leaders, election interference, greed, blaming Russia for all ills, discrediting and ultimately banning non consensus political opposition like the AFD..

EU Thrives on war, Zelensky & Starmer are compared to Churchill Versus Putin as Hitler. ‘ Brave Little Belgium’ has been replaced by ‘Plucky Little Ukraine’ These are the ingredients to distract the dumbed down ignorant masses. As with the lockdown warm up, to argue with authority in these circumstances is serious dissent, crime and ultimately will be treason.

The masses will face an ever rising cost of living (war) crisis, providing the cannon fodder from men under 40 to start with, and with no defence from Russian missiles. Russia has made its position clear, but Putin, Lavrov and Medvedev’s warning words are falling on deaf ears. The parasite banking classes have made heavy bets and rigged the table on this war. They cannot afford to lose. Which is why here in Britain and the U.S, smug BBC is working overtime witn the anti Russian Propaganda with their selective history of what is far more than a conflict. Russia is deeply involved in an existential crisis and capable of doing some very serious damage to get out of it. Zelensky is still a performing clown, but the days of dancing bears are long gone. This is not 1938.

Sex is rife for fantasy – by R J Cook

Sex is rife for fantasy and outside of the jungle, parts of Africa and the uncivilised world, probably doesn’t work without it. I was amazed when Tempus let me get away with quoting my friend Barney Dunphy from paint factory days when he caught me sitting on a pallet load of paint tins reading D H Lawrence’s ‘Selected Literary Criticism in 1969.

It was a sunny Saturday morning break at Buckingham Paint Factory. Maybe I had nothing else to do. Anyway, Barney came around the Dexian racking into my nook and asked “What are you reading Bob.” When I told him it was Lawrence talking about the art of making love to a woman, he said with a worldly sneer, “What a load of old bollocks. It’s just in with the prick.” I put that in ‘Buckingham Voices’ co created with my late, grumpy and wonderful friend Des Tunks.

Des’s sometimes angry countenance was in my mind when I wrote the hard worked character Des into my novel Man Maid Woman (MMW). Des had been in the Pioneer Corps. His fictional character’s snobbish wife and her dresses also came from that Buckingham Voices volume..

I am not saying that the real life wonderful lady I had in mind while writing, had her lover kill her low class husband, but I borrowed the lady’s social outlook and her life during the war as a WAAF. She said she would never go with a man from The Pioneer Corps.

Des moved out to Steeple Claydon. As soon as the vicar discovered the book, he was outraged because of its sexual content. It was great material for MMW. The lady’s name was Pip and she told me that she would never have dated anyone less than a pilot or navigator. I always thought I would make my fortune writing about gender. I wasn’t wrong about how insane it would all become.

My views on gender have flexibility, but there are biological limitations to the best of both. However, the dangerous social engineering from the not so liberal left, has a horrible purpose. On the one hand the sexes are equal at sport, on the other transsexual women have an unfair advantage over them.

Feminism has no need for consistent qualified arguments. The object of the exercise is to contain men, especially white men, which is why blacks are favoured in the Premier League as role models. It is also the reason for so many angry white feral young men, their art work captured by you on camera,saying it all.

Vilifying these men makes a certain liberal echelon and feminists feel good about themselves. They feed off the misery that they do so much to create. I spent 18 years teaching and learned a bit about kids, including lots of blacks in single sex South London schools. It was an evil place when I lived there. My young wife and I had the basement flat in LWT producer’s Humphrey Barclay’s mansion. He occupied the other three floors with his posh young black actor boyfriend.

Young Rowan Atkinson was among his star discoveries. Stockwell was my local tube station, next door to the amazing Stockwell Bus Depot, which I hould have photographed back then, with all its bright AEC Red Regent and Route-master Buses. I am not exactly a bus enthusiasm, but my parents took us back to North London visiting family during the 1950s. I loved the way the buses coloured the streets, even on dull days, especially the graceful silent trolley buses.

For some reason I wandered away from the reason why I started talking about football. It was because of that Australian DJ getting sacked for stating the obvious about his national women’s team, the Matilda s being crap. They are. Women’s bones are not designed and arranged for football. It is a child bearing hip issue. That is fact. I was the PE teacher’a favourite, a distinguished school and county athlete. I was also a qualified PE teacher, teaching the subject for 3 years. As a Secondary School fifth yea prefect ( now year 11 ) I was given charge of 4th & 5th year PE during staff meetings. I know a little about it.

So I know that the Matilda s are the worst of the worst. But the authorities had to come down hard on the Australian Radio DJ because a) football is the global religion with its collective acts of worship bringing us together b) it is essential in the war asserting that women can excel at anything men can do, but men can’t outperform them at anything c) it is being marketed to create role models d) it is being set up to make a lot of money e) it is essential to make examples of dissidents e) It is organised venting in pseudo warfare, conquer and egotistical gratification.

Has Channel 4 immigration show branded toxic changed anyone’s mind?

• Published25 February 2025

“In 10 years’ time, Britain is going to be full of people wearing burqas.“

“Islam will have taken over.”

Chloe Dobbs’ first words on Channel 4 reality show Go Back To Where You Came From didn’t leave much room for doubt.

The 24-year-old YouTuber and conservative political commentator from Cornwall knows her opinions were “controversial”.

So was the programme. Some charities accused it of platforming “toxic views” and giving a distorted idea of what refugees really go through.

