GEORGE DAVIS FITTED-UP FOR 35 YEARS. BACK IN COURT. COPS HAVE SUPPRESSED EVIDENCE FOR OVER 3 DECADES. AND NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME. READ ON.

UP AGAINST THE LAW (UPAL) Magazine (August 1975)
containing a 23 page detailed researched analysis of the
GEORGE DAVIS FIT-UP. It was and remains the best ever
publicly made available account of the actual case - and was written
by this blogger who at that time was a full time member of the
UPAL FIGHT-BACK POLITICAL COLLECTIVE .
In May 1976 just two years into a 20 year sentence
GEORGE DAVIS released - but not declared innocent.
-------------------
When East End Mini Cab Driver GEORGE DAVIS got sent to prison for armed robbery etc., back in the mid Seventies - see HERE - he did not know details of certain evidence that police had that could have prevented his conviction but which police had kept secret - there were also other abuses of process but the suppressed evidence has now come to light - see HERE - even though DAVIS was freed in May 1976 altho' not declared innocent. So he has always had the conviction on his record - which included attempted murder of a cop which he did not actually do. Today his Appeal Court legal representatives stressed when the Appeal began that the evidence suppressed by the police for all these years was an extremely grave wrong doing.

The Appeal is not yet concluded. However it is interesting in the light of the above to look back at another case in which it transpired in December 2003 that police evidence of an extremely corrupt nature if true was suppressed by police for over 20 years resulting in 2 men serving that period in prison for murders which had it been disclosed at the time of their 1980 prosecution would not have led to their convictions, and being given life sentences of imprisonment.

The two men in question - Harry MacKenney and Terry Pinfold were convicted of a series of alleged gangland killings - separated in time and circumstance - and no bodies etc were produced in evidence. They were convicted on the word of a supergrass who was an associate of theirs.

At the Appeal Court in 2003 after 21 years inside, protesting their innocence, evidence was sworn that helped lead to their release. The evidence - see HERE - came from an ex CID officer who back in the late Seventies had wanted to investigate the circumstances of the disappearence of one of the victims whose murder MacKenney and Pinfold had been accused of and convicted of. This ex cop's December 2003 testimony informed the Court that he was warned off doing any such investigations - that he was told by a senior CID officer that the murdered person was actually still alive - not dead - and that if he did continue to investigate there would be almighty problems for the CID etcetera and indeed that it would be they that would end up inside.

So this important information of police corruption was suppressed on all sides for 20 years plus and this includes even by the ex-officer who'd kept it quiet and had got away with it - so much for police accountability. So far as is known known publicly - altho MacKenney and Pinfold were released after 21 years inside - no cops were ever prosecuted etc., for this seemingly incredible police malfunction.

The GEORGE DAVIS appeal turning largely on knowingly suppressed evidence by the police for 35 years brings the late Seventies separate MacKenney and Pinfold Case to mind.

VAUXHALL CIVIC SOCIETY PART 2 - SOMEBODY HAS TO PICK UP THE PIECES. "DENNIS NILSEN AT CHELSEA BRIDGE".

CLICK CLICK ON THE ABOVE IMAGE TO GREATLY ENHANCE TEXT SIZE.

Hey presto lo and behold today we read that ancient Britons - here - were cannibals alas, and used human skulls as drinking vessels! Religions sanitise the past - as I contended last summer on my Sicilian travels when cornered by a POLIZZI GENEROSA "believer". Would I like to participate in an organised pilgrimage walk to a local mountainside church - see here - which walk would extinguish - if I confessed them - my past sins? I had none which I wanted to confess so no. I instead requested that they take on board that I'd totally prefer for God or The Pope to somehow arrange things so that at my age now I did not get tired on making my mountain journeys on foot. Put in writing my above alternative request sure extinguished their interest in my continued participation.

Anyways back to Vauxhall Civic Society, Picking Up the Pieces (accepting responsibility) and Dennis Nilsen at Chelsea Bridge. And to Professor Andrew Saint's talk on 15th February re the SURVEY OF LONDON which touched upon Nine Elms and the riverside areas. Including Battersea - as the promotional publicity - here - had advised. Indeed in his interesting and very well illustrated talk Prof. Saint even recommended visiting Nine Elms Sunday Morning Flea Market - maybe unaware that relatively recently the said Market has become significantly depleted by comparison to how it thrived less than a year ago.

