However it seems he does not plan to relinquish his role as Mayor of London for the year or so between the General and Mayoral elections.
This is wrong !
Just as as wrong as when Ken Livingstone by not resigning as an MP when he was first elected as Mayor in May 2000, "double dipping" at the tax payer's expense until Jthe une 2001 General Election.
This is something which Boris rightly criticised him for during his Mayoral election campaigns.
Being a proper MP is a full time job, as is being Mayor of London.
]]>Congratulations to Boris Johnson the re-elected incumbent Mayor of London.
According to the BBC, his victory over Ken Livingstone was by a "tight margin" or "narrow"
London mayor: Boris Johnson wins second term by tight margin
BJohnson 51.5%
K.Livingstone: 48.5%
N.B. The BBC described the victory of Hollande over Sarkozy in the French Presidential election as " a clear victory"
Socialist Francois Hollande wins French presidency
F. Hollande 51,64%
N. Sarkozy 48,36%
It is too early to tell if Boris Johnson will keep his promise not to run for the leadership of the Conservative party in the future.
We can only hope that after years of broken promises, support for authoritarian human rights abusing dictatorships and extremist groups, denial of freedoms and liberties in London, insults to various individuals and communities and to our intelligence, waste of public money, etc. Ken Livingstone will keep his pledge that this was his "last election"
Have the various databases,email lists and financial details of the people who supported Ken Livingstone now been destroyed ?
Or are there multiple copies of this sensitive personal data to be found on Labour party appartchiks iPads and iPhones etc., waiting to be lost or stolen ?
Will the Labour party try to email the "supporters" of Ken Livingstone for some other "bait & switch" campaign ?
Will Ken Livingstone try to raise funds for one or other of his private businesses or pet projects by exploiting these "Ken Livingstone supporter" databases ?
Remember that, according to the Data Protection Act 1998, personal data which is collected for one purpose, must not be used for another one, without the prior informed consent of the individuals involved.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/29/schedule/1/paragraph/2
2 Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes.
Neither should it be kept for longer than necessary i/e/ to help elect Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London (and for no other purpose).
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/29/schedule/1/paragraph/5
5 Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.
The websites http://www.kenlivingstone.com and http://www.yourken.com currently point to the Labour Party website, but there has been no announcement sent out to the email lists about what exactly has happpened to the ("sensitive" because it implies political affiliation) personal data gathered via these websites etc.
Just how ill thought out this typical "enabling legislation" was is shown up by the Regulations which were published in December 2011:
The London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Advertising and Trading) (England) Regulations 2011
These have to list huge categories of Exemptions, which the original legislation made illegal and which would have created a massive bureaucratic mess, even for the Government and Local Authorities themselves.
Given the natural tendency of the "little Hitler" jobsworths who will be acting as paid or unpaid security guards and volunteer marshals and the same sort of behaviour which the Metropolitan Police is notorious for, we still expect there to be lots of incidents of harassment and intimidation of tourists and residents in the Olympic Advertising Zones (which extend far outside the actual sports stadium venues)
Why were these obvious (and obscure) Exceptions not debated in Parliament back in 2006 ?
7 Exception for demonstrations,
(1) Regulation 6 does not apply to advertising activity intended to--
(a)demonstrate support for or opposition to the views or actions of any person or body of persons,
(b)publicise a belief, cause or campaign, or
(c)mark or commemorate an event.
(2) But this exception does not apply to advertising activity that promotes or advertises--
(a)a good or service, or
(b)a person or body (excluding a not-for-profit body) that provides a good or service.
Since the "ambush advertising" enforcement powers include the power of forced entry into your private home or business premises, the original legislation without this exception was unthinkingly repressive and evil.
(1) Regulation 6 does not apply to an individual who engages in advertising activity only by doing one or more of the following, unless the individual knows or has reasonable cause to believe that he or she is participating in an ambush marketing campaign--
(a)wearing advertising attire,
(b)displaying an advertisement on the individual's body,
(c)carrying or holding personal property on which an advertisement is displayed.