But after being thrown in with five other Brits – all with differing views on immigration – has it altered anyone’s thinking?

Benefits could change under Labour – how likely is it and how would it affect you

The Government plans to reform the benefit system as it looks to make significant cuts to welfare spending

Sally Guyoncourt

February 22, 2025 1:33 pm (Updated 3:51 pm)

A major overhaul of the welfare system is on the cards this spring as the Government looks to make up to £5bn in benefit spending cuts.

Work and Pensions minister Liz Kendall has pledged to reform what she has termed a “broken benefits system” and support people back into work.

She said earlier this month: “People claiming health and disability benefits have been classed by the system as ‘can’t work’ and shut out of jobs and have been ignored – when they’ve been crying out for support.”

Her aim is to “support disabled people and those with long-term health conditions into work, bring down the benefits bill, and grow the economy”.

Around 3.7 million people of working age receive health-related benefits, according to the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee, with spending on incapacity and disability benefits (almost £65bn) greater than that on defence.

Lord Bridges of Headley, the committee’s chair, said: “The health benefits system is financially unsustainable, wastes human potential and – in the words of the Employment Minister – ‘does not work for anybody’.

“Given the pressure on the nation’s finances, tackling this must be a top priority for the Government.”

Reforms to the health and disability benefit system are due to be unveiled in a Green Paper this Spring, with changes implemented after consultation inside and outside Parliament.

Sir Stephen Timms, minister for Social Security and Disabilities, has confirmed it will be published, along with a public consultation on the proposals, before Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivers the Spring statement on Wednesday 26 March.

There is also a planned crackdown on benefit fraud under the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error & Recovery) Bill introduced to Parliament last month.

Mother found guilty of murdering sons aged two and fiveHexham Couranthttps://www.hexham-courant.co.uk › news › national

21 hours ago — Kara Alexander, 47, of Dagenham, east London, was accused of murdering Elijah Thomas, two, and Marley Thomas, five, in the bath at their …

So they close ranks as an animal instinct. By R J Cook.

Comment There is a liberal feminist consenus accepted myth that just because women are physically weaker than men, on average, like to paint their faces and play dress up, that they are all innocents waiting to be led astray and abused by toxic white men..

Women are more likely to harm children than men. If complaints were taken seriously, then it would be obvious that women are just as likely violent abusers as men. I was married to an abuser and liar for 31 years.

I sought refuge in sex change, but her brother’s network of corrupt police colleagues soon sorted that one out. My GP was informed that I was a gay whore working for my eldest son and his criminal associates in a home based brothel, long term alcoholic and violent paranoid schizophremic, bi polar and delusional.

To make it official and justify their MAPPA monitoring 24/7, they found a tame consultant psychiatrist in Dr Christopher R Ramsay from Aylesbury’s Whiteleaf Secure mental hospital to sign off on their advised opinion. Fact.

Roberta Jane Cook just before her false arrest, according to then Acting DC Bellamy ( who must at least be an inspector by now ) for working in a home based brothel as a gay whore and allegedly telling police and ex in laws about it. They also lied to my lawyer CDMK as part of an insanity strategy building on the 2011 Restraining Order criminalising my complaints but not criminalising telling truth to pwer.So TVP’s failed 2015-16 prosecution for ‘her’ demanding an investigation of ‘her’ corrupt senior police officer ex brother in law on the basis of real evidence, made it crucial to get tame psychiatrist Dr C R Ramsay to rubber stamp Roberta’s ‘extreme paranoid schizophrenia delusion etc’ so blocking her writing about police criminal misconduct and blocking her witnesses and evidence in court..

Sex change surgery referral was imminent before the seven officer Thames Valley Police raid in Febriary 2018, but cancelled along with hormome treatement extant for the previous 2 years, because ‘she’ would not accept powerful anti psyschotic drugs for a condition ‘she’ never had. Those drugs would have had major negative impact on ‘her’ memory, longevity, balance, bowel and bladder control – and of course crediblity and employmnt prospects.

‘She’ was sacked from her HGV employment because of this Thames Valley and NHS conspiracy which forced ‘her’ to use this website for publicity. for years after ‘her’ false arrest and malicious prosecution in 2018. ‘She’ gained the second opinion in 2023, which Ramsay lied that ‘she’ had refused in 2019. This was after doing the job properly over 14 months, Roberta was exonerated.

However, on the afternoon of August 6th 2024, during a 2 hour appointment, Dr Kitpal Sahota, of the London Gender Idenity Clinic (GIC) told Roberta that the now over 6 year delay caused by Thames Valley Police lies and corruption, meant that ‘she’ was now too old for safe effective surgery but they could still castrate and cut off her penis, adding that at her age she would have no use for a vagina anyway.

The GIC had been working under Thames Valley Police direction and whose head psychiatrist, Dr James Barrett, had been called as a CPS witness to testify as to my insanity even though I had never met him until February 2023,

As an experienced accredited journalist and published author, I find this story fascinating, though personally alarming. Unfortunaely mainstream media would have to get past a massive official corrupt police forces alliance before they would dare touch it with a barge pole. Thames Valley (TVP) and West Mercia Police (WMP) motives for intruding in this affair, overreaching their previous lies and malpractice to kill off ‘Roberta’ who they were determined not to recognise, is a matter of extreme importance. It is something else that Thames Valley Police Chief Constable should have to account for as ultimate head of their Professional Standards Department (PSD).

