Charlene Downes 'Scapegoat' detective suing Lancashire police for £500,000 over mishandled
*** investigation
A detective who says she was made a scapegoat for a mishandled investigation into the ***
of a teenage girl is suing police for up to £500,000 in the High Court.
Jan Beasant was forced to quit her job after Lancashire police failed to bring anyone to
justice over the disappearance of 14-year-old Charlene Downes, who was groomed by a child
sex gang linked to takeaway food shops in Blackpool.
The teenager's body has never been found.
Two men were charged with ***, but former Detective Sergeant Beasant was blamed for
the collapse of the case because of the poor quality of surveillance tapes that formed
a crucial part of the evidence.
Ms Beasant, 48, won an appeal against a disciplinary hearing ruling that her conduct in the investigation
fell below the standard expected.
Her lawyers say Lancashire police 'knowingly or with reckless indifference' accused her
of a lack of integrity. Police believed Charlene was a member of a
group of young girls who had sex with older men in return for gifts before she vanished
in 2003. When a supergrass named two men allegedly
involved in Charlene's ***, they were secretly bugged.
DS Beasant listened to the tapes and spent two years writing up their conversations.
But the Crown Prosecution Service said there were 'grave doubts' over the quality of the
recordings and accuracy of transcripts.
Lancashire Constabulary was not available to comment.
W@8. I bet they weren't!
Calls for Inquiry as Figures Show 27% of London's Prisoners Are Muslim
More than a quarter of London's prison population are Muslims, prompting urgent calls for an
inquiry into what is happening in the justice system.
Official figures have revealed that record levels of Muslim people are serving jail sentences
and that the numbers are still growing.
Across England and Wales the proportion has risen from eight per cent a decade ago to
14 per cent now.
In London, the figure is an "astonishing" 27 per cent, which is more than double the
12 per cent of the capital's population who are Muslim.
In two prisons, Feltham and Isis, a third of the inmates were Muslim.
The data was obtained by Sadiq Khan, the lawyer and shadow justice secretary who is himself
a Muslim. He told the Evening Standard that an inquiry
was vital to explain why the increase is happening.
"What's really worrying is the rise, year after year, in the number of Muslims behind
bars," he said, adding: "We need to know why that's the case if we're to stop this rising
further, reduce crime and prevent people needlessly becoming victims."
Half of the top 10 prisons with the highest Muslim populations are in London, including
Belmarsh, where the percentage has risen since 2010 from 19 to 29 per cent, Brixton (24 per
cent), Pentonville (28 per cent), Thameside (25 per cent) and Wormwood Scrubs (27 per
cent)....
Fury as Fanatic Who Trained 7/7 Bomber Sets Up Islamic Primary School in Britain
Sajeel Shahid , 38, called for violence against British troops and ran a training camp in
Pakistan where known terrorists learned how to make bombs, and is a terror suspect who
trained the ringleader of the 7/7 terrorist bombings in London has been allowed to set
up an Islamic primary school, teaching children as young as three, The Mail on Sunday reveals.
One of his 'graduates' was Mohammed Siddique Khan, who led the gang of four suicide bombers
on the deadliest terrorist attack ever committed in Britain, killing 52 people on the London
Underground and a bus on July 7, 2005.
Terrorism Prevention List 'Withers on Vine' Amid Political and Media Fallout
Watchdog says ending of power to relocate suspects away from home areas, plus embarrassing
high profile abscondments, has seen the system overlooked
There are no longer any terror suspects subjected to special prevention and investigation measures
after the system which replaced control orders has been allowed to wither on the vine.
Theresa May, the home secretary, has confirmed to MPs that there is currently nobody subject
to a terrorism prevention and investigation measures notice (Tpim) with the last one allowed
to lapse on February 10 this year

Gay Activists Hurl Faeces at German Parents Protesting Pro-Gay School Curriculum: Report
As parents in Germany have protested a new pro-homosexual "*** diversity" curriculum
in their schools, homosexual activists have attacked them by hurling faeces and destroying
their property, according to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against
Christians, which documents anti-Christian incidents in Europe...
"Protesters were physically attacked and it was felt that the police failed to protect
the parents' basic right of assembly," said a statement from the Observatory describing
incidents at recent rallies in Baden-Württemberg and Cologne.
