ALL CHANGE AT THE TOP

SHAREHOLDERS OR STAKEHOLDERS

BECAUSE THE PUBLIC HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT PUBLIC SPENDING THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS TAKE AN INTEREST IN THESE MATTERS AND LIKE TO KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING.A POLICE FORCE MIGHT BE FINANCED BY THE HOME OFFICE BUT WHERE THEIR ACTIVITIES MIGHT BENEFIT PEOPLE IN THE BOROUGH THEY CAN ASK THE POLICE AUTHORITY TO HELP OUT.THEY IN TURN CAN ASK THE FULL COUNCIL TO INCREASE THE COUNCIL TAX. A BIG EVENT LIKE THE OLYMPICS OR AN IMPORTANT EVICTION CAN THUS BE CATERED FOR.
IN BUSINESS TERMS THE PUBLIC EXPECT A FULL REPORT AT THE AGM FROM THE OFFICERS IN CHARGE -WHAT WENT WELL AND WHAT WENT WRONG WITH PLANS TO RECTIFY ANY SHORTCOMINGS.

In recent times the Police Authority has been scrapped and in its place the government have put Police Commissioners who along with the police chiefs are to plan the future police activities.In Essex there has been a further complication in that the Chief  of Police has stepped down and a new man has been appointed.Gone is Chief Constable Jim Barker McCardle and in comes an experienced officer from the MET.
***********************************************
We can not fairly hold the new men on the block responsible for what has gone on in Essex in the past but do you see the dilemma ?a full account of the Dale Farm eviction would eventually have gone to the  Police Authority and through them to the general public who are now left in the dark about the effectiveness of measures sanctioned by Tony Ball and J.B.McCardle.
***********************************************
MANY MILLIONS OF POUNDS HAVE BEEN SPENT - AND ACCORDING TO LORD AVEMORE -  WASTED  - ON THE FORCED EVICTION IN OCTOBER 2011.
COULD THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY ? THAT IS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
IN ORDER TO JUDGE THESE MATTERS WE NEED MUCH MORE RELIABLE INFORMATION BUT ALL WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT IS THE "information"document"PUBLISHED ON THE POLICE WEBSITE IN MARCH 2011....A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL LOOKING AND SKIMPY PIECE OF WORK.
*********************************************
THERE WAS A FOLLOW UP OF SORTS IN THE SHAPE OF A VIDEO+TEXT WHICH APPEARED BRIEFLY ON UTUBE BUT WAS WITHDRAWN.THE TEXT INVOLVED THE POLICE SPOKESMAN,SUPT. TREVOR ROE,WHO FACED THE PRESS ON THE DAY OF THE EVICTION AND WAS FEATURED IN THE BBC/LONDON COVERAGE WHERE HE DID A STERLING JOB OF FENDING OFF DOZENS OF QUESTIONS FROM NUMEROUS REPORTERS.NOTHING SEEMED TO PHASE HIM.HERE HE OUTLINES POLICE THINKING.
"where we have intelligence that there is likely to be violence
we need to protect the members of the public including
Bailiffs,Police Officers,Travellers and Protestors from injury.
We also need to provide access for all emergency services
should they need to enter or exit the site.
 ACCORDING TO THIS THE INVASION AT DAWN BY 300 RIOT POLICE WAS TO PROTECT EVERYBODY THERE FROM HARM
Only one group was not mentioned - the international Press Corps who were present in large numbers.
THE QUESTION ARISES - WHERE WAS THE HARM COMING FROM....?
****************************************************
A clue may be found in the Press conference held in the early days of September 2011 in which Chief Supt.Tim Stokes presided and revealed to the reporters that a plot had been uncovered in which thousands of anarchists wsere planning to hijack the forthcoming eviction.
The thought occurs that perhaps the anarchists had second thoughts when they realized that the detective was on to their dastardly plan and decided to abandon all thoughts of unlawful activites at the last minute - before the riot squad could be demobilized -say my Irish friends.
(perhaps we might examine that information document a bit more closely,given time ?)