But calling Chief Constables to account is a little more difficult and dangerous than the IOPC would have you believe. The balance of power is in their favour. If I dare to do it, TVP will invoke and abuse the West Mercia Restarining Order as they did when I asked them to investigate my criminal allegations against my ex brother in law who is now a serving Chief Constable, in 2014. They chose to prosecute me instead and were very angry when I was acquitted in May 2016.

So they stepped up harassment, fabricating the prostitution evidence and informing my GP and GIC accordingly. They were covering their tracks with sex and insanity smears. That is how the U.K Police work when faced with serious criminal allegations. It is why they started stacking up a malicious criminal record in October 2008 when my ex brother in law, his family, toadying Sergeant Rees, corrupt WMPS PSD head CI Watson, his friend and mentor Chief Constable Paul West, lied that my eldest son and I had been found and warned about violent stalking my then WMP Assistant Chief ( soon to be Deputy) over the weekend of October 3rd / 4th /5th 2008.

Their conspiracy to pervert the course of justice for the most vile and despicable motives has caused my eldest son and I extreme misery and hardship. It has facilitated my youngest son’s ongoing manipulation, control and abuse and ultimate sectioning at the hands of my ex wife and her family.

If these parties were not lying to the court, CPS and by extension my ertswhile lawyer CDMK, about all being investigated and subject of previous correspondence, they would have and disclose records of due process, appropriate warnings, evidence of how they responded to evidence of where we actually were over the weekend of October 3rd/4th/5th 2008. We were never asked and ACRO denied in writing, that there were any records. On those crucial dates, we can still prove being variously in Staffordshire, Lancashire, West Yorkshire and Buckinghamshire on those dates. My ex brother in law, his family including my ex wife and WMP knowingly lies and continue in a conspiracy to shut me out of my lates trial for telling the truth on the grounds that I am so insane that I am unfit to plea.

Alarmingly but definitively of a CPS corrupt culture that PM Starmer did so much to sustain on his watch, a young female CPS lawyer stated at Amersham Law Courts in May 2022, that : “The CPS have never been interested in where Miss Cook was on those dates.”

Given the consequences of that WMP and TVP ongoing criminal lies used to create the life destroying PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker and related files, so extreme that my ex brother in law gained enhanced security with more lies to block an IPCC ( now called IPCC but no better ) investigation, the CPS attitude is criminal in its own right.

Them joining forces with TVP to block disclosures of files relating to the WMP and TVP corrupt practice 2011 to date, on the presumptious grounds and sophistry that these files would not help my defence in current legal action for allegedly breaching my restraining order by discussing matters very factually on this site. This is further warning that we live in a police state. These people have a vested interest in promoting my insanity. They operate in a manner that would outshine East Germany and the Soviet regimes who could never match the U.K authorities for subtlety and cultural manipulation. They know there would be very serious consequences from disclosing files relating to October 2008 and February-September 2018. Then there is also 2011, 2013 and 2016, and 2020 to date. Much more explanation is required for the latter whch is why TVP and CPS lied to CDMK.

Even when the IOPC finds in the appellant’s favour, as the WMP Deputy Chief Constable’s intervention to block IPCC’s Deborah Glass’s recommendation for gross misconduct action against 3 lying and angry officers who lied over Plebgate, the IOPC is ultimately at the mercy of the people it is supposedly investigating. There is also the matter of the Police Federation who close police ranks whenever a member is up for investigation. They work on the principle that a complaint against one of them is an attack on all. So they close ranks as an animal instinct.

Cash ISA limit could be cut to £4,000 as Rachel Reeves ponders overhaul

The current limit is £20,000 across all ISA types per person

Savers in the UK could find themselves restricted further in where they can save money without paying tax, after reports emerged of Rachel Reeves considering cutting the annual limit for Cash ISAs to just £4,000 per year.

Currently, anyone can save a maximum £20,000 per year into Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), of which there are several types.

You can split money across more than one type – such as a Cash ISA or Stocks and Shares ISA – but there is no rule to say you must use one or the other, with individuals free to determine their risk appetite and put money in accordingly.

However, amid a wider ongoing debate over whether ISAs need reform and whether limits should be imposed on the amount of cash allowed to be held, the Telegraph report Ms Reeves meeting with fund managers and discussing aspects which included limiting Cash ISAs to £4,000 a year – a reduction of 80 per cent from the current limit, if it was maxed out.

Using a Cash ISA rather than a normal savings account shields the interest earned from being liable for tax.

The limit for many individuals in the UK for earned interest without needing to pay any tax at all is £1,000, though this is lower for higher rate earners. Above the threshold, tax is due on interest earned – but not if it is in an ISA.

Bank of England data shows that almost £50bn was deposited into Cash ISAs in 2024, with savers taking advantage of rising interest rates to earn more on their money.

This is important as inflation, which is also on the rise, erodes the value of cash over time meaning people can buy less with the same amount. Money earning money, therefore, preserves its overall value.

However, city executives have been pushing for more of the funds deposited in Cash ISAs to be redeployed in investing plans.

Over the long term, investing in stock markets and other assets which are riskier than cash has shown to provide better returns for peoples’ money. However, there is more risk involved and generally it requires a better understanding from savers of not just where their money goes, but how and when they can access it.

