For many that normally read this blog you will be wanting an update on the operation Floret. I know this as many have emailed and made comments on social media asking where it is up to. Also as one post stated, if Gareth Fairhurst is quiet on the topic it is no doubt because he is nailing some to the cross, which I found funny.
Operation Floret is the investigation by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) into corrupt officers and council officials. My first post was about what the dodgy bent coppers and what Donna Hall had done. That blog post is here. Then I did an update here earlier in the year. Gee, that seems so long ago and with the pandemic, it seems a whole different age.
So, where are we up to I hear you shout? Well after the December meeting that I had with the senior police officer in December of last year it was clear that he was trying to line me up that it was going to come back with a result that I would describe as a whitewash. After months of doing nothing on the case I mean he did nothing at all, I had my first part of my report back and if it was not a serious matter it would be laughable. I am now able to confirm that I have made a number of complaints to GMP during this time about this senior officer that was investigating the dodgy coppers that he was either doing a cover-up or inept of being able to do the work and for me, the report shows this is certainly the case. I can't go into too many details for a number of reasons I now have the opportunity to send the whole case to the IOPC and show why not only I felt this way, but can clearly use the report to evidence the officer wasn't up to the job. The report contradicts itself numerous times and leaves blanks all over the place. I have carried out a synopsis and sent it to my legal team to review as the bent dodgy coppers will not get away from it that easily.
What is interesting I had learned also that Donna Hall didn't only waste half a million pounds on the Steve jones case where she unlawfully tried to sack a democratically elected member until a High Court stopper her. But she also used her position as Chief Executive Council to get monitored CCTV, floodlighting panic alarms rigged to the police, which were all installed at her house at the taxpayer's expense and used taxpayers funds to get a Barrister to sue me, which she failed. All of this has cost the wigan taxpayers and an additional £100,000, so I am informed. Now before we go further this is the woman that complained of her tyres on her car were slashed 6 times and her bins gone threw. But she had no proof of any of this. Now as I have said before if you have you slashed once you would be mad, twice livid, a third time if you have not already you would have CCTV cameras on your car all the time. she alleges this was meant to have happened in 2014 but she waited 4 years to report it to the police. She had no evidence at all that any of her allegations were even true but yet GMP bent coppers have cost us all know to the tune of £1 million pounds in her phony false baseless allegations against me and 3 others.
She also had the staff including what I am lead to believe a Council solicitor running around after her and meddling in a criminal investigation, which is against the code of solicitors. I have written to the Council about this and they fail to get back to me and I will take the next appropriate action against that council officer.
After a national newspaper article I have been contacted about helping do a book on the whole thing which I am in discussions with. So watch this space.
So, the top and bottom of it GMP find themselves not guilty of being dodgy even though their report shows this. I am sure GMP wouldn't have thought for one minute that this would be the end of it and they have confirmed to me already this morning that there are things missing out of the report and they will be sending me more later. If things are missing and they admit to it it just goes to demonstrate evidence the inept and capacity to do the work in the first place.
