Bill Bratton Interview: Former New York Police Chief Says He'd Lead Scotland Yard -The Daily Beast Ms May won't let him
I wrote this on Sunday, 7th August 2011. On Sunday night there was a second night of rioting and looting across London.

I think that this article is so important it deserves a more full consideration of the issues that are surfacing with regard to policing throughout the UK as well as in London since they reflect the failure of the Constitutional Monarchy form of Parliamentary government that currently exists with its unwritten constitution.
This problem is at the core of the foundation of a civilised and democratic UK that is being rent asunder by incompetence and corruption while terrorism, organised and serious crime threaten.
The criminals including those from within, quite literally, are taking over because no one is doing anything to stop general criminality.
This article is an outstanding summary of the problems and why they exist in the UK. Police corruption and incompetence has developed over decades as a result of the brain drain, and incompetent, corrupt officers feathering their nests driving out those who would do better. It's coming apart now as it inevitably will while the Home Secretary Teresa May knows how bad it is and needs to contain it by perpetuating the old system, old boy network: to get along police must go along and stay on message. Instead of a democratic response to incompetence and corruption there is a bureaucratic one which permeates the British government. Teresa May is not responsible to a nation wide democratically elected head of state. She is responsible to her constituency only. That is why Britain is failing so dramatically at present. This Parliamentary system no longer works.
The police corruption and incompetence problem in London today is far worse than that of the 1960s NYPD when all were on the "pad" as exposed by Frank Serpico and the Knapp Commission and was cleaned up by John Lindsay appointing a new commissioner because he was accountable politically to all the people of New York. It took a huge effort to get the corruption exposed then. Can Boris Johnson act like John Lindsay did 40 years ago? No.
The elements today that impact the corruption and incompetence in London are far more serious and embedded than anyone imagines or Mr Bratton describes as the basic policing issues or the complexity of terrorism and protection for the Monarch and others. The terrible corruption and incompetence that still exists unknown which I have experienced directly for 13 years 24/7/365 are and have been covered up by all in government despite its widespread knowledge and use involving hundreds of people from multiple departments of government.
I am talking about the ongoing and continuous Toxic Surveillance used against me in North Kensington to falsely imprison, torture interrogate continuously, carry out medical experimentation, further surveillance technology R&D and ultimately execute to cover up any "resistance" from speaking the truth and providing evidence about all that has happened. This has been covered up by all Home Secretaries (Straw, Blunkett, anon), Foreign Secretaries (Straw again), Chancellors, Prime Ministers (Blair, Brown and now Cameron) and other ministers of state such as those for the NHS and more recently Justice (Straw once more and Clarke). My current MP as of May 2010 is the Chair of the Joint Intelligence and Security Committee, yet this extreme abuse goes on involving the US and UK governments. The government in the UK is non-functional in modern day Britain.
Toxic Surveillance is growing by the use of the general public in the UK who are being trained to use this technology and engage in its violence for control. These are criminals being developed by the government as a standard for behaviour. How can the police hope to cope with this situation and develop competence in law enforcement and avoid corruption when they are being trained at the ground level to be criminal supporters and criminals themselves as standard of practise?
This is what Teresa May wants to protect from exposure, and she will get the cooperation of both David Cameron and Boris Johnson although they might present a different public image for political purposes. Teresa May won't suffer since she is doing what they tacitly want by hiding this abuse further in the system that has prevailed for at least the past 13 years in my direct experience where I have notified commissioner after commissioner along with government ministers of state about this problem with no results. This is a tyranny not a democracy as Mr Bratton describes for policing by the Met in London.
A man or woman like Mr Bratton must come into the Met from the outside to take charge, but it will never happen. Look at what the British have done to the American woman who got the 2012 Olympic bid underway. She was wipe out brutally. Look at what the British did to the guy they brought in to restore the operational capacity of the London Underground. They bounced him when he had gotten it done. The British do not want anyone from the outside to actually do a proper job completely and entirely to receive recognition for it. They exploit instead, use people up and throw them out while claiming credit for the ongoing success. Britain is still psychologically in the 19th century colonial exploitation mode only they are also doing it to themselves as well as can be seen in the police.
1) Eight police officers including three senior officers are on trial in Swansea (Wales) for framing three men for killing a 20-year-old prostitute in 1988. They were convicted but freed after two years when their conviction was squashed on appeal. Finally, a decade later DNA resulted in the apprehension and conviction of the real killer. Now the extraordinary corruption by these eight police officers is coming out at their trial which is expect to run six months it is so complex.

2) The Cleveland Chief Constable (Police Chief) and his deputy were just arrested and suspended on corruption charges because they were too close to the local police oversight organisation among other things.

3) The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), a private organisation, ran its own secret police force unaccountable in any way to the government and, therefore, the people of the UK where the Home Office denied any knowledge of it just like the Home Office denies any knowledge of what is being done to me. This was just exposed after many years last 10th January 2011 going back perhaps to 1998 when a police officer seconded from the Met to the ACPO secret police went over to the other side agreeing to testify on behalf of those whom he had infiltrated for years.

4) Last night Tottenham in North London blew up in riots, burning and looting because a 29-year-old with four children was shot and killed by the police on Thursday. The police should have seen this coming and headed it off, but they did not. All they can say is that no one could have seen this coming. Nonsense.

This police corruption is nationwide and infiltrates the top brass all over the UK as well as extending to the ground level as I've directly experienced for 13 years since mid-August 1998. This is why I get death threats continuously as I attempt to expose and/or comment upon the truth about what is happening as I am doing now. The UK desperately needs someone like Mr Bratton but will never let anyone from the outside into the top position at the Met.
I'll bet there are a huge number of officers just like Frank Serpico was who wanted to do a genuine job of policing and public service but cannot given the machine that operates in favour of incompetence and corruption. Even if Mr Bratton gets into the job most likely they will eat him alive and spit him out as the British do over and over again. I don't know why anyone would want the job of Met Commissioner. The UK is disintegrating from within because the police do not enforce the law and are part of the criminal enterprise activities against which they are supposed to protect the public. Can anyone clean this up?
In the "Gangs of New York" New York State had to send in a separate police force to replace the one then in New York City during the 19th century because they were so corrupt. The New York City police even then refused to leave and fought against those sent in by New York State. Read the book, and you'll also see a bit of this in Martin Scorcese's film. There is no New York State equivalent to send in a separate police force into London to take over the Met. How will reform ever work given the current form of UK government and a Home Secretary like all Home Secretaries who will protect themselves at the expense of the people who eventually turn to riot and mayhem as occurred in Tottenham last night?
