Simon Says
Subterfuge and Spying at WMFS HQ. Is it LeCarre or 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spanners?'
As many of you know, over the last 13 months, I have provided ample opportunity for the West Midlands Fire Service to ‘clean their own house’, carry out internal reviews, audits, perhaps even do some soul searching and get to the bottom of a situation that, amongst many other things, caused immeasurable damage to myself via false accusations and the contrived reputational damage, left female staff exposed to sexual misconduct, contributed towards a suicide, exposed firefighters and public to increased risk, and revealed that words such as ‘values’, ‘ethics’, conduct’ are applicable to only those peasants wearing three impellers or less on their epaulettes, and corporate staff of corresponding levels.
It shall not be a surprise to you to learn that I am no further forward at all and have been met with deafening silence, failures to engage, but interestingly, downright lies. Primarily,both current Chair Cathy Bayton and CFO Simon Tuhill have both vehemently denied any organisational pursuit of myself and been very clear that Wayne Brown’s false accusations were made by him as a private citizen, in that capacity, and by implication in his own time and at his own expense and effort.
Well… that would be bullshit and let me demonstrate how.
Disclosure or ‘dis close’?
During any Prosecution, there are stages at which the Crown have to provide the Defence with materials that they wish to rely on in support of their case. This should also include materials which undermine the prosecution and can be of benefit to the Defence. FYI, the latter of these are normally tucked away in a specific disclosure package called ‘unused materials’. A neutral observer may imply that the Crown camouflage things that undermine their case. I, of course, could not possibly comment on that.
Despite having several issues with disclosure, or lack of, in my case, eventually the Crown did supply some ‘unused materials’ including ‘evidence provided by Wayne Brown’. Now, the nature of harassment is that the recipient cannot escape or get any respite from it. Wayne was not only ‘looking for it’- he had tasked members of WMFS, including the Senior Leadership Team to locate, download and retain any data that he could then provide to WMP and tenuously claim harassed him.
Now, as we know, if you look hard enough and long enough for something, you’ll find something which you think corresponds. To demonstrate this, a person wishing to be offended by an off-colour joke, who has sat on YouTube for hours watching clips of Chubby Brown, Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning may find some material to complain about, but have those performers specifically offended that individual? QED.
Barry’s not white.
Imagine my surprise when in the ‘unused materials’, I found all of my Linkedin posts from a period from Brown’s false allegation, up to and beond his death. These were purported to be directly harassing Brown (via spirit medium), and supplied directly by him. I’ll provide one such example below.
If you look at the image below, at the bottom left you’ll see a digital image, a thumbprint, that is the person who’s account screenshotted these materials- you’ll see just to the left of the invitation to “leave your thoughts here.” That would be Deputy
Yes, for those with any doubt; take a look below at the larger image.
It is clear that the chain of custody was that Barry acquired and passed to Brown, who then supplied to WMP passing off as “evidence of the harassment he could not escape”.
So, Mr Barry, whether bullied into it by Brown or not, assisted Wayne in making false accusations designed to pervert the course of justice. I’m sure Wor Cathy and Simon Tuhill might think merely a case of two bad apples? Sadly not.
RIPA it up and start again!
The moles in the circus have been there for years! Below is an acquired set of emails, via a GDPR SAR, mentioning me and demonstrating that persons within WMFS were carrying out organisational surveillance to acquire data that Wayne could then attempt to use to bolster his false accusations. In short, the whole SLT were ‘in on it’ and complicit in assisting Brown. Unfortunately for them, that is conspiring to pervert the course of justice and the least of their problems.
Some of you may know, that for public organisations carry out this type of activity requires a RIPA authorisation, from a ‘Gatekeeper’ (which WMFS do not have) or a Court. Former WMFS Data Officer Asif Malik confirmed no such authority was applied for. This was clandestine, a “Black Op” if you excuse the obvious pun.
Having provided a little taste here, what happens next? Well unlike the Prosecution, where WMFS repeatedly refused to provide unredacted versions of the above, so that witnesses could be identified and called as witnesses (in itself obstructing justice), a civil disclosure order will reveal the identities of the players involved.
It is simple, Simon.
Regardless of the above, Cath Bayton and Simon Tuhill may be having the realisation that whatever they’ve been told, it was almost certainly bullshit. Embarrassingly for them, I am in possession of their correspondence which steadfastly denies, what the above glimpse of information shows. That makes them either a party to the cover up, or unwitting patsies, misled by the very people that they ought to be able to trust and rely upon.
Simon Barry and others have serious questions to answer, the only variable is whether those are asked very quickly now within the confines of Vauxhall Road (HQ) or in the presence of a High Court Judge and under oath.
Bad and Ruin.
Anyway, as I’ve had three years of WMFS giving me the shaft, let me finish this article by giving them a healthy serving of prime Rod.
When he was still with the Faces and still one of the greatest blues singers we have produced.
Until next time…
