Yes @Escape - correct. It means if she does - then she will be in contempt of court immediately. That carries a custodial sentence rather than a driving ban only. It’s all a bloody farce frankly. 4 months after wrapping a car round a tree while “allegedly” pissed - and still driving is madness

Welcome to every Police Officers nightmare.

[Barrykearley]

Frankly there have been probably 30-40 police incidents since Jan. It’s a joke of a system for all concerned. Before care in the community it was so much simpler.

[Kimbers]

You know why morale is so low, apart from pay and conditions.

Police arrest them and the courts let them go and CPS refuse to prosecute again and again and again. 

 

[C8RKH]

Starmer didn't like to prosecute, wasn't he head of the CPS?

[Barrykearley]

Somebody has been watching PMQs @C8RKH 🤣

Sometimes I do wonder if it’s cos I’m a bloke that nothings ever being done - but in reality the system is simply broken. The government have brought in swathes of legislation to protect domestic abuse victims. But - just getting anything through the cps the police find impossible.

It is not the laws or the police that need to change - it’s the CPS. Yet again another bunch of unelected Whitehall civil servant clowns whom simply carry on with the ineptitude and incompetence. Time and time again the old lessons learned pishe will get touted about.

They have suffered cuts just like the Police. You can't blame them for only prosecuting anything with a 70% chance to win or better. They just don't have the resources to do anything else.

It made me laugh when the Met said they will attend and prosecute every burglary.

Good luck with that one Met!

Empty promises @Kimbers. Chief constables are just Politicians in uniform.

[PAR]

Current CPS head has been appointed by Geoffrey Cox when he was attorney general for Theresa May in 2018 replacing Alison Saunders who had been appointed by Dominic Grieve in 2013.

Number of prosecutions and convictions for domestic abuse has increased under Keir Starmer Smith and then increased further with Alison Saunders reaching over 100,000 prosecutions a year but then dropped meaningfully under Hill close to 50,000 a year. Seems like domestic abuse is not a priority of the current government anymore.

[C8RKH]

@PAR my response re Starmer was specifically about a high profile BBC personality child abuser, I believe under his watch as head of the CPS they chose not to pursue. I would be very happy to be proven wrong in this case.

[Barrykearley]

Frankly I couldn’t care less about the funding or any such pishe of departments.

The government of the day and the lords pass this legislation - but without enforcement it’s simply virtue signalling and utter bollocks.

If BJ had not made his allegations under the parliamentary privilege, he would have been sued for libel and most likely lost.  Many conservatives including current PM said BJ comment was wrong and many called for him to apologise.

KSM was never aware of the case at the time and his only action was to ask for a report on why it didn’t get prosecuted. The  CPS lawyer only advised the police that they would need victim testimony or at least witness an evidence but the police was never able to even get one victime to agree to testify.
 

It wasn’t that the CPS choose not to prosecute it is that the police was never able to build the beginning of a case.

Considering the number of people who seemed to know including at the BBC it is pretty shocking that no witness ever came forward..

Well - you say that - but the bbc engaged on some sort of state sponsored cover up

For sure we have real cultural issues in the uk with media and abusers. Ms Flack is one very high profile example in the extreme.

Hmmm, I never mentioned the BJ comment because I knew how he phrased it was wrong. However, do you not find it strange that when an investigation was undertaken all records at the DPP/CPS had been destroyed?

Alison Levitt QC, Starmer’s principal legal advisor, ran the report looking into the affair. She complained that all CPS records of the case had been deleted from the system and were impossible to retrieve.  Levitt found that the CPS had failed in its decision not to charge Savile, noting that the reviewing CPS/DPP lawyer had failed to properly build a case with the police, failed to spot inconsistencies in their reports, and did not find out if witnesses could be encouraged to come forward. Several of the witnesses had chosen not to proceed with the case because they mistakenly believed they were the only ones coming forward. Levitt concluded that several of the allegations had a realistic prospect of conviction, based on what the police and CPS knew.

At the time, Starmer appeared to take responsibility of sorts. As well as criticising the police forces involved, he also apologised for the CPS’s ‘shortcomings’ and announced that child sex abuse cases would be handled better in future. In other words, he apologised for the CPS’s failure to prosecute Jimmy Savile, as Boris Johnson indicated.