With cash, that process is far more straightforward to understand.

Economic secretary to the Treasury, Emma Reynolds, said the UK had failed to establish “an investment culture”.

Experts have warned that effectively forcing people to invest their money instead of saving it could also disproportionately affect pensioners and older savers, who want safer returns and easier access to their money over a shorter period of time.

Treasury officials told the FT that the Chancellor was “listening to ideas” at this point.

Comment As I told my employers, HM Inspector of Taxes, in 1975, “You pick on the little people”. I left them to join a London accountant specialising in helping rich people avoid tax. Little has changed except the government needs to fleece the lower orders foreven more revenue to fund the virtue signalling and resource grabbing Ukraine War.

Corrupt senior police officers corrupt their aspiring underlings and should face penalties as inflated as their salaries. By R J Cook

Comment More to come soon, on my experience with corrupt West Mercia and corrupt Thames Valley Police, including how I , regardless of later discovering an illegal West Mercia Police PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker based on my police chief ex brother in law et al criminal lies, malicous secret records for violent stalking, extreme alcoholism, domestic abuse, paranoid schizophrenia, violent sex offending and so much more. He was supported in this criminal conspiracy by his close friend Chief Constable Paul West and West Mercia Police Officer wife. Current Thames Valley Chief Constable was Deputy Chief Constbale of Thames Valley during two his force’s false arrests and malicious prosecutions in 2016 and 2018. He is also full aware of the current prosecution and his force’s criminal misconduct and provocation in setting me up as a dangerous alcoholic paranoid schizophrenic, delusional and violent sex offender – with his officers taking charge of my medical care accordingly.

All of these extreme lies and misconduct from West Mercia Police under command of Paul West who was refused extension of his contract by the Police Authority, and instigated by his criminally dishonest and close friend from Thames Valley Days, who moved with him to become third in command as ACC, was piled on the secret records, without any show of evidence or appropriate investigation to date.

Regardless, but strangely, the Criminal Records Burueau gave me an enhanced CRB clearance record in May 2009, to stay and roam 24/7 with no restrictions, sleeping an unlocked landing away from the 9th Year Girls’ Dormitory at exclusive then £25,000 per annum Woldingham Girls Boarding School in Surrey freom 2009 -11.

Top people from U.K and abroad send their girls to exclusive Woldingham Catholic Girls’ Boarding school. This includes government minister’s daughters and foreign ambassadors daughters. My girlfriend at the time was a 9th year head and housemistress at this school. After maliciously prosecuting me in May 2011 for publishing material about this malpractice and corruption, and ongoinbg refusal to disclose records concerning the secret records and PNC Criminal Marker of October 2008 which was making it impossible for my son and I to pay the bills, I was warned by a West Mercia Police CID Officer that they would advise Woldingham School to sack my girfriend if I did not end our relationship.

I will be updating Woldingham’s Head Teacher in due course and suggesting that she calls the police in advance of adverse publicity for a written explanation as to why and how I was granted an enhanced CRB to stay at her school 24/7 before the tabloids get hold of the story.

Former West Police Chief Constable Paul West and his ACC colluded to fabricate very serious secret criminal records in 2008 about myself and eldest son concerning fabricated violent stalking etc. over the weekend of October 3rd/4th/5th 2008 culminating in a dangerous and devastating illegal PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker on my car and driving licence. The ACC ( Assistant Chief Constable ) made such extreme allegations about ongoing fear of violence from my son and I, that he gained enhanced security. His motives were despicable, wanting all U.K Police Forces on alert to stop and search me 24/7 in hope of finding sex dirt on me during my concurrent divorce from his sister. Thames Valley Police found a tame psychiatrist, Dr C R Ramsay of Aylesbury’s Whiteleaf secure mental hospital, to judge me a paranoid schizophrenic, delusional, bi polar, long term alcoholic and violent sex offender all on the strength of a 60 minute surprise visit after my overnight long HGV shift on March 19th 2019. Ramsay and Thames Valley Police got me fired from my job and dropped by the London Gender Identity Clinic after nearly 3 years living as a woman and awaiting referral for surgery.

My hormones were stopped immediately. All combined to force me, as in 2010, to cry for help over the internet because the authorities would not listen to me or explain themselves appropriately. My GP Dr Rahl Kamble of 3W Health, was very much part of this gross misconduct and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Due to my internet postings, I eventually gained a second opinion and Ramsay, who had been responding to Thames Valley Police lies, was discredited.

Jason Hogg, who had oversight of his force’s provocation, lies and previous malicious prosecutions, as Deputy Chief Constable, was promoted to Chief Constable and would still have been aware of his force’s ongong lies 2016-20 revenge for my May 2016 acquittal when I was prosecuted for asking his force to investigate my criminal ex brother in law, his lies and harassment as provocation for my return to the internet because his force and captive doctors were not going to help me.

They have destroyed mine and my eldest son’s lives ongoing. They act like the picture of innocence when they rush to the CPS when their stonewalling and insanity lies to lawyers, has driven me to expose this vile ongoing institutional police and NHS corruption.

My complaints to West Mercia Police’s laughable Professional Standards Department and West Mercia Police Authority were used to start an harassment file leading to my conviction and a malicious restraining order in May 2011 to criminalise any further complaints.