(2) The fact that this exception applies to an individual does not affect the application of regulation 6 to any other person (whether in respect of the same advertising activity or otherwise).
Remember now, there is now no legal reason for you to harassed for wearing the "wrong" brand (i.e. not made by an official Olympics sponsor) of sportswear or carrying the "wrong" brand of soft drink etc. which the original legislation banned.
9 Exceptions modelled on the Town and Country Planning Regulations
(1) Regulation 6 does not apply to advertising activity that consists of--
(n)an advertisement within Class 16 (advertisements on telephone kiosks).
So adverts on telephone kiosks or booths do still; need the permission of the Olympics bureaucrats,
Presumably the inevitable telephone booth cards advertising the services of prostitutes (one of the most established forms of "ambush" or "guerilla" advertising) , will therefore be allowed to flourish, since the jobsworths who only be targeting the "legitimate" paid for adverts within such telephone kiosks.
No doubt there will be plenty of UK and foreign Olympic officials who will be caught pretending to be "inspecting" such prostitutes, who have dared to use the words or symbols of the "Olympics" monopoly in their advertising.
(1) Regulation 6 does not apply to advertising activity of a description falling within paragraphs (2) to (7).
(2) Displaying an advertisement that is employed wholly as--
(a)a memorial, or
(b)a railway signal,
Surely anyone who displays an advertisement on a "railway signal" should be prosecuted under other legislation for endangering lives on the railway ?
(3) Distributing or providing a current newspaper or periodical.
(4) Advertising activity undertaken in accordance with a condition attached to an authorisation granted under regulation 15 (trading activity authorised by the Olympic Delivery Authority &c.).
(5) Displaying an advertisement on an aircraft for one or more of the following purposes--(a)complying with the law of the United Kingdom or any other country, being law in force in relation to the aircraft,
(b)securing the safety of the aircraft or any person or property therein,
(c)the furtherance, by or on behalf of a Government department, by a person acting under any public duty or by a person providing ambulance or rescue facilities by air, of measures in connection with circumstances, existing or imminent at the time the aircraft is used, which may cause danger to persons or property,
(d)civil defence, military or police purposes.(6) Displaying a mark or inscription (other than an illuminated sign) on the body of an aeroplane or helicopter.
The original legislation banned advertisements on Aircraft and Helicopters
(7) Displaying an advertisement on an item of street furniture provided that the advertisement--
(a)is not illuminated,
(b)bears only the name, contact details and device (or any one or more of those things) of the manufacturer, owner and operator of the street furniture (or any one or more of those persons), and
(c)is not displayed as part of an ambush marketing campaign.
The politicians who drew up the original Act forgot that Local Authorities etc. would have had to bureaucratically apply for permission from the Olympic Delivery Authority for permission to continue to display their own signs etc. on street furniture.
(1) In this Part--
[...]
(3) Advertising activity that consists of the display of an advertisement on a personal communication device is not to be treated as advertising activity for the purposes of this Part unless the advertiser intends the advertisement to be displayed, by means of the device, to the public at large (rather than only to the individual using the device).(
4) In paragraph (3), "personal communication device" means a mobile telephone or other personal interactive communication device.
The original legislation banned unapproved adverts on your Mobile Phone !
(1) Regulation 13 does not apply to trading activity of a description falling within paragraphs (2) to (12).
(2) Selling a current newspaper or periodical.
(3) Trading activity undertaken or controlled by the London Organising Committee on enclosed land on which a London Olympic Event is taking place or to take place.
(4) Selling or delivering an article to a person in premises adjoining a highway.
(5) Selling a motor vehicle on private land generally used for the sale of motor vehicles.
(6) Supplying motor vehicle cleaning services on private land generally used for the supply of those services.
(7) Supplying motor vehicle parking services in a building or on other land designed or generally used for the parking of motor vehicles.
The original legislation banned private Car Parks unless licensed by the Olympic Delivery Authority !
(8) Providing a public sanitary convenience.