According to eyewitnesses, says the Observatory, "Christian parents were shouted at with obscenities."
"They were spit at, eggs were thrown, and little bags with faeces or paint.
Cables of loud speakers were torn out," the organization says.
"Pages were ripped out of the bible and used to wipe backsides, then formed into a ball
and thrown at the parents."
"Christians were deeply hurt in this process. At least one banner was snatched and destroyed
in front of the eyes of the parents. Marshals were target[ed] with pepper sprays.
Shouting by counter-demonstrator[s] made the planned public speaking partly impossible."
W@8 Now I am not homophobic but this behaviour along side that of Britiain's Alan ***
is what I find truly disgusting and despicable about many homosexuals.
*** recently accordingly to the Daily Mail and New York Observer recently whipped
out his Mobile phone on a crowded lift to show everyone a photo of himself being 'tea-bagged'
by a rugby star. Now if you are like me, you will just have
to search out tea-bagging for yourself. I had thoughts along the lines of Typhoo tea
but then was unpleasantly surprised.
France: National Front doubles council members and gains 11 mayoral seats
The gains by the National Front were somewhat less dramatic than predicted last week by
the party itself after the first round of voting for mayors and City Council members,
but exit polls suggested that the party would end up with about 10 mayoral seats in cities
of more than 10,000. According to the preliminary official results
from the Interior Ministry, at least two of those victories were in sizable municipalities:
Béziers, in the south, and Fréjus, not far from Marseille, with populations of 70,000
and 52,000. The ministry also said that nationwide the
National Front had elected 934 local council members.
It had fewer than 500 previously, so this was a substantial increase and allows it to
have a presence in a number of localities even where it does not have mayors.
Marine Le Pen, the party's leader, gave a resolute speech in which she reasserted that
"the National Front has been born as an autonomous political force."
She added, "This is only the beginning," alluding to the European Parliamentary elections that
will be held at the end of May, in which her party is expected to do well.
Senate elections will be held in September.
Béziers was won by Robert Ménard, who was endorsed by the National Front although he
did not run as a party member. He is a former head of Reporters Without Borders
who styles himself as a political maverick.
While the National Front lost the largest prize it was seeking, the city of Perpignan
in southern France, with a population of 117,000, it won Fréjus with a young candidate, David
Rachline. According to the Le Monde website, reaction
to his victory led to clashes requiring the police to maintain order.
Ireland: Judge Apologises for "Muslims think they can actually beat their wives"
Anthony Halpin asks for 'forgiveness' over 'hurt caused' by 'unfortunate' reference made
in court
A district court judge has apologised for an "unfortunate and incorrect remark" which
he made about Muslims in court.
Judge Anthony Halpin made the remark that "Muslims think they can actually beat their
wives," in Tallaght District Court on Thursday.
Civil liberties and migrant groups had yesterday urged him to withdraw the comments ...
The Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland said yesterday that in this case it was restricted
in what it could say due to the limited nature of the comments as reported in the media.
Spokesman Dr Ali Selim explained he was "not fully aware of the full context of what was
said" but added: "I firmly believe that a woman's position is a source of pride for
every Muslim woman according to Islam."...
W@8 you can pull the other one. Let every victim of an honour beating or killing,
female genital mutilation, or *** abuse be prideful of their treatment at the hands
of islam. This includes the *** victims in Saudi and
Qatar who are sent to jail or sentenced to death for adultery.

Putin Laughs IN Journalist's Face Over Europe's American Made Missile Defence System
When an interviewer recently confronted Vladimir Putin about Europe's American-made missile
defence system, the President of the Russian Federation couldn't help but laugh right in
his face.
According to the journalist, NATO's missile defence system is pointed at and designed
to protect Europe from the nuclear threat posed by Iran, not Russia.
Putin's reaction is a must-see.
Interview: NATO claims the missile shield was not built against you but against Iran.
[Putin begins laughing almost uncontrollably]
Putin: You really make me laugh.
God bless you because it's almost time to finish the day... indeed it's already time
to go to sleep.
At least I get home in good humour.
What's even more humorous is the seriousness of the interviewer's subsequent reaction to
being laughed at.

Thought for the Day- Feline Wuff? Or TB or not TB?