It is a very interesting story full of lies and contradictions from the police and NHS. But if the full story enters the public domain, as it should, the public should find it highly disturbing. I know I would, as an outsider. Corrupt senior police officers corrupt their aspiring underlings and should face penalties as inflated as their salaries.

Presumption of Innocence :

Thames Valley Police Press release regarding their suspended Chief Constble :

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for the Thames Valley, Matthew Barber, has today (28/1) announced that he has reinstated Chief Constable Jason Hogg back into his role, with immediate effect.

The PCC suspended Chief Constable Hogg on 16 January this year due to an investigation being conducted by the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC), which continues. You can read the PCC’s statement here.

Chief Constable Hogg said: “I am pleased to return to my role, and my focus remains firmly on leading our force and protecting our communities by fighting crime and supporting victims.

“I am deeply grateful for the ongoing professionalism and dedication shown by our officers, staff and volunteers who as ever remain absolutely committed to serving the public and delivering policing across the Thames Valley.”

Ben Snuggs, who was Acting Chief Constable, will now move back to his substantive role as Deputy Chief Constable.

Thames Valley Police is not in a position to make any further comment on the ongoing investigation by the IOPC.

Federation Statement on Suspension of Chief Constable Jason Hogg

Thames Valley Police Federation are aware PCC Matthew Barber has taken the decision to suspend our Chief Constable Jason Hogg from duty, in response to an investigation being led by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

We will not be making any comment on the ongoing investigation – apart from that all officers are entitled to a presumption of innocence until or unless an investigation into their conduct finds otherwise.

As a Federation we will be working with our other Chief Officers to ensure that our members receive the continuity of leadership that they, and our communities, require.

Image Caption Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Jason Hogg back at work but still under investigation for gross misconduct involving an unnamed former senior colleaguemThe Chief Constable is responsible for influencing the development of regional and national policing and may be accountable for national operations or standard setting.

Comment It was a pity that I was not granted a presumption of innocence when a then West Mercia Assistant Chief Constable and now a Chief Constable who happened to be my soon to be ex brother in law, who admitted on record, advising his sister during divorce, lied, in conspiracy with key members of his family and Chief Constable Paul West ( both former Thames Valley Officers ) that my eldest son and I were stalking him, in his police area hundreds of miles away from my home, threatening violence over the weekend of October 3rd/4th/5th 2008.

It took me until Novemeber 2009 when my divorce was absolute so my ex brother in law had no need to have police across the U.K chasing me 24/7 – after ACRO denied they had any criminal records on me – being prosecuted for criminal harassment and given a restraining order, through my efforts to discover why police were regularly chasing and searching my car, to discover that my ex brother in law had lied to gain a life destroying Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehicle Marker with vile records of stalking, terrifying his pre teen daughters and gaining enhanced security through MAPA because I was allegedly a violent sex offender. Evidence is not required in these corcumstances nor are they obliged to disclose their fabricated records of investigation.

The MAPPA slander and defamation was reiterated in March 2009 when Thames Valley Police directed NHS consultant psychiatrist Dr Christopher Ramsay, to conclude during a 60 minuted surprise visit 15 minutes after my return from a long overnight HGV shift, that I was a paranoid schizophrenic, delusional, bi polar and violent alcoholic on March 19th 2009.

Curiously, this unscrupulous doctor had previously referred me as suitable for gender reassignment in 2016, reiterating his view that I was not mentally ill on a report in 2017. So either he was incompetent or given some very disturbing off the record records that contineue to ruin mine and my sons’s lives.

That Thames Valley Police input most certainly included fabricated evidence that on December 12th 2017, I had outed myself as a gay whore working for my eldest son and his criminal associates in a home based brothel when I was in fact an HGV driver and had never had sex with a man in my life. However, they needed revenge for my acquittal, during Hogg’s tenure as Thames Valley Police Deputy Chief Conatable and most senior operational officer, when his force under his direct scrutiny and command, chose unsuucessfully to prosecute me for asking that their former Chief Superintendent, my ex brother in law, be investigated, on the basis of previously withheld evidence, for 1) Perjury 2) Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice 3) Misconduct in a public office.

So as soon as Thames Valley Police, through what West Midlands CPS informed me via massive disclosures, was called Operation Managing Robert Cook’ with MAPPA monitoring, they conacted my GP by a letter disclosed to me, that the February 5th 2018 false arrest and malicious prosecution for outing myself to police chiefs and ex in laws, was a matter of fact, rather than Thames Valley Police criminal and gross misconduct and group malice.

I have explained all of this in great detail elsewhere, but as I have said; it is a pity that I was not presumed innocent and subject to the due process of investigation.

Due process in the case of criminal markers, requires investigation and a series of warnings with a minimum of 3 overt acts. That did not happen in my case because senior police officers are basically unaccounatble and only ever caught out by chance or brave whistle blowers. I am also a professional writer, journalist and former maths teacher who was forced into HGV driving because secret police records destroyed me professionally. Their malicious involvement in directing my health care got me fired following Ramsay’s 2019 corrupt report, backed by my GP Dr Rahl Kamble of 3W health, Winslow Bckinghamshire.

But I still know how to add up the numbers, collect and analyse the data. Thames Valley and West Mercia Police, along with their associates, have a vested interest in presenting, and having the likes of Ramsay professional endorsement, as insane. Careers and the system’s credibility depend on this. That is why the U.K Health Secretary Wes Streeting is so opposed to investigating the dubious conviction and life sentences for former nurse Lucy Letby.

