Complaint re Dame Anne Owers - Home Office acknowledgement received

Finally, Chris Blairs of the IPCC Sponsor Unit in the Home Office has acknowledged receipt of my formal complaint regarding the conduct of Dame Anne Owers sent to him on 30th January 2014.

Here is the text of Mr. Blair's belated acknowledgement:

12 March 2014

Dear Dr Watt

Thank you for your letter of 30 January raising a complaint against Dame Anne Owers, Chair of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

As Head of the IPCC Sponsor Unit within the Home Office, I am responsible for hearing all complaints against the Chair of the IPCC. All complaints are treated seriously and I will therefore write to you shortly with fuller consideration..


Yours sincerely



Christopher Blairs
Head of Police Transparency Unit
It has taken the Home Office almost 7 weeks to acknowledge receipt of my complaint. At this rate of progress Dame Anne Owers may have retired before the complaint is heard.

Perhaps that is Mr. Blairs' intention.

  1. Do you know one of the influences upon Jack Straw to create IPCC ? It was the late John Allen of Ramsgate and Richard Card of Ramsgate. John, Chair of a Residents Assn, had all 30 of his complaints refused discipline and crime complaint status.

    The idea was to end a Chief constable power to veto complaints against officers. Admittedly what was created is a disappointment.

    Dear Sir
    COPY OF REPORT SENT TO TERRORISM LAW REVIEW QCs

    I enclose a copy and apologise that some of the document wallets I bought from W H Smith are slightly too small for A4.

    INFORMATION SENT FROM BILL TRUE re STEPHEN LAWRENCE KILLING
    Bill was only ever approached by people who were, like his family, suffering venomous persecution by Kent Police. There was never a case informative useful approach.
    So I imagine the source of the information about a cell mate confession re Lawrence would have been from someone who spoke to Bill for the above reason.
    Redacted ............

    So that was the scuttlebutt information we sent to Met. Bill died suddenly a few weeks ago so I have to work from memory but I think one of the cell mates had robbed a wine warehouse but not sure.
    redacted

    Det sgt DAVIDSON
    In the report of information you need pages 104 to 108 especially. “Visitor” should be identifiable as ............ from your CIB 3 inquiries of the time. And you will be able to find out if Legion of Frontiersmen was under Special Branch inquiry and how the ubiquitous Shortt escaped that. “Visitor” also gives information related to Donald Urquhart murder which would be on Met record.
    Clearly you need, for Theresa May’s judge led inquiry to establish if ........ was working for ex DI Leighton at Mayfayre and whether their clients included the Russia (Josef Linder) work of the ubiquitous Shortt. (Who “Visitor” says was working for Charlie Kray)
    You would also be able to check if after the 1998 Dover “Debrief” of Putnam when Davidson was arrested did he have an illegal firearm as “Visitor” says ?

    GUYS CHILD DEATH 1995
    FOI suggests that Met never reviewed the case after the 1996 discovery of massive cock up in sudden death inquiry and never reviewed the case 1997 et seq (The Kent Police Authority call for inquiry during Kent deployment on Lawrence case) and never reviewed the case in 2003 when General De Chasterlain sent NI Office a report of concern about sabotage being left out of decommissioning terms of GFA.

  3. DUNGENESS A SUGAR BOMB HOAX ARRESTS 1996
    Since sending Lord Carlile and the independent QC the report a backup genny engineer spoke to me and told me what he had found at Dungeness A. I sent a report of concern to Nuclear Watchdog and I think their site inspectorate may be carrying out an inquiry. But since Dungeness A is now decommissioned and safe on natural coolant circulation they may decide merely to note the information.
    From your point of view, sorry I cannot say how long the bizarre backup genny fault was lurking on system and neither is it possible to say whether it was fault or sabotage based on the facts stated, that requires proper technical inquiry, the consequence of the 1996 IRA attack if successful may indeed have been to provoke a nuclear criticality incident (Chernobyl) like Hunterston B came close to in 1998. (Making Straw’s decision to suppress the inquiries called for by KPA all the more worrying and dangerous to national security and resilience) See also report re serious nuclear incident Dounreay 1998.

