With Guilty Pleas to Murder, Rape & Kidnapping, I hope Sarah Everard’s family will find some little comfort in knowing that justice has been done

There are BIG questions for @metpoliceuk & for wider society that we must confront

Why do men do what we do?
theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/j…
The “not all men” posters are, of course right BUT violent men do not operate in a vacuum.
None of the 100s of rapists I prosecuted were driven by sex, it was always ‘power & control’
It was always misogyny
A belief that they were entitled
That we don’t tackle enough or at all
To all the men asking “what can I do?”
I’m Patron of a new non-profit @whatcanidoWCID

We hope to help men understand what they themselves can do to prevent women living in fear from them

You say something about male violence against women & you lose followers
I don’t give a F**K
>95% of violence agst women is by men
>95% of violence agst men is by men
>90% of violence agst kids is by men

Male violence is the issue here
I don’t need followers that won’t accept it
Remember the Govt’s response in the aftermath of the murder was to offer to increase street lighting

More lighting to show up the inadequacy of their response

It is a pandemic emergency - where are the Cobra meetings, the billions in funding, the preventative measures?

Nothing

I don’t see Dominic Cummings as a whistleblower, I see him as a participating informant
A “grass”
In my experience, they tell the truth, particularly when they’ve kept the receipts
#selectcommittee
Thursday 12 March. Cummings text to Johnson "we've got big problems... we're looking at 100k to 500k deaths if we delay"

On the same day the Govt stopped Community Testing
My brother couldn’t get tested unless he was in hospital, hospital was full
He died at home alone on 8/4
Cummings mentions this Spider-Man meme to describe how everybody in Govt was pointing at everybody else as being responsible for the Covid disaster
As Spider-Man was told “with Great power, comes Great responsibility”
This Govt failed to demonstrate that

There are no BAME

Chief Constables
CEOs top 50 NHS trusts
Perm Secs
Supreme Court Justices
CEOs top 15 Sporting bodies
CEOs top financial institutions
Handful Of Vice- Chancellors & managing partners of law & accountancy firms
& list goes on

And there is no Racism
#whitewash
Commission on Race & Ethnic disparities says racism exists but is mainly confined to the online world

It may have been overlooked that this online abuse is delivered by Real Racists in Real racist institutions & Real racist neighbourhoods

Oh, racial attacks are pretty real too
Quickly conversation on racism pivots to terrible way “white working class” are treated
Fix Classism” too

But don’t you dare say our experience of structural & institutional racism is a myth

I’m tired of being told I’m a role model
That’s because you won’t give others a chance

1. The Derek Chauvin trial starts today
2. It is NOT the George Floyd trial - he is not there
3. What Floyd was convicted of before his death is entirely irrelevant
4. Chauvin & the other cops did NOT do a background check before they stood on his neck
5. Floyd was the victim
By public demand I will be generally updating you on the trial
1. Where are the other accused cops? Their trials are after this one
2. The jury has been selected - a tough exercise as they have to be open minded despite all the publicity
3. Prosecutors have hedged their bets
Chauvin faces 3 charges:
Second & Third degree murder & manslaughter
The most serious requires prosecution to prove he unintentionally killed Floyd while committing a felony
Manslaughter merely requires that he took an unreasonable risk of causing death

Some explaining to do Home Office
£107K at eyebrow company
£864 at hairdressers during lockdown
£5K at Primark would buy most of floor’s stock
£8K at Pollyanna restaurant is some party
£37Bn on Track & Trace
It’s not good enough to say they followed process
This is public money
Home Office belatedly say “it was hand sanitisers & clothes for asylum seekers”
Which begs another question

Why is a Dept with multi billion pound procurement budget so ill- prepared that it sends Priti Patel’s staff down to the shops with a credit card & some discount vouchers?
Let me credit @BylineTimes for this investigation
The rest of national media have been largely complicit in their silence
Odd story here & there does not do justice to the extraordinary incompetence, cronyism, favouritism & alleged corruption that has been going on

We’ve long known that politics in the U.K. & US wouldn’t be believable as fiction, even in The Thick Of It or Veep

Trumps team booked the wrong Four Seasons, not the Hotel.
Here is Rudy Giuliani announcing Trump’s legal action in the Four Seasons Landscaping company car park
The Four Seasons Hotel distanced themselves from Four Seasons Landscaping
The Adult Bookstore selling dildos next door to Four Seasons Landscaping & the Crematorium across the road couldn’t be reached for comment
So it seems the timeline is:
1 Trump tweets that the press conference is at Four Seasons Hotel at 11 w/o checking with hotel
2 Staff find Hotel won’t take it
3 Staff find another Four Seasons - the gardening company next to a dildo shop & crematorium - 30 mins further away

Dominic Cummings a thread:
The big divide was never between black & white, nor men & women, nor north & south
It's between those with power & those without
The power differential is the greatest cause of inequality

Like 60,000 others my late brother was 1 of the powerless
My experience tells me that there have to be consequences for law breaking otherwise the public lose confidence in those meant to enforce the law, and lose trust in the law itself
The powerful must be dealt with without fear or favour
So when I witnessed the Prime Minister and others wrapping a shield around Dominic Cummings I was horrified. I watched him get the privilege of a press conference in the garden at 10 Downing Street when any other civil servant would be denied on pain of discipline or worse.