The original legislation banned Public Toilets ("spend a penny / 20p / 50p £1 etc.") unless licensed by the Olympic Delivery Authority !
(9) Providing a permanent telephone kiosk.
The original legislation banned Public Telephone Kiosks unless licensed by the Olympic Delivery Authority !
(10) Trading as a walking tour operator.
(11) Supplying public transport services including tourist services.
The original legislation banned Taxis, Buses, Tubes, Railways and "tourist services" unless licensed by the Olympic Delivery Authority !
(12) Trading activity on private land adjacent to exempt retail premises provided that the trading activity--
(a)forms part of the usual business of the owner of the premises or a person assessed for uniform business rate in respect of the premises, and
(b)takes place during the period during which the premises are open to the public for business.(13) Paragraph (2) does not apply to selling a current newspaper or periodical in a street if the selling is done from a receptacle that causes undue interference or inconvenience to persons using the street.
(14) In this regulation--"exempt retail premises" means a building normally used as--
(a)a shop,
(b)a restaurant, bar, or other premises used for the supply of meals, refreshments or alcohol to the public, or
(c)a petrol filling station,"sanitary convenience" has the same meaning as in the Building Act 1984(1),
"tourist services" means public transport services primarily for the benefit of tourists, and"walking tour operator" means a person that supplies services to the public comprising tours of an area on foot.
Why should the Olympics impose such unnecessary regulations and restrictions for the sake of a few monopolistic advertising sponsors ?
The extent of the Olympic Event Zones is huge and extends far beyond the Olympic Park - including the many miles of the marathon and cycle races, the seafront at Weymouth for the sailing events, and sports stadia in Wimbledon, Manchester and Coventry etc. This also covers the airspace above these venues.
SCHEDULE 1
1. In these Regulations, "event zone" means each of the following zones:
(a)the City of Coventry Stadium zone,
(b)the Earls Court zone,
(c)the Eton Dorney zone,
(d)the ExCel zone,
(e)the Greenwich Park zone,
(f)the Hadleigh Farm zone,
(g)the Horse Guards Parade zone,
(h)the Hyde Park zone,
(i)the Lee Valley White Water Centre zone,
(j)the Lord's Cricket Ground zone,
(k)the North Greenwich Arena zone,
(l)the Old Trafford zone,
(m)the Olympic marathon zone,
(n)the Olympic Park zone,
(o)the Olympic race walk zone,
(p)the Olympic road cycling zone,
(q)the Olympic time trial zone.
(r)the Olympic triathlon zone,
(s)the Paralympic marathon zone,
(t)the Paralympic road cycling zone.
(u)the Royal Artillery Barracks zone,
(v)the St James Park Stadium zone,
(w)the Wembley zone,
(x)the Weymouth and Portland zone, and
(y)the Wimbledon zone.2. An event zone comprises the non-shaded area that is bounded externally by a dotted green line shown on the deposited map together with--
(a)any road on the deposited map that is marked with a blue line (an "event road"),
(b)the pavement on each side of an event road or, where there is no pavement, the land or water that is within two metres of each side of the road, but excluding the frontage of any building on that pavement or land, and
(c)where an event road is carried by a bridge, the entire structure of that bridge.3. An event zone includes the airspace above the land or water in that zone.
4. If any part of a railway station is on or above the ground in an event zone, all parts of that station (whether on, above or under the ground and whether in or outside the event zone) are to be taken as being within the event zone.
The Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition government has amended some of the worst excesses of Labour's original legislation, but they have still missed some huge potential areas of repression, which, hopefully, will be too difficult to enforce e.g. there is still no exception for displaying broadcast television or radio adverts (especially foreign ones) or for desktop or laptop computers connected to the internet - which could be used both for unapproved Advertising or for Trading.
We wish him the best of luck, as he will need it, to fulfil his promise to cut crime in London and to deliver a safe Olympic Games.
