    paapiman reacted to Premi in SNP calls for Boris Johnson's resignation over party: 'If he doesn't resign, he must be removed!   
    From 2016
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35466283
    New National Crime Agency head Lynne Owens was appointed amid concerns about her performance as chief constable of Surrey Police, the BBC has learned.
    Kevin Hurley, Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner, said he had considered seeking her dismissal before she took over the national policing role.
    Concerns about public protection and child safeguarding in Surrey were down to a "failure of leadership", he said.
    'Lost confidence'
    Last November, Mrs Owens, 47, saw off strong competition to be named director-general of the National Crime Agency - one of the most prestigious and highly paid roles in policing.
    The NCA has responsibility for the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre - known as CEOP.
    But in the months leading up to her appointment, Mrs Owens's record on child protection had been brought into question by Mr Hurley.
    Highly critical inspection reports of the force had led Mr Hurley to declare that he had lost confidence in Mrs Owens and was considering starting the formal process - known as Section 38 - that could have led to her dismissal.
    Criticisms included the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) finding failings in the way the Surrey force had handled the case of 14-year-old Breck Bednar, who was groomed online before being murdered.
    Mr Hurley had previously been a supporter of his chief constable, extending her contract in 2012 and writing to Home Secretary Theresa May in 2014 to say she had had an "outstanding year".
    But during the 12 months leading up to November 2015, all that had changed.
    Emails and documents disclosed to BBC News under the Freedom of Information Act show that over this period, Mr Hurley's confidence in the chief constable's ability to deal with the problems ebbed away.
    Detailed rebuttal
    The minutes of a public protection scrutiny meeting on 3 September reveal the PCC's concerns about the force's handling of rape, domestic abuse and female genital mutilation cases - as well as child protection.
    In September, Mr Hurley wrote a stinging 10-page letter to Mrs Owens saying he held her "personally responsible".
    He accused her of blaming others for the "litany of failures", claiming it was "an example of moral cowardice".
    He wrote: "You have failed to act decisively or speedily to address many areas of concern in relation to public protection."
    Mrs Owens has told the BBC these comments were "ill-considered and inaccurate".
    Mr Hurley delivered the letter to Mrs Owens at a meeting, during which she declared that she was applying for the NCA post.
    At the same meeting, Mr Hurley revealed he had been considering starting the formal process that could lead to Mrs Owens being dismissed or having to resign from the force.
    Mr Hurley then wrote to Sir Tom Winsor, the Chief Inspector of Constabulary for England and Wales, stating concerns that Surrey Police was "failing vulnerable children, rape and domestic violence victims" and asking for assistance.
    Mrs Owens issued a detailed 19-page rebuttal of the PCC's accusations, saying her 26-year police record was "unblemished" and that she had taken "immediate and muscular" action in response to child protection concerns.
    But in October, Mr Hurley wrote again to Sir Tom, saying: "I have lost confidence in the chief constable's ability to lead the necessary cultural changes and cannot be sure that, under her command, the threat, risk and harm of public protection-related issues will be properly addressed."

    The women on the right is his 'half' Sikh ex-wife who he dumped for a better model. It's all fun and games with the narcissist type until they 'upgrade'.

    And this perfectly explains the widespread cases of the abuse of children in england. They reward the people who facilitate it.

    It was about some english guy wearing bana, pretending to be Sikh who was targeting boys for sexual abuse, including in a Gurdwara. It was a black convert from B'ham who informed on him if I recall rightly?

    Gurmat is strictly against mindless violence. Sikhs can only resort to violence in Self-Defense (which includes protecting fellow human beings) and in cases, where all peaceful means have failed.

    Probably. Maybe Hindus first (in ancient times), then a lot of them might have converted to Buddhism and then into Islam.

    paapiman reacted to Premi in Should you take the vaccine?   
    I liked this :
    ""I was never against vaccination," he told the BBC, confirming he'd had vaccines as a child, "but I've always supported the freedom to choose what you put in your body.""
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-60354068
    Novak Djokovic has said he would rather miss out on future tennis trophies than be forced to get a Covid vaccine.
    Speaking exclusively to the BBC, he said missing competitions, such as the French Open, over his jab status was "the price that I'm willing to pay".
    The 20-time Grand Slam winner was deported from Australia last month after the government cancelled his visa in a row over his vaccine status.
    Djokovic described the conditions while he was detained as "very hard".
    He said he had not spoken out in the media at the time - despite wanting to - as he wanted to respect the legal process and the Australian Open.
    The world's number one men's tennis player also said he should not be associated with the anti-vax movement, but supported an individual's right to choose.
    He said he had obtained a medical exemption to enter the country to play in the Australian Open as he had recently recovered from Covid-19.
    However, the country's immigration minister, Alex Hawke, personally cancelled the 34-year-old's visa, on the grounds that his presence could incite "civil unrest" and encourage anti-vaccine sentiment.
    "I was never against vaccination," he told the BBC, confirming he'd had vaccines as a child, "but I've always supported the freedom to choose what you put in your body."
    Doubts over timing of Djokovic Covid test Stance shows determination - however misguided you may think he is In a wide-ranging interview, his first since he was detained in Melbourne in January, Djokovic addressed speculation about the timing of his positive Covid case in December and discussed his own attitude towards the vaccine.
    Djokovic said he hoped vaccination requirements in certain tournaments would change, adding he was hoping he "can play for many more years".
    But he also confirmed he was willing to forego the chance to become statistically the greatest male tennis player of all time because he felt so strongly. Djokovic's rival, Rafael Nadal, has won 21 Grand Slam singles titles - the most of any male competitor.
    Asked why, Djokovic replied: "Because the principles of decision making on my body are more important than any title or anything else. I'm trying to be in tune with my body as much as I possibly can."
    What were the twists and turns of Djokovic's Australia mess? Djokovic said he had "always been a great student of wellness, wellbeing, health, nutrition," and his decision had been partly influenced by the positive impact factors such as changing his diet and his sleeping patterns had had on his abilities as an athlete.
  25. Thanks