And by feline I mean our feline friends and in the famous Shakespeare play I mean TB as
in Tuberculosis. I am not surprised at the headlines that have
lambasted the nationals and even the news for the last few days on Cats spreading BTB
which is Bovine TB to their owners, so far only 2 have emerged mother and daughter and
the girl looks to be mixed race although that has nothing to do with this infection one
would hope. She got it from a kitten and now of course
cats have replaced badgers in the firing line for the mass murderers of animals.
Ms Livings rather misnomer under the circumstances -- acquired only one of the many strains of
TB that inhabit our country nowadays and the UK still has the highest rates of non Bovine
TB alias human to human TB in Western Europe although the DM cheerfully adds that the 'vast
majority of sufferers include people not inoculated against the disease including migrants from
Africa and Eastern Europe'.
Now am I strange in thinking that this disease human TB was virtually eradicated before our
mass genocide alias Immigration began? So everyone with a pet cat is on the look
out for what? Snuffles, weight loss and no doubt breathing
heavily into his owners face because I cannot think how else unless you roll in your cats
faeces or drink his milk that you can get this form of TB!
It will assume the same place as retarded people who lock their untrained and unhappy
dogs in the same rooms as babies and wait for the result to be lathered all over the
news with a weeping and a wailing and a renting of garments plus of course the usual chattering
classes impressive array of flowers, teddy bears and dolls.
I am reading from an article on this nasty disease when it attacks cattle and if you
think that there are not a lot of cattle left in fields for any length of time anymore than
thousands of chickens are raised in homemade sheds any more when we all know that all animals
and fowl raised for meat or eggs or both rarely see the light of day let alone a badger at
night -- which is when they go out, like foxes.
Cats do not fight with badgers, I have known both and they do not fight.
Cats avoid badgers like the plague, they are bigger and far more used to protecting their
own territory than your average domestic felix. Dogs fight badgers and sometimes dogs chase
and fight cats -- so this tenuous link to our feline friends might have come from a
dog who had fought a badger or indeed a fox -- who cats also get on with rather well I
have found.
As for small rodents -- well they are in short supply nowadays anyway unless out in the country
and lets face it you can get the Black Death from some rats let alone BTB!
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE AND BADGERS:
FOR DECADES discussion and controversy has raged about bovine tuberculosis (bTB).
For the Badger Trust it has sidelined other major issues—notably persecution—because
of the insistence, led by farming unions that BTB will be solved only if badgers are slaughtered
(culled is the word they prefer to use). Unperturbed by conclusive scientific evidence,
the result of the near 10-year £50 million taxpayer-funded research programme by the
Independent Scientific Group (the ISG) that killing large numbers of badgers would have
no meaningful impact on the spread and control of this disease, they have continued to call
for widespread "targeted" action. Badger Trust totally rejects this argument.
But to put the issue into some context here we answer some of the points most frequently
raised about bTB. Before milk was pasteurised bovine TB in humans
was common and often fatal. Today it's rare.
The human form of TB is more usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tuberculosis).
Cattle are the main hosts—hence the name, bovine TB—but the disease affects many other
mammals, from bison in Canada, to brush-tailed possum in New Zealand, buffalo in southern
Africa and white-tailed deer in the United States.
How do cattle catch TB?
Principally from other cattle by breathing in bacilli expelled by infected animals as
tiny aerosol droplets. It may also be caught through contamination
of feeding and watering sites and from infected wildlife, including badgers and deer and possibly
from other farmed animals such as deer and camelids (llamas, alpacas etc).
The risk of disease spread is greatest in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas—notably
over-wintering barns and sheds where cattle spend months confined together—but any contact
between cattle, at shows and markets, for example, in livestock lorries or at single-fence
farm boundaries where they can come into contact with other cattle are other obvious transmission
points.
On its website Defra says: "Cattle-to-cattle transmission is a serious cause of disease
spread". The Independent Scientific Group (ISG) in
its final report describes cattle-to-cattle transmission as very important in high incidence
areas and "the main cause of disease spread to new areas".
That said it's worth adding that despite years of research, transmission routes (for example
cattle to badger and badger to cattle) are still not properly understood.
So not all badgers are infected?
A: Far from it. Most badgers are healthy.
The Randomised Badger Culling Trials (RBCT) which form the basis of the ISG's final report
and recommendations showed that even in bTB hotspots less than one in seven badgers were
infected and when road-killed badgers from seven hotspot counties were examined the figures
were almost the same (15 per cent infected). This might be explained by acquired immunity
in a proportion of badgers or simply that badgers do not easily infect each other.