He should learn from the mistakes of his predecessors as Commissioner or other senior ranks and ensure that
Riot boy's family is kicked out of home: Suspected looter and his mother are the first to be punished with evictionBy Jack Doyle
Last updated at 2:28 PM on 13th August 2011
A suspected looter in this week's riots and his mother are being thrown out of their council home.In the first case of its kind, Daniel Sartain-Clarke, 18, and his mother have been served with an eviction notice as council bosses seek to turf them out of their £225,000 taxpayer-subsidised flat.
Sartain-Clarke is charged with violent disorder and attempting to steal electronic goods from the Currys store at Clapham Junction, South London, on Monday night.
Under housing rules his mother - as the tenant - can be evicted from their two-bedroom flat in Battersea if anyone living there is involved in criminality.
Sartain-Clarke was arrested after more than 100 looters went on the rampage on Monday night. For two hours, the mob ransacked mobile phone stores and sports shops such as Foot Locker and JD Sports.
He appeared before magistrates in Battersea on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to burglary and violent disorder. He and two co-defendants were remanded in custody.
So he he has not yet actually been tried and convicted, has he ?
Therefore he should be treated, for now, as innocent until proven guilty
Wandsworth Council have therefore been too quick off the mark in this particular case, in their political mob mentality haste, to Be Seen To Be Doing Something about the riots.
Why could they not have waited a few days or weeks, to see if the man (he is 18 years old) is actually convicted or not ?
Their extra-judical punishment of his family and extensive publicity about this case is clearly a Contempt of Court , exactly like that in the recent Joanna Yates murder case, where tabloid newspapers were heavily fined for the "risk of serious prejudice to any future trial"
The Council Tax payers of Wandsworth will end up paying substantial damages and legal costs, because of this hasty political blunder.

Police have not requested a #mediablackout and are continuing to provide updates
All that they have to say via Twitter is the very uninformative:
12:45 AM August 8th 2011metpoliceuk Metropolitan Police
Police are responding to a significant amount of criminal activity across London and are deploying officers to tackle it.
No doubt some people will be calling for the Mayor of London, the Acting Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and the Prime Minister to interrupt their holidays to return to London.
Why ? What exactly are they going to do that cannot be done over the phone ?
Any such interruption in their holidays would be a sign of weakness, giving the violent criminals more power than they deserve.
]]>The Olympic Stadium site is only 7 kilometres away, but Tottenham might as well be on the moon, for all the "regeneration" benefit the billions wasted on the Olympics project will have locally.
The local (Labour) politicians and "community leaders" are appealing for calm etc., but they all have an air of failure and despair about them - they know that this riot will make local life even bleaker than it was before.
Why should there be any sympathetic media coverage of these riots whatsoever ?
There are several reports of press photographers and video camera crews being attacked by the gangs of looters:
The BBC reports:
Riots in Tottenham after Mark Duggan shooting protest
A BBC TV news crew and satellite truck also came under attack from youths throwing missiles.
The Mail on Sunday reports:
Meanwhile, two Mail on Sunday photographers were viciously beaten and robbed by masked youths armed with crowbars and other makeshift weapons and reporters on the scene were threatened by looters in balaclavas.
The photographers said there was 'total lawlessness' in the area with the contents of shops strewn across the streets and the police unable to gain access.
One said: 'It is utter carnage out there. We have been beaten up quite badly and had about £8,000 of equipment stolen. We were quite discreet but as soon as we got a camera out we were set on by youths with masks who were armed with crowbars.'
In a separate incident, a Mail on Sunday reporter was chased down a side street and struck on the back of the head with a rock.
The criminals also even attacked (white) left wing , anti-police violence sympathisers, accusing them of being undercover policemen.
PoliceStateUk twitters:
@PoliceStateUK
For a refreshing change of pace, just got beaten up by rioters instead of riot police. Apparently I look like an undercover cop.
@PoliceStateUK
... Mark Kennedy has a lot to answer for :-) Some older onlookers kindly waded in and rescued me from the lads that didn't like me.