Of course the riverside embankment areas in the vicinity of nearby CHELSEA BRIDGE within full view of Nine Elms Power Station - much mentioned by Prof. Saint - has significantly changed in the past decade or so particularly with the construction of the luxury apartment blocks at the southside bridge embankments. In the early Nineties a Sunday morning attraction adjacent to the Bridge was BUNGEE JUMPING which said activity quite by chance occasioned a visit by an observer who equally by chance happened to be reading "KILLING FOR COMPANY" an account of the life up to the mid 1980's of convicted serial killer Dennis Nilsen. Although it is an extremely unhappy book it also curiously discussed his professional activities as a Police Officer and subsequently a local Government Officer - and in both capacities serial killing aside he was credited with having performed his responsibilities conscientiously. These aspects of his background helped to encourage interest in his doings given the appaling propensities he also had which led him to commit his incredibly gruesome series of murders.

So Sunday morning Bungee Jumping is in full swing (no pun intended) on a summery Chelsea Bridge morning with an observer present amid the calling out and screaming who happened to be reading "KILLING FOR COMPANY". Of course such reading isn't everybody's cup of tea (understatement) but that said not everyone can abstain - as with all incredibly and gravely difficult unfortunate happenings there are those with responsibilities who as it were absolutely have to "pick up the pieces".

The above poem "DENNIS NILSEN AT CHELSEA BRIDGE" which in part very significantly evolved from that Chelsea Bridge Bungee Jump occasion went on to occasion even further trauma. To properly understand the content of the poem one would need to have read of the incredibly macabre and deeply crazed and weird introspections of Nilsen detailed - so far as they reasonably could be - in the volume. They involved Nilsen's amazingly macabre introspective use of mirrors, and curiously - in the immediate vicinity of the Bungy Jump - items of 2nd hand collectables were being sold on Sunday mornings!!

The poem touches on Nilsen's imagined introspections, on his self doubt, on his utter alienation and the sheer brutality and inhumanity of the behaviours in which he indulged - which in addition to murder included gruesome victim dismemberments and secret burials. At the time of the visit the author of the poem had been a sometime member of the LONDON VOICES POETRY WORKSHOP but that poem effectively closed off that continued participation. Its content was deemed to be too brutal and off-putting - exhibit such a poem said LVPW and no one will come near our workshops! So much for "picking up the pieces" by LVPW!! Of course it is NOT an easy poem but it is one that was graphically born out of passing events as they played on the imagination, in part as a direct result of that Chelsea Bridge Sunday Morning Bungee Jumping visit. Of course Bunjee Jumping of itself has extremely fearful undercurrents which are very obvious.

In the Nineties - alas now no more - we had the amazingly free and open-minded BRIXTON POETS GROUP - we had a lovely unique rule to stop endless repetitions - namely that the same poem is not to be read twice. However you always otherwise read whatever you wanted. Steve Micalef''s beautiful poem VAMPIRES SUCK PUSS! - here - is already posted on this blog. If only life was 100 percent vanilla
with no "pieces to be picked up".
Alas life isn't and never will be.

"RADICAL DEGENERATION" - A BLAIRITE "X" CERT' WAR CRIMES MOVIE STARRING PETER HAIN MP.

This is Hain's biggest movie to date. It doesn't feature his vanilla performance on Radio 4 "ANY QUESTIONS?" this evening. There are mid-'Seventies handwritten manuscript letters from Armley Prison written by GEORGE DAVIS IS INNOCENT OK campaigners awaiting trial for their mid Seventies sensational HEADINGLEY TEST CRICKET WICKET - "SORRY IT HAD TO BE DONE" SABOTAGE.
---
WARNING

This is an "X" certificate movie with thousands upon thousands of deaths of innocent people. These also include UK service personnel used as fodder in the pursuit of WAR CRIMES adventures which HAIN voted for and supported - the 'Seventies armed robbery and other crime sequences are as nothing compared to the slaughter and death meted out in Irak as a result of BUSH, BLAIR and HAIN's filthy deceitful degenerative war crimes initiatives. This movie makes Julian Assange look like a WIKILEAKS snowdrop from heaven!