Starmer atttacked Johnson during the partygate and sleaze scandals, focusing on the fact that leaders are ultimately responsible for the failings of their organisations. As he told the House last year, ‘Leadership is about taking responsibility, and if there is an apology to be made, that apology should come from the top’. It seems though that when it comes to his own leadership, that responsibility was suddenly in short supply…

I'm not saying he "covered it up", but I am saying it happened on his watch and therefore, by his own words, he was extremely culpable - if Johnson had remained calm, and chosen his words better, he would have struck a deep wound and come out of it looking OK. But he didn't, and so didn't. A political own goal if you like.

My opinion only, Starmer is a puppet with Rayners arm stuffed right up his arse pulling the strings. Heaven help us if they get in together. 

To keep on topic, it is no wonder divorce laws, and many other laws are in such a mess, and often the guilty carry on free due to the complexity that we have introduced and the height of the bar that has been set for the Police to jump over. It must be incredibly frustrating to be a serving officer in the force today operating effectively with your hands tied behind your back and your shoe laces tied together.

[Barrykearley]

And today I’ve submitted an application to vary the recitals the judge placed upon the order a couple of weeks ago. 
 

there has been a very blatant disregard of the child’s voice - social services are agast at the order as well. So it’s not just me that’s outraged - back it goes and get it changed.

 

[Barrykearley]

Yesterday the solicitors confirmed they have the link to apply for the decree nisi. Would I like them to do so? Ummm hell yeah.

The valuers been to the farm - her solicitors are still bollocking on about hope value while the valuer is saying he can only value what he sees. The building plots planning is still pending and looks like another drainage report may well be needed. I’m at the point where I just couldn’t give a shit anymore - if they want hope value - best they start paying the specialists and hope 😂. Cos frankly Im done with it. 

Thursdays going to be fun - it’s parents evening at school for Alice.  The ex has made appointments to see her teachers - pastoral care have advised me of this yesterday and will ensure she’s off site before we arrive.

still no sign of the drink drive charge……

[eeyoreish]

I hope my Esprit will be worth £100k. I'll ask the insurance to agree the value at that 👍

[Barrykearley]

Mines worth fuck all @eeyoreish.

anymore bullshit and I’ll be ripping the engine out for work

[Barrykearley]

Parents evening tonight for Alice.

mum was allowed to attend as that’s in her PR. She was an hour before us to ensure she was out the way. 

We were told of this happening yesterday. Alice has been off ever since, maybe it’s a coincidence. I frankly don’t think so. If we changed school - then mum would have to approach the courts to even find out what school she was attending and even then not be guaranteed to find out.

The system stinks - still  3 x A* in Chem/Bio/maths is her current working achievements. I’m so proud of her.

 

[Barrykearley]

Valuations for the farm has come through.

The farm is at £2667/m2 - the lowest of any comparable quotes in the rics by some 16% even though the house is in nice order. The barn I’m living in £4301/m2 - very high in comparison. The barn we had sold some time ago at £300k - that’s where it’s money is at - but they reckon more like £400k - it doesn’t make any sense and in a falling market I just ain’t willing to have to pay top dollar for it.……. So - let’s get the whole fecking lot sold up.

The sooner this is over the better.

[Barrykearley]

Phone call from the police last night a few minutes after the neighbour told me they were crawling all over the farm.

coppers everywhere with torches up there. Looking for her. Someone reported her and worried about her welfare. God only knows what was cracking off. 
 

someone stop the bloody bus - I wanna get off

[Barrykearley]

08/12/22 - 10am - I will be granted a decree Nisi.
 

Time is really running out now - along with space to lie for some. A set of very specific questions has been lodged today with regards to the “missing” cars

I may have missed the post about the cars. I assume she sold them?

 

[Barrykearley]

@Kimbers there’s two cars in question that are being concealed or their value is.

kona - £29499 worth of EV wrapped round a treez

nissan figaro - £6k worth probably transferred to my eldest daughter on 28/08 when the form E dated 18/08 failed to declare it. That’s blatant concealment of assets.

I’ve been open and clean in this proces of declaring wealth and assets.

[MJON]

Also Insurer is very unlikely to payout for the Kona as driver under influence. Still should challenge the asset’s existence value prior to its destruction.

[Barrykearley]

Oh yes @MJON there’s no reason why I’m picking up the tab for her wreckless lawbreaking. The asset has to be put into the finances end of.
