Katy Bourne's Conflict of Interest.

Shadow Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner | 28.07.2014 11:28 | Policing | South Coast

Serious questions are being asked of Katy Bourne's decision to employ an ex-Sussex Policeman as her £82K a year Chief Executive Officer.

The obvious fact is that Mark Streater is a conflict of Interest.

Mark Streater must go now
Mark Streater must go now


SPCC KATY BOURNE’S CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Katy Bourne, the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner is under renewed pressure today to fire her £82K a year Chief Executive officer Mark Streater.

Following on from the resignation of Baroness Butler-Sloss as the chair of the Child-abuse inquiry set up by David Cameron to investigate paedophiles in Parliament, pressure is mounting for Katy Bourne to do the same.

The fact that Katy Bourne has employed an ex -Sussex police employee of 30 years, is clearly a conflict of interests, which has already resulted in serious faults in Katy Bourne’s tenure-ship as Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner.

When taking into the Governments own guide-lines as set out in the Parliamentary Ombudsman's 'Principles of good Administration,’ Baroness Butler-Sloss took the only action open to her and resigned her post as chair, due to the conflict of interest that her late brother was a suspected paedophile at worse and a paedophile protector at best.

It's with this in mind that Katy Bourne now finds herself in the uncomfortable position of having to sack her Chief Executive officer whom she regards as her “Rock.”

To remind you of section 2 of part 4 of Parliamentary Ombudsman's 'Principles of good Administration.'

The actions and decisions of a public body should be free from any personal bias or interests that could prejudice those actions and decisions, and any conflict of interests should be declared. Public bodies should not act in a way that unlawfully discriminates against or unjustifiably favours particular individuals or interests.

A conflict of interest has already been demonstrated by the investigation of misconduct into ex-Chief constable, Martin Richards, by Mark Streater.

Following a complaint by Mr Regan and Setchfield who accused Martin Richards of serious fraud and malfeasance in office, centered around an incident at the Bohemia police station in Hastings on 12 February 2009, Katy Bourne tasked Mark Streater to investigate.

Demonstrating the conflict of interest and the detrimental affect it has on cases like this, Mark Streater predictably concluded that Martin Richards had no case to answer.

It's prudent to know that in Mark Streater’s investigation into the ex-Chief Constable’s conduct while in office, he failed to take any statements from either Mr Regan or Mr Setchfield in relation to their complaint.

This fact alone shows the conflict of interest of an ex-Sussex police of 30 years, tasked with holding the Chief Constable of Sussex police to account.

Having broken her oath on more than two occasions, Katy Bourne now finds herself facing imminent pressure from both the College of Policing and the Federation of Police Officers to explain herself and justify the appointment of Mark Streater.

The Parliamentary Ombudsman's 'Principles of good Administration,' continues:

• People should be treated fairly and consistently, so that those in similar circumstances are dealt with in a similar way. Any difference in treatment should be justified by the individual circumstances of the case.

• When taking decisions, and particularly when imposing penalties, public bodies should behave reasonably and ensure that the measures taken are proportionate to the objectives pursued, appropriate in the circumstances and fair to the individuals concerned.

• If applying the law, regulations or procedures strictly would lead to an unfair result for an individual, the public body should seek to address the unfairness. In doing so public bodies must, of course, bear in mind the proper protection of public funds and ensure they do not exceed their legal powers.

The following email from Mr Regan and Mr Setchfield emailed to all interested parties including the Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Deputy PM, again demonstrates Katy Bourne failure to adhere to Parliamentary Ombudsman's 'Principles of good Administration.'

"FRAUD, DECEPTION AND STOLEN GOVERNMENT MONEY".

Firstly, as you will all clearly see we have copied into the cc column above many individuals for the pure purpose of openness and transparency, and, to obviously ensure that you are all fully aware of our requests and that of the severity of the entire situation that we have repeatedly reported to the Rt Hon Theresa May.