The problem has been that another consultant psychiatrist has now given a contary opinion on my mental health, as the second opinion that Ramsay lied I had refused 6 years ago. As I said, it is a pity that members of the public, like me, are not given the benefit of the doubt. But birds of feather flock together, massively supported by the likes of PM Starmer, former head of the corrupt Crown Prosecution Service. No wonder Starmer is so at home with Zelensky. Like Ukraine, the U.K is an increasingly horrifying police state along with the rest of the EU.

The Annual Assessment of Policing in England and Wales …Criminal Justice Inspectorateshttps://hmicfrs.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk › state-of-pol…

19 Jul 2024 — As at 31 March 2023, the number of full-time equivalent police officers in England and Wales reached an all-time high of 147,430 officers.

Comment I am no fan of excessive heavy handed intrusive policing, but that is not many officers for an official population exceeding 65 million. Here there are major issues of diversity, entitlement, serious social issues, poverty and cultural conflict. Then there are so many other issues, including knife gang crime, race hate crimes, stalking, rampant sex offences, the roads. But politicians put the emphasis on domestics and monitoring the internet. Add to that poor overpaid and privileged, often corrupt and or incompetent senior senior management running a force working with the target driven corrupt CPS that withheld evidence so as to give a life sentence to innocent Andrew Malkinson, and the primary role and behaviour of police does look like agents of a police state. Thames Valley Police’s Chief Constable Jason Hogg’s suspension on suspicion of gross misconduct, is the latest worrying example. They are very powerful figures in police state Britain.

The true cost of ignoring whistleblowers

New research reveals that not heeding warnings about systemic failures comes at a high price

By John Bowers

February 17, 2025

The life of the whistleblower is a lonely one. (S)he raises a concern and often finds that their organisation, instead of being grateful, shuns and avoids them. They are “sent to Coventry” in the old-fashioned sense. They then need to mind the yawning accountability gap which is found between raising their concerns and any action being taken. Very telling is a new survey by Protect, the whistleblowers charity, which shows that since 2017, only eight out of the 931 NHS whistleblowers who contacted the charity’s advice line said that they were thanked by their organisation, while 31 per cent told them that their concerns had been ignored. 

Too often there is a defensive reaction to whistleblowers, creating the equivalent of a protective huddle around the organisation. The classic response is to deny, delay, defend. Fear of reputational risk is huge, but often ignoring the uncovered issue causes more reputational damage in the end. This societal attitude is very costly, but until now it was unclear how much. Protect’s research indicates that the financial cost is massive. 

The charity’s report, called The Cost of Whistleblowing, considers three examples where brave whistleblowers have been ignored after raising concerns at an early stage. They are the Post Office Horizon scandal, the multiple deaths of babies at the Countess of Chester hospital, some of which former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby has been convicted of, and the collapse of Carillion, the construction giant. The first two are very well known; the effect of the latter was enormous as it involved many public private initiatives, such as hospitals and schools. But in all three instances the figures are sizeable: £177,967,265, £39,279,222 and £209,091,973 respectively. In the case of the Post Office, aside from the financial costs, ignoring early warnings resulted in wrecked lives, false convictions and reported suicides. In the Letby case, the result was the tragic deaths of babies. 

The amounts above are conservative estimates of the losses incurred by not listening to whistleblowers. They include the costs of police investigations, delays to essential building projects in the Carillion case and compensation payments. This money could have funded the construction of 14 new schools. Or it could have been spent on employing 1,440 doctors or 2,580 nurses for five years, the charity calculates. 

Any number of other matters could have been added to this sorry list. You can think immediately of the infected blood scandal and the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy. I am sure the true overall cost of ignoring whistleblowing is far higher than the figures above. 

Whistleblowing reform is clearly needed, but there is no consensus as to the way ahead—and the government shows little sign of wanting to look at the area at all. The model used so far (since the early days of the Blair government in the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998) is of employees bringing complaints in employment tribunals against their employers. I know from sitting part-time as a judge in such tribunals that non-legal lay members and litigants find whistleblowing legislation the most complex part of employment law to navigate. Disability discrimination is a close second, and is another area where many claimants are unrepresented. It is daunting for whistleblowing litigants, many of whom act in person. Lawyers’ fees mean going to the tribunal is costly, and it can take years, with the process often bogged down in the thickets of appeals. The psychological impact on whistleblowers can be immense. If you are in a narrow field of activity the chances of gaining another job are virtually zero.

Some think that we should change the whole pattern and that enforcement should be through a publicly funded Whistleblowing Commission. There is a nascent institution like this in Scotland for the NHS. So far, the reviews for it are mixed. In the NHS more broadly there are “Speak up Guardians” in all hospital trusts. They are often busy people, however, without autonomous decision-making power and they have limited resources. The Post Office scandal highlights another problem: sub-postmaster whistleblowers were not employees; they had no external body to approach in order to right the wrongs. 

We should keep the basic structure, but we should reform it. At the minimum there needs to be a duty placed on employers to investigate whistleblowing concerns—save where they are vexatious, as some are. This is vital to closing the accountability gap. So many whistleblowers I have interviewed for a forthcoming book say that they wrecked their careers (and in some cases their marriages). Meanwhile the body to whom they blew the whistle did nothing with the information disclosed.