@FortisGreen75 Pete Mellows
#Tottenham: Back from the High Road having been attacked for looking like an undercover cop!? Literally owe my life to 3 or 4 guys.
No doubt their will be months of investigations and perhaps an Inquiry, into the original shooting incident and into the police riot response.
However, he was correctly and commendably utterly silent in public during the General Election campaign, unlike his NuLabour predecessor Sir Ian Blair during the 2005 campaign.
It is also very encouraging to read this Daily Telegraph report:
Met chief Sir Paul Stephenson: scrap police bonuses
All police bonuses should be scrapped to prove that officers are motivated by their duty to serve the public, according to Sir Paul Stephenson, Britain's most senior policeman.
By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
Published: 10:01PM BST 17 May 2010[...]
Sir Paul, who is paid £250,000 a year for running Britain's largest force, has turned down more than £100,000 worth of performance-related bonuses since 2005.
"If I had accepted a bonus I always felt as though I would compromise my operational independence and discharge of duties, and that is something that forms the basis to my whole approach to policing," he said.
"I am very disappointed that we still have bonus payments in policing. Now is the time to get rid of them as far as I'm concerned. They should never have been there in the first place."
[...]
We do not begrudge Sir Paul Stephenson his salary of only £250,000 a year, given that he is responsible for a budget of three and a half billion pounds a year of public money and "more than 33,000 officers together with about 14,200 police staff, 270 traffic wardens and 4,700 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs)".
Perhaps there will really be a return to Sir Robert Peel's principles of policing
]]>See The Daily Mail Revealed: The new $1billion high-security U.S. London embassy... complete with moat
The winning US architects Kieran Timberlake ISO give some more details about their "environmental" thinking behind the design on their blog: New U.S. Embassy in London
The design places the embassy building at the center of the Nine Elms site and develops the surrounding area into an urban park. The new embassy meets all the required security standards while honoring the English tradition of urban parks and gardens as the context for many civic buildings. The new embassy, with its gardens, will establish a strong framework for the urbanization of the Nine Elms redevelopment zone.
No doubt there will be some demand for food and drink establishments in the surrounding area to serve the queues of tourists and businessmen planning to travel to the USA, who have to present themselves for intrusive visa application interviews and, fingerprinting etc.
Similarly the commercial lobbyists and the private military contractor / mercenary / security companies within walking distance of the current US Embassy in Grosvenor Square will probably also want some offices nearby.
The computer generated images and architects scale models of the winning design, and of its rivals, are all very well and good, but they bear no relation to the reality of the current run down site in Battersea, with low rise warehouses etc.
(via Microsoft Bing Maps Birds Eye Aerial View)
All of these architectural illustrations have the US Embassy surrounded on three sides by several, as yet non-existent, presumably office tower blocks
Surely it will be many years before the new US Embassy site at Nine Elms will be hemmed in by a Canary Wharf or even Croydon style collection of high rise office buildings, no matter what Wandsworth Council's vague "regeneration" plans are ?
What about all the extra road traffic congestion which such a collection of office blocks will create ?
It is all very well talking of an "Urban Park", but if this "green space" and "pedestrian piazzas" are within the official US Embassy site i.e. what will no longer be United Kingdom territory, then this will have a big effect on the policing of the sometimes large numbers of people who hold protests or demonstrations outside the current US Embassy in Mayfair.
Where exactly are peaceful protesters meant to congregate in this new US Embassy design ?
[...]
• Viewed from the north at the proposed plaza, the embassy grounds will provide the prospect of an open park, a landscape of grasses rising gracefully to the new embassy colonnade, with the required secure boundaries incised into the hillside and out of view. Instead of a perimeter-walled precinct, the site to the north and south is a welcoming urban amenity, a park for the city that fuses the new embassy to the city of London. Alternatives to perimeter walls and fences are achieved through landscape design.
• The spiraling form of the landscape is expressed through grading, walks and plantings in a way that simultaneously opens out to the city beyond and spirals inward as it envelops and then moves up into and through the embassy building. As a choice of form, the spiraling garden is meaningful as it represents connections of site to landscape to building.