We are emailing you all to ask for your intervention and support over the theft of the stolen government money that has been stolen by an organized gang of criminals, who have premeditatedly set-out to deliberately steal money from the British government, and, stealing money that is being held on trust by the government on behalf of the hard working tax paying British public, fact.

We would ask of you all, to please address fully the matters raised in this email, and, for the record, we now hold you all personally responsible as serving politicians of the united Kingdom to safeguard the public fund from any further premeditated fraud, deception and theft, and, furthermore, that you will all personally also guarantee and warrant to us and to the citizens of the United Kingdom, that you will all personally give the very best of your ability, honesty and integrity, to ensure the restoration of the public fund and to see that the vile organized gang of criminals who have stolen the money from the British tax payer, are dealt with immediately and placed before the criminal court to face the very serious fraud and deception that has most certainly and indeed, taken place.

"For the record" and for the avoidance of absolutely any doubt whatsoever, we can confirm and advise you all in total honesty, that we have gone out of our way and repeatedly reported many very serious events to the Rt Hon Theresa May and other members of the British government that you are all currently working with, and, we feel in our opinion, that some of these particular individuals that you are currently working in partnership with, would not seem to be as sincere as they would like you all to believe they are. This has been most spectacularly repeatedly demonstrated to us on many countless occasions now, that is to say, and, to confirm to you all, absolutely, due to their total silence over the theft of the stolen government money that they are all in "full receipt of" and in "full knowledge of," due to our repeated efforts to report the very serious theft of the stolen government money to the Rt Hon Theresa may.

It would appear abundantly clear to us that despite our repeated attempts to report the matter to any government official, it is the case, that once they have received the information from us, they all then run away from us at lightning speed in absolute terror and fear and are unable to respond to us with any kind of meaningful dialog, where they should be seeking of course, "most definitely" more information from us in order to deal with the very serious set-of circumstances that we have repeatedly reported to them all.

We can also advise you all in no uncertain terms, that we have gone out of our way and repeatedly reported to some of your colleagues in Westminster, certain information relating to the activities of a "puppet master" who has been operating and organizing serious criminality by organizing a gang of criminals to steal serious amounts of government money, which we might add, that because of their continued and obstinate silence, we truly believe that the amount of money that is being stolen, could possibly run into the (£billions of pounds) of government money that is being embezzled and continually stolen from the citizens of the United Kingdom on a regular basis.

We feel that we should now draw to your urgent attention, and also report to you all personally, that senior government officials and their colleagues have all failed to respond to us with any kind meaningful dialog with reference to the stolen government money that has been stolen, and, in particular to, the very activities of the "puppet master" that we have repeatedly reported to them all over the very serious theft of the government money that has been stolen, fact.

Furthermore, this particular unpleasant and controlling "puppet master" that is at work here, we truly believe has immense control and an overwhelming power over many high ranking public servants within the British government. It has been repeatedly highlighted and demonstrated to us on many occasions now, that this particular arrogant, conceited and domineering "puppet master" will stop at nothing to get his own way, and, that he is more than prepared to involve as many third parties working in government offices as possible, to aid and assist him in creating the most horrendous set-of fraudulent circumstances in order to, protect his own position and identity, it is with this in mind, that we say to you all, that we are more than prepared to reveal the identity of this cowardly "puppet master" as it is now long overdue that he is exposed and dealt with as appropriate through the criminal courts in the usual way.

It should be further noted, and placed on record, that many of the serious events that have taken place here, with particular references to the serious amounts of government money that has been fraudulently stolen, it has also been repeatedly reported to an outstanding amount of government officials and public servants by ourselves and a Mr Matthew Taylor. Mr Matthew Taylor just happens to be the Shadow Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (SSPCC) and, an independent candidate for the Brighton Kemptown (2015) election. On this particular topic, it should also be noted, again, on the record, that Mr Matthew Taylor has also gone out if his way as a citizen of the United Kingdom, to report all of the very serious matters, such as we ourselves have done, but, he like us, has been totally ignored despite his repeated reporting of the stolen government money and that of all of the criminality that has taken place around the very theft of the huge amounts of government money that has been stolen, and, that is continually being stolen to this very day, fact.