These three scandals were ultimately exposed by MPs and journalists often working together—an important safety valve, of course—but they lack the power and resources of a regulator, and the statutory powers in many cases, to investigate. The government should ensure that all of the relevant regulators are much better equipped to act on whistleblowing concerns and that people know who their regulator is. There needs to be a consistent approach to how regulators interact with whistleblowers, and how they investigate whistleblowing concerns. This will build confidence and ensure that they act as an effective channel for such concerns. At present, this is varied.

Further, the range of people in the workplace who qualify for whistleblowing protection should be extended to include volunteers, non-executive directors and sub-postmasters. Some think that rewards for information are the answer. I would steer clear of that as it introduces perverse incentives and would lead to frivolous claims. The government’s policy lead for whistleblowing is currently in the Department for Business and Trade and focused solely on employment rights. They should migrate to the Cabinet Office and be firmly part of corporate governance.

The UK had the strongest whistleblower protection in the world when first introduced in 1998. Now the EU has caught up. We need to update the approach. At base, it is a change of culture towards one of accountability, responsibility and transparency that is needed. The costs of ignoring whistleblowing are immense—and now, as this research makes clear, they are obvious.

Poorest UK households pay rising share of income on council tax, study finds

Resolution Foundation report says failure to reform has ‘slowly recreated the issues that undid the poll tax’

Jasper Jolly Mon 17 Feb 2025 00.01 GMTLast modified on Mon 17 Feb 2025 15.43 GMT

Britain’s poorest households are paying an increasing share of their income on council tax, according to new analysis that likened it to the poll tax that contributed to the downfall of Margaret Thatcher.

The poorest fifth of households paid 4.8% of their income on council tax in England, Wales and Scotland and on domestic rates in Northern Ireland in the 2020-21 financial year, up from 2.9% in 2002-3, according to research by the Resolution Foundation.

Council taxes are one of the few levies on wealth in the UK, with different systems applied in each of the four countries.

However, they are seen by economists as deeply flawed, not least because the tax in England and Scotland is levied based on the value of properties in 1991, despite huge changes in the spread of wealth over the past three decades. Wales has updated its system to use 2003 valuations, while Scotland raised the rates on higher-banded properties in 2017. Northern Ireland still has a system of domestic rates, which predates council tax.

Highlighting the “regressive” nature of the tax, meaning poorer households pay more of their income towards it than richer ones, the Resolution Foundation said the failure to reform council tax had made it progressively worse.

It said the share of income that went on council tax was three times higher, at 4.8%, for the poorest fifth of households than the 1.5% paid by the richest fifth.

The share of council tax has risen partly because of the abolition of council tax benefit under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition in 2013 and the gradual removal of rebates in different areas.

The increase has “slowly recreated the issues that undid the poll tax”, the thinktank’s report said.

Thatcher introduced the poll tax, officially known as the community charge, at a flat rate for every adult. Used to fund local government, first in Scotland, then England and Wales, the levy replaced domestic rates, which had forced owners of expensive properties to pay more. The unpopularity of the poll tax, including a riot in Trafalgar Square, was a significant reason behind challenges to Margaret Thatcher’s rule that led to her resignation in 1990. John Major’s government introduced the council tax system in 1993 as a compromise.

Why Fewer Young People Are Going to University – VHR

40% of students are worried about university costs, perhaps unaware that there are alternatives available. 64% of young people have said they’d be interested in doing an apprenticeship if it led to a job they wanted. This suggests that many young people don’t know the opportunities apprenticeships can lead to.

U.K Universities use humanities courses as a continuation of secondary school political and WOKE indoctrination where high standards of literacy and questioning minds are not very welcome. This is the age of diversity, where the U.K plays a leading roll.

The best one can say about the U.K and its ruling elite, is that minus its empire the world does not have to listen to it anymore. Donald Trump, J D Vance, and Elon Musk must not be lured into listening to this land of arrogant aristocrats,lemmings, billionaires rampant feminists, puppet ‘liberal’ consensus politcians, bigots, hypocrirtes, patronising mainstream media, brainwashed, military madmen who want to start a war with Russia on their own if Trump won’t help them, fake democracy, exiled Russian oligarchs, and ignorant masses clinging to myths about what has been a miserable past for the many.

U.K Government Fool and Defence Secretary John Healey reiterated today that his defence review is to make U.K ready for war with Russia. His government are exploring ways to send fewer women to jail so as to make more room for men. That is what gender equality comes down to in the U.K.

Parents’ feelings being used to ‘shut up’ those seeking Lucy Letby review, suggests C of E newspaper

Church newspaper says those who ‘monstered’ convicted nurse in the media ‘are not backing off’

Streeting’s parents were teenagers when he was born. He has five brothers, a sister and a stepsister. His maternal grandfather was an armed robber, who hung out with the Kray Twins and spent time in prison, His grandmother became embroiled in his crimes and ended up in Holloway Prison, where she met high class call girl Christine Keeler (a key figure in the Profumo affair). She shared a cell with this infamous young girl who, along with her friend Mandy Rice Davies and pimp Dr Stephen Ward, brought down MacMillan’s Tory Government in 1963. Ward was an M15 agent spying on Russian agents via hiring out his call girls to get the pillow talk..