Let's look at the facts. Here in the UK a bTB epidemic that began in
the 1930s spiralled out of control and by 1960 was still infecting 16,000 of the UK's
cattle. It was brought under control and all but eradicated
by the cattle-based controls. No badgers had been killed or implicated.
Then in the last decades of the 20th century bTB began to increase again.
The reasons were not clear. Farming organisations blamed badgers.
But in fact the increase followed a marked relaxation of cattle testing, slaughter and
movement controls introduced and of course Immigration.
In the two years 2009and 2010, there has been a 15% reduction in bTB due to improved testing
of cattle, movement controls and improved cattle husbandry.
This improvement has been achieved without any badgers being killed.
The farming Press reports that large numbers of diseased badgers are dying in agony and
that "culling" would end that misery and lead to healthy badgers living alongside healthy
cattle.
Pure fiction. It is just a bit of clumsy public relations
to try to justify a "cull". There's absolutely no evidence to support
the claim that bTB is killing large numbers of badgers.
As we've already said, TB in badgers is rarely fatal.
Badger Trust now strongly believes that an injectable vaccine, and ultimately an oral
vaccine, provides a very positive way forward in the long-term control of this disease.
The "silver bullet" remains a cattle vaccine which will not only protect cattle from the
disease but will also allow the UK farming industry to export cattle to EU countries.
A test is being developed which will differentiate between a vaccinated cow and an infected cow.
This will require acceptance within the EU.
So the badger culls were a useless and cruel system especially when in truth we allow millions
of people into this country untested for TB or any of its various other branches of lung
diseases. However Tens of thousands of diseased cattle,
slaughtered after testing positive for bovine tuberculosis (bTB), are being sold for human
consumption by Defra, the food and farming ministry has said.
The raw meat, from around 28,000 diseased animals a year, is banned by most supermarkets
and burger chains, according to The Sunday Times.
Tesco, for example, rejects it because of "public-health concerns surrounding the issue
of bTB and its risk to consumers". But it is being sold to some caterers and
food processors, and finding its way into schools, hospitals and the military, or being
processed into products such as pies and pasties. Now it can be revealed that milk from the
thousands of cattle infected with TB may have also entered the food chain.
In the past infection to humans via milk was common, and although this milk would have
been pasteurised so called "raw" milk is becoming more popular.
It is well known that farmers, workers in abattoirs and vets are the most likely to
get bTB from cattle. Also if people drink unpasteurised milk, which
was the main route of infection in the past.
TB caused by M.bovis is diagnosed in a very small number of people in the UK every year.
The majority of cases are in people over 65 years old (and who drank infected unpasteurised
milk in the past) or in those of any age who picked up the infection abroad.
The number of human TB cases due to M.bovis infection is closely monitored by Public Health
England, Public Health Wales and Health Protection Scotland.
Overall, human TB caused by M.bovis accounts for less than 1% of the total TB cases diagnosed
in the UK every year.
Transmission of M.bovis can occur between animals, from animals to humans and, more
rarely, from humans to animals and between humans.
Transmission to people can occur through consumption of unpasteurised milk and unpasteurised milk
products from infected animals1. It is also possible to contract M.bovis infection
by inhaling the bacteria shed by infectious animals in respiratory and other secretions,
or through contamination of unprotected cuts or abrasions in the skin while handling infected
animals or their carcasses, although this is rare.
Last year there were just over 9,000 cases of TB - a five per cent increase on the year
before, according to figures from the Health Protection Agency.
The main risk area is still London with 3,588 cases reported in 2011, accounting for 40
per cent of the UK total. And nearly three quarters of those suffering
the disease were those not born in the UK.
Mike Mandlebaum, chief executive of the charity TB Alert, said: 'The truth is that TB never
really went away in the UK and has been steadily rising here, from around 5,000 cases a year
at the end of the Eighties to 8,500 in 2007/8.
'TB is a disease usually associated with certain high-risk groups such as those with ***, those
from Eastern bloc countries and Asia, and those living in crowded living conditions.