• The connections to the surrounding urban context, both existing and proposed, begin in an open geometry well beyond the site at the Thames embankments and the proposed Vauxhall-to-Battersea pedestrian way.
• The walks and landscape forms begin their inward spiral at the outer boundaries of the site. They sweep past the pond to the entry court that opens to the Main Lobby for staff and their guests. At the opposite side of the Main Lobby, the Gallery spirals down to the north culminating in the large Multi-Purpose Hall that merges with the grade of the spiraling Consular Walk above.
• At the main entry, the site spiral continues beyond to the great arc of the Consular Garden, carrying the visitor up the Consular Walk and into the Consular Lobby and promenade overlooking the pond and the Thames embankment to the north.
• The visitor continues this spiral within the embassy, revolving about the core and up to the consular floor above, pausing along the way to overlook the Main Lobby, a significant moment where the necessarily separate worlds of the embassy - consular visitors and staff - visually intersect.
[...]
Landscape
• Rather than employing a plinth to accommodate the large programs located at the lowest levels of the building, the colonnade sits atop a gently rising earthen mound. Within this landscape form are parking garage ramps and basement service and mechanical areas to the south, and the lower level of the Gallery and Multi-Purpose Meeting Space to the north and west.
• Instead of fragmenting the embassy into a plinth and tower, this strategy transforms the large footprints of the lower levels along with the entrance pavilions into earthen landscape form to enhance the prominence of the embassy colonnade and transparent building.
There is another cube like white building by the River Thames, built by powerful foreigners, which dominated the dingy surrounding area, which was also built on landscaped earthworks forcing visitors into a more easily surveilled defensive spiral approach, and partially surrounded by both wet and dry moats:
William the Conqueror's White Tower the central Norman castle keep of the Tower of London
Statutory Instrument 2009 No. 1573 - The Olympic Route Network Designation Order 2009
Made: 23rd June 2009
Laid before Parliament: 30th June 2009
Coming into force: 22nd July 2009
This designates a huge number of London streets (with a few in Weymouth, Dorset, where some of the sailing events are to be held), for abuse by foreign Olympic Games officials and corporate sponsors.
If you are a regular vehicle user of these roads, then get to the back of the queue, because you will be snooped on with Automatic Number Plate Recognition CCTV cameras, helicopters, aerial robot drones etc. so that the Olympics apparatchiki can enjoy Communist style Zil lanes, from which ordinary Londoners and the rest of the British public will be banned.
This will cause travel chaos for ordinary London road users.
Even if you are pedestrian or bicyclist, you will be subjected to the evil Advertising Monopoly on behalf of the Official Corporate Sponsors. Woe betide you if are wearing the "wrong" tee-shirt, hat , sports shoes etc.or are drinking the "wrong" brand soft drink or alcohol - you will be harassed by the jobsworth Security enforcers, and probably be arrested as a "guerrilla marketer" or terrorist etc.
The extent of the disruption to many of the main roads affected by this Order is staggering, especially since the athletes and officials are supposedly confined to the Olympic Village, close by the main sports arena venues, so it will mostly be alleged"VIPs" and "celebrities" who use them.
Anyone who thought that it would only be a few roads in the immediate vicinity of the Olympic Games sites, is in for a big shock.
The roads affected are:

Card fraud probe targets 300 detectives
Scotland Yard officers are suspected of defrauding taxpayers of millions
* Rajeev Syal, investigations editor
* The Observer, Sunday 14 June 2009More than 300 elite Scotland Yard detectives are suspected of defrauding the taxpayer of millions of pounds by abusing their corporate credit cards, the Observer can disclose.
300 detectives ???
Auditors who have examined the American Express accounts of 3,500 officers involved in countering terrorism and organised crime have reported almost one in 11 detectives to the Metropolitan Police's internal investigators.