Campaigning to free Lucy Letby is not the right thing to do, says Wes Streeting

Health secretary says he will believe former nurse’s conviction is fair unless a court decides otherwise

Rachel Hall and David ConnMon 17 Feb 2025 10.42 GMTLast modified on Mon 17 Feb 2025 17.17 GMT

Wes Streeting has said that “waging a campaign” on behalf of Lucy Letby is “not the right thing to do”.

The health secretary said he would believe Letby’s conviction was fair unless a court decided otherwise.

Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted across two trials at Manchester crown court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.

She lost two attempts last year to challenge her convictions at the court of appeal – in May for seven murders and seven attempted murders, and in October for the attempted murder of a baby girl, of which she was convicted by a different jury at a retrial.

Asked if he had reconsidered his previous comments that speculation on the former nurse’s innocence was “crass and insensitive”, after an expert panel determined there was no medical evidence to support her conviction, he told LBC radio: “It is still the case that Lucy Letby is convicted of the crimes she was accused of. I know there is a campaign being waged, including by her legal team, to protest her innocence, and including some of my parliamentary colleagues.

“What I would say to those campaigners and to anyone else who’s involved in the court of public opinion, as it were, is that there is a judicial process to follow.”

He said people who thought there had been an unsafe or wrong conviction should “consider those grieving parents who’ve lost their babies”, and pursue legal routes to have her case looked at again because it was “not a political campaign, it’s a legal process”.

He added: “I still think that waging a campaign in this way in the wake of these convictions is not the right thing to do.

“Until I’m told otherwise by the courts of this land, then I continue to stand by the view that there’s been a fair conviction here until the courts determine otherwise; that’s how justice in this country works.”

Streeting urges caution over ‘clear Letby’ campaignBBChttps://www.bbc.co.uk › news › articles

The Health Secretary says he will believe Lucy Letby is guilty unless a court decides otherwise.

Health Secretary warns against ‘waging a campaign’ for …Manchester Evening Newshttps://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk › uk-news

The Health Secretary has warned against ‘waging a campaign’ to suggest Lucy Letby is innocent. The convicted serial baby killer, 35, .

Streeting served as Starmer’s New New Labour Secretary of State for Health and Social Care since July 2024.He has been the Member of Parliament for Ilford North since 2015. Brought up in Stepney, Streeting attended Westminster City School. He read history at the University of Cambridge and was President of the Cambridge Students’ Union from 2004 to 2005. He was the president of the National Union of Students (NUS) from 2008 to 2010.

Streeting is certainly equal to the thinking talking cardboad cut out called Sir Keir Starmer.

Comment This man has an interesting history as a career politician but has no practical experience of life and hard work outside the academic. With real villains with serious criminal associations in his past, his blind faith in Britain’s corrupt police and justice sysytem is fascinating. His boss, Sir Keir Starmer was head of England and Wales corrupt CPS where evidence was routinely withheld for the purposes of jailing all the men corrupt police dragged before the courts. I used to think it could not happen to an innocent woman, but now I know better. There are very good evidence based reasons for believing in Lucy Letby’s innocence and absolutely none for believing her guilt.

Lawyer Starmer’s New New Labour, just like Lawyer Blair’s New Labour, is hot on banning and cracking down on non ‘left wing consensus protests’ in the name of defending U.K’s contribution to Democratic Dicatatorship where everyone has the right to vote for 3 versions of the same thing – only one of two having any chance of winning. The lower classes are increasingly apathetic about this corrupt system, which is similar to the rest of the Europe that they have infected.

These hypocrites and sham democrats hate campaigns they have not encdorsed. If Lucy Letby is pardoned, there will be more unacceptable doubts about the system and obstacles to compensation just as there have been to Andrew Malkinson, wrongly jailed under Starmer’s watch. Lucy Letby is a special problem for Health Secretary Streeting because the Royal Chester Hospital where she worked was and still is filthy needing regular visits from plumbers to dispel the heaps of sewage backing up.

As a former teacher who spent several years teaching maths and science, I have reason to argue that outside of the nerds, very few kids benefit from the appalling tick box national cirriculum. So in adult life it is very easy to blind them with science. So jurors are very easily swayed by so called experts. In the Letby case, one so called expert had not practiced medicine for over 20 years and was well into old age. The court and national press, hung on his every word. Other experts who said the wrong things were discounted. But thanks to the Lucy Letby campaign, those experts et al are getting their act together.

I pray to God they succeed. There are doctors involved in this case. They have to be protected for the sake of a vile disgusting corrupt overloaded NHS system. Having just signed a consent form for invasive surgery, following my visit to Stoke Mandeville today, I had to read all the risk warnings. One of them concerned contracting deadly viruses and bacteria in the hospital. My mother had that experience in Milton Keynes General Hospital. She contracted the deadly c difficile and died within a few weeks of being discharged.

That is the squalor in which Lucy Letby did her best to keep very poorly babies alive. Since jailing her, the deaths have continued as they did when Lucy was not on shift. So it is absolutely appalling that Streeting thinks it wrong to campaign to free her from a living hell just because it will upset bereaved parents. Establishment thinking is that those parents need a scapegoat, innocent or guilty. But Streeting cares only to defend a rotten badly managed top heavy health (dis)service and so advance his career. It horrifies me that this person is tipped as a future Prime Minister, but he is certainly equal to the thinking talking cardboad cut out called Sir Keir Starmer.