Please take note, it is the case "most definitely" that all of the stolen government money that has been fraudulently stolen, and, for the avoidance of absolutely any doubt whatsoever, this stolen government money, still remains stolen government money, and, money that has been stolen from the tax paying British public and the citizens of the united kingdom.

It is also the case and should be further noted, that we have repeatedly reported to many of your colleagues that a particular member of the public who was at the scene of the fraudulent theft of the stolen government money, was indeed, "stripped bare naked" and "seriously abused" and "assaulted" whilst that particular member of the public was laying naked on the cold floor.

We do have the most deep seated worries and concerns with reference to this particular member of the public who received serious injuries that were inflicted by a PS Matthew Presland, police number (CP806) and his colleagues.

These deep seated worries and concerns are shared by many of our colleagues who like us; fear that it is a very strong and real possibility that this particular member of the public may not have gained consciousness after the very serious and violent assault that was inflicted upon the member of the public. It should be noted, again, on the record, that everything is evidence based and has all been recorded on the most up to date CCTV recording system, which has already been repeatedly reported to the home secretary, the Rt Hon Theresa May.

It is a published fact, thatPS Matthew Presland, police number (CP806), has been dismissed with immediate effect from public office for other such serious related offences that include, "bullying and racism". This instant dismissal from public office has taken place since the serious assault that he and his colleagues had inflicted upon a naked member of the public, thus, causing serious injury. It should be further noted, that the member of the public who sustained serious injury at the hands of the confirmed bully PS Matthew Presland, police number (CP806) and his colleagues, was then refused urgent medical attention for the very serious injuries that had been inflicted upon that particular member of the public.

All of the contents within this email have already been repeatedly reported to the Rt Hon Theresa May, but, unfortunately, all of the criminality that has been repeatedly reported to the Rt Hon Theresa May, has been met with the wall of silence from indeed, ms may and all of her colleagues at the home office.

We do of course realize and appreciate how busy you must all be at this time, but, due to the severity of the matter in quantum, we really must insist that you all reply to us as a matter of pure courtesy, by return please. Once we have received a reply from you all, we will then of course proceed the matter forward and naturally keep all of our colleagues and readers up-dated over the ongoing serious situation that we have repeatedly reported to the Rt Hon Theresa May and the home office.

FINALLY, IF IT IS THE CASE THAT YOU ALL FAIL TO RESPOND AND REPLY TO US BY RETURN, AS WE HAVE QUITE POLITELY REQUESTED, THAT IS TO SAY, WITH A MEANINGFUL AND SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE, SUCH AS SEEKING INFORMATION FROM US IN RELATION TO ALL OF THE ACTS OF CRIMINALITY THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE HERE, AND, THAT WE HAVE GONE OUT OF OUR WAY AND REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO YOU ALL, THEN WE FEEL UNDOUBTEDLY, THAT IT IS OUR DUTY AND MORAL OBLIGATION TO INFORM YOU ALL, THAT BEING AS YOU ARE NOW ALL IN "FULL RECEIPT" AND IN "FULL KNOWLEDGE" OF ALL THE VERY SERIOUS MATTERS THAT WE HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO YOU ALL, IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY AND INDEED BE THE CASE QUITE CLEARLY, AND, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER, THAT YOU WILL ALL BE "AIDING AND ABETTING" ALL OF THE VERY SERIOUS CRIMES THAT WE HAVE REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO YOU ALL, AND, THAT BY NOT RESPONDING TO US BY RETURN, AS WE HAVE NOW REQUESTED YET ONCE AGAIN, MUST OF COURSE TRULY HIGHLIGHT AND CONFIRM TO US, OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER, THAT WHAT WE ARE REPORTING TO YOU ALL, MUST OF COURSE BE (100%) CORRECT AND TRUE.
BY RETURN PLEASE, THANK YOU.
YOURS SINCERELY
REGAN AND SETCHFIELD.