But anyone can get it. 'Onn Min Kon, a consultant at St Mary's Hospital
in Paddington, London, said that rates of the disease are continuing to rise and that
the UK has the highest rates in Europe. His research has found that a fifth of immigrants
to Britain from high-risk areas had latent TB -- but the current guidelines for screening
men around 75 per cent of these cases will be missed, so the real figure may be substantially
higher.
But despite all facts and figures there will be a large proportion of propaganda against
cats as there has been for some time against various breeds of dogs and much of this anti
publicity does have some roots in very few cases.
But the main thing is the attitude of our establishment towards domestic animals and
it isnt good. Whatever the whys or wherefores of this cat
to human case of BTB it isnt the fault of the cat.
If indeed it ever was.
The great British public have kept cats for hundreds of years without harmful effects.
Indeed we have even had leprosy in our medieval past which was eradicated and is now back
with a vengeance but you never hear of those cases do you?
Spread Human to human as are most diseases and viruses.
Although a very small portion of bovine TB is spread by cattle to cattle and maybe in
rare cases onto other mammals still the greatest contagion of all times is the human condition.
No other country in the world allows hordes of unmonitored and unchecked human beings
into a country from or through other countries which still have many of these nasty diseases
rampant amongst their populations. We have to acquire passports for dogs and
cat and immunisation certificates galore and yet foreigners can walk in with and many do,
terrible diseases which spread amongst their communities unspoken and un-noticed.
The local GPs are often of their own ethnicity so the whole matter gets shoved on the back
burner.
Of course there is the question of what sort of meat is used for domestic pets?
It would seem that there could be TB infected meat from cattle going into pet foods -- who
is there to check? A cat could get it from infected meat or without
stretching a point -- infected milk?
And yet another scenario is obvious many of the Immigrants come from Africa and Asia and
Eastern Europe and many of these migrants have homes back in the old country to which
they travel regularly and encourage relations to come over from.
It is not beyond the boundaries of human behaviour for these self same people when on holiday
at home to revert to the eating and drinking habits they left behind, un-pasturised milk
and diseased meat -- they can easily bring it into the UK again and re-infect more people
. Relations from the same family can be brought
into for marriages carrying yet more diseases and so it goes on whilst our media are pouncing
on the badgers and cats etc whilst the answer may be more solveable and obvious.
It is almost too late to start examinations and inoculations for TB or bTB because our
food chains have been compromised as has our population and you can blame sloppy governmental
practices for that. We have not cut down on the amounts of immigrants
and still they pour in. Diseases come with them.
They import food from the homelands into this country without any checks at all.
Lorries come in every day full of migrants and germs.
We operate in this country an open door Marxist policy to all and sundry -- and yet still
DEFRA have the bare faced nerve to penalise certain farmers for taking money where they
can, selling their meat where they can when there are no such penalties for ordinary migrants
doing the same thing. How much bush meat has gone into the local
takeaway food? We already know that the Muslims fancy making
a human Kebab so God knows what we are eating now I shudder to think!
But as the papers say we can always pull the blinkers over your eyes and blame cats, dogs,
badgers, pidgeons, little green men instead of the brain shortages we seem to have when
it comes to importing foul people and their habits into our society or rather what is
left of it. I back the cats myself!
And finally- Tuferwunday Monday!
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded
to the checkout counter.
The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, 'Son, how old are you?'
'Eight', the boy replied.
The man continued, 'Do you know what these are used for?'
The boy replied, 'Not exactly, but they aren't for me.
They're for him. He's my brother.
He's four."
"Oh, really?" the pharmacist replied with a grin.
"Yes." the boy said. "We saw on TV that if you use these, you would
be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do none of those."
And one for our more mature listeners..................
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
And notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back
On the table and take out the garbage first...
But then I think,
Since I'm going to be near the mailbox
When I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table,
And see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
So I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks,
But first I need to push the Pepsi aside
So that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Pepsi is getting warm,
And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
A vase of flowers on the counter
Catches my eye--they need water.
I put the Pepsi on the counter and
Discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
But first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter ,
Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
But first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers,
But quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table,
Get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to
Remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
The car isn't washed,
The bills aren't paid,
There is a warm can of
Pepsi sitting on the counter,
The flowers don't have enough water,
There is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,
And I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
And I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail....
Do me a favour.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
Because I don't remember who I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
You have been listening to the W@8. I am Lynne Mozar and I wish you all a very
good night.