A senior officer appears to have spent £40,000 on his Amex card in one year, without authorisation. Items bought by others without permission include suits, women's clothing and fishing rods.
The scale of the suspected fraud, disclosed in an internal Metropolitan Police Authority report, will send shock waves through the force. Until now, the investigation into expenses fraud was thought to have focused on fewer than 40 officers. It comes days after Sir Paul Stephenson, the Met Commissioner, faced the potentially damaging disclosure that six officers face investigation over claims that a drug suspect's head was forced into a lavatory that was flushed repeatedly.
[...]
Auditors at the Metropolitan Police Authority have spent two years examining receipts from the accounts of more than 3,500 officers. The Amex cards were issued in 2006 to detectives from specialist operations, which includes counter-terrorism and those involved in diplomatic and royalty protection.
The scheme was then extended to the specialist crime directorate, which counters organised crime, as well as conducting sensitive inquiries such as the cash-for-honours investigation.
The cards were for travel and subsistence, so that officers did not have to spend their own money while on long-running investigations away from their Scotland Yard base.
Sources have told the Observer that some detectives had fallen into the habit of withdrawing hundreds of pounds at a time from cashpoints. Other officers appear to have filled in blank receipts from restaurants to account for cash payments.
One source said: "Some people bought three-piece suits while in the far east and claimed that they needed them for work. But it would not have taken much nous to realise that it was 45C in the shade, and not the weather for a waistcoat."
The number of suspected fraudsters will be presented to the Met at a meeting tomorrow.
A report by Peter Tickner, the head of internal audit at the Metropolitan Police Authority, states that it has finished examining the Amex accounts of all officers. "In excess of 300 police officers have been referred to the Directorate of Professional Standards [DPS] by my staff and 46 of these have become formal investigations overseen by the Independent Police Complaints Commission," he wrote.
Only detectives suspected of overcharging by more than £1,000 have been referred to the DPS. Its investigators are believed to be examining hundreds of files.
Ordinary members of the public would have been fired and / or prosecuted for far less of a fiddle than £1000 !
The use of Amex cards was halted in December 2007. A number of officers have already been arrested in connection with the investigation.
So the corporate Amex cards were issued in 2006, and withdrawn at the end of 2007- what disgraceful mismanagement by Sir Ian Blair and his senior managers, including Sir Paul Stephenson !
Will nobody at Scotland Yard have the honour to take responsibility for this scandal and resign ?
Will Mayor of London Boris Johnson act decisively to restore public confidence in the Metropolitan Police Service

Some political campaigners have already been complaining that the lengthy Ballot Paper has been "razor folded" deliberately, supposedly to try to make it harder for certain parties to be noticed.
Presumably they are relying on illiterate voters with a short attention span, using some sort of random "lucky dip" approach to voting, who will somehow not bother to examine and read the whole of the Ballot Paper.

]]>London Underground stays in mobile dark ages
By Natasha Lomas silicon.com
Posted on ZDNet News: Mar 16, 2009 8:54:54 AM
A plan to put mobile connectivity on the London Underground has stalled.
Back in March 2007, Transport for London (TfL) put out a tender for a six-month trial of mobile-phone technology on the Waterloo and City line. The aim of the trial -- originally scheduled for 2008 -- was to determine whether it would be technically and commercially viable for coverage to be extended across the entire Tube network.
Speaking at the time, Richard Parry, strategy and service development director of London Underground, said: "We recognize that there is now growing demand for mobile coverage to be extended to deep-level sections of the Tube."
However, two years on and no trial later the conclusion seems to be that mobiles on the Tube are not commercially viable. A TfL spokeswoman told ZDNet UK's sister site, silicon.com, that three proposals were received by the October 2007 deadline but none were considered commercially "credible".
"London Underground tendered for a trial of mobile phones on the Waterloo and City line but the market has yet to provide us with a credible proposal for enabling mobile-phone use on the Tube," she said.
The high costs associated with the tenders appear to have seen the project shelved.