    SEA WOLF
    Although this is not your area what also happened after I sent in report is that ........ Portsmouth Dockyard spoke to me after the BAe closure announcement and told me about Sea Wolf management orchestrated factory test falsifications in the period before Falklands War. So same story as Plessey Torpedos and Sonar (See report) and Petbow Generators (see report). Falsification of factory test records orchestrated by managers and directors. The practice pinged by USA Defence Dept in their courts against UK Lucas Aerospace and others early 90s when they won damages in UK courts for supplying unreliable equipment to US Forces.
    I was hoping the ..... might know something about the serious nuclear incident Devonport 2012 due to shore backup genny failures. But I got his first hand knowledge of Sea Wolf (which did perform tolerably well in Falklands)

  5. KEN SPEAKMAN MURDER
    I enclose a submission I sent Parole Board that pretty much covers it
    You will note that Nick Biddis wasn’t just being obstructed in his Kenny Noye road rage murder inquiry but also in this murder case.
    STRAW DOREEN LAWRENCE ROS HOWELLS AND MANSFIELD
    Did they breach Sections 38B and 54 Terrorism Act 2000 by being silent ?
    Did they conspire against the course of justice in the prosecutions against Dobson and Norris by concealing their knowledge that Kent Police were compromised in their investigation of Lawrence case ?
    Are they in breach of the civil nuclear statutory reporting duties in Terrorism Law ?
    Was Mansfield involved in the British Irish Rights Watch submission to Rosemary Nelson inquiry which concealed their knowledge of paramilitary collusion in Kent and Straw’s suppression of inquiry March 99 ? Which concealed their knowledge that Sir Ronnie Flanagan contacted Straw March 99 and Kent Chief constable suddenly left Rosemary Nelson case when Straw chose to suppress inquiry.
    SHORTT’s SECURITY STATUS AT TIME OF VISITORS INFORMATION
    To gain work in 2008 as a security contractor consultant for Cabinet security he would have had to have a prior security clearance to even apply ? So how come his security clearance had survived all the history since he first polluted Deal Barracks in 1976 ?
    JUDGE LED INQUIRY
    I think it essential that Theresa May include this in Terms of Reference. Especially Straw’s decision to suppress inquiry and later decision to repeal Unlawful Drilling Act 1819. As you know this act was our protection against legalised paramilitary groups (Like Legion of Frontiersmen under SB inquiry during Lawrence inquiry ?) being able to have guns and act as a private army. The 1936 Act (which should have been used against Nation of Islam at Lawrence Inquest) yields the power to attorney general whether he deems a private army to be usurping the functions of police or army. Sir Richard Dannat was far sharper than you lot by the way when he issued the Army a constitutional guideline leaflet. How do you feel that a paramilitary group could start “Policing in support of civil power” and an AG say it is OK they are not usurping the function of that nice Sir Bernard ??
    You have to think about this. You and the Armed Forces take oath of office to the Queen. This is Petition of Rights stuff. We cannot have self styled private armies running about. Personally I think Straw should produce a psychiatric assessment to Judge Led Inquiry.

  7. Lord Carlile concluded report is not conspiracy theory. You did well to get a reply in 7 weeks. Scotland Yard signed for delivery of the report in March. Still not reply from Sir Bernard. Theresa May was sent a copy of the covering letter. No reply.

    From your point of view I think you should look at Alan Kidger murder and maybe the 1994 Desmond Tutu Commission of Inquiry into mercenaries allegedly despatched from Thanet Kent.

    The informant "Visitor" was with International Bodyguard Assn when a group contacted him about support for "South Africa Scouts". But he blew them out.

    Was this bodyguard organisation the source of moonlight bodyguard work to Det sgt John Davidson and four of his colleagues (Disciplinary 1995 three RCS men left police)