"While it is technically possible to deploy mobile-phone and data-wireless solutions on the deep-level Underground tunnels and stations, the unique nature and environment of the Tube mean that project costs would be prohibitively high at this time," the spokeswoman said.
TfL is still open to commercial approaches, according to the spokeswoman, but there are currently no active plans to trial or deploy cellular technology -- meaning the Underground mobile-network rollout has effectively hit the buffers.
[...]
Earlier this year, the Airwave emergency communication system went live on the Underground -- which means police and other emergency services personnel are now able to communicate wirelessly through 250 miles of Tube tunnels.
It sounds as if TfL have been too greedy in what they were planning to charge the Mobile Network Operators. Nobody could possibly have made any money, or even covered their costs,on the Waterloo and City Line pilot project - it is far too short a journey.
The prospects of "I will see you in a few minutes" or endless other annoying one sided conversations in public, is one which many people will not regret missing out on on the Tube.
The potential risks of mobile phone activated bombs on the deep Tube, are not to be dismissed lightly either.
Hopefully.any Deep Tube mobile phone location tracking surveillance infrastructure (which would have been provided for free, piggy backing on top of a commercial phone service) will also prove to be too expensive to justify financially. Such surveillance infrastructure obviously already exists for much of the above ground sections of London Underground rail lines.
]]>Not content with trying to force them on to every licensed premises, as part of the alcohol or entertainment license application process, something for which the Information Commissioner has had to criticise them for, their latest anti-terrorism poster campaign is peddling nonsensical falsehoods about terrorist bombs and CCTV cameras.
See Spy Blog: Metropolitan Police terrorism fear Propaganda Poster lies about bombs, reconnaissance and CCTV cameras
This campaign includes this false and misleading poster, which claims a non existent link between public CCTV and protection against terrorist bombs:
"A bomb won't go off here because weeks before a shopper reported someone studying the CCTV cameras"
There is no evidence that any Islamic extremist or Irish terrorists or Animal Rights extremists or neo-Nazi extremists, who have exploded, or tried to explode bombs, or set off incendiary devices, have been deterred from doing so by the presence of CCTV cameras. Some may have been tracked down partially through the help of CCTV footage, after their attacks or attempted attacks, but that is not what this poster is implying.
There is no evidence that any of them who have actually had access to any explosives, have ever been caught in the act of "terrorist reconnaissance" of CCTV cameras, neither by members of the public (which is what this poster misleadingly claims), nor by regular Police street patrols, nor even by any covert surveillance of known suspects.
Since you do not need any equipment to check out where public CCTV cameras are, just your eyes and your memory, it is unlikely that any real terrorism or criminal reconnaissance of CCTV camera systems will ever be detected in the way that this poster implies.
This poster is just Climate of Fear propaganda, and it will no doubt be used to justify the harassment of photographers taking photos, perfectly legally in public places, which have been infested with CCTV spy cameras, something for which there is plenty of evidence for.

We are reporting this misleading poster to the Advertising Standards Authority, and urge you all to do the same.
Will Mayor of London Boris Johnson tolerate this ineffective, wasteful and repressive propaganda nonsense or not ?
]]>e.g. BBC Stephenson to become new Met boss
The fact the decision to appoint the deputy to the previous Commissioner Sir Ian Blair to the post, has been leaked to the media ahead of the official announcement, sends exactly the wrong signal - it looks like the all too cosy relationship between the Labour Government's media manipulators and the head of Britain's largest Police force is continuing, just as before.
Will Sir Paul continue to be tainted by personal involvement in all of he major cockups and scandals involving the senior ranks of Metropolitan Police under Sir Ian Blair, or will he be able to get back to the fundamental principles of proper policing as espoused by Sir Robert Peel back in the 19th Century:
- *Every police officer should be issued a badge number, to assure accountability for his actions.
- Whether the police are effective is not measured on the number of arrests, but on the lack of crime.
- Above all else, an effective authority figure knows trust and accountability are paramount. Hence, Peel's most often quoted principle: The police are the public and the public are the police.
