Where Does Police Priority Lie?

Picture from The Guardian

I don't know if it is my distrust in the policing system and the overtly militant personality exercised by officers which makes me detest bully vans .. but, I am starting to wonder how and if the Met are being innovative in their approach to gain the public's trust and support.

On and around International Woman's Day (which falls on March 8th), thousands of women gather from the UK and beyond to protest for an environment in which women can live safely, without being threatened by male violence. The Million Woman Rise (MWR) is a protest organized solely by volunteers, which has been running over the past seven years. Over the years the Metropolitan police have backed the security of this protest/event in Central London.

However, this year things are changing .. the police have informed the organizers that they can no longer provide security, and the people in charge of this movement should employ their own stewarding employees, which can have quite hight costs that cannot be afforded by the people involved.

In addition, many of the women who will potentially be participating, will have suffered domestic abuse, both mental and physical or know someone close to them that has. Therefore, the woman may perhaps feel vulnerable and at risk, without police presence for rallying so pro-actively. Police can play chase with petty thugs and criminals, but not provide the appropriate backing that marginalized members of society may need to get on with their lives. Are they really doing their job? Why have they all of a sudden .. ceased to provide attendance ? Funding cuts? Have they got somewhere better to be .. parked up on a side road to target another young man from an ethnic minority background?

Sabrina Qureshi, the primary organizer has decided to go along with the March, which will take place on Saturday the 7th of March. There will be a point of meeting for women interested at Trafalgar Square on the day. I admire Qureshi's determination to go ahead with making a change to the well being of people and wish everyone involved best wishes.

Prisoners Are Being Mistreated By Jail Staff. Odigie, A Previous Category A Prisoner, Tells Me His Story Of The Misconduct Present In Jail.

G4S Medway Centre for young offenders has been under extreme scrutiny since January this year, when BBC Panaroma revealed the harrowing crimes committed by custody officers against the young people in their care.

Only about a month ago, a prisoner got in touch with me via his contraband mobile phone, putting me in touch with a 'brother' who had been treated unfairly by the justice system and had a story to tell. The latter is a man named Jude Odigie, who otherwise goes by his Muslim name Hamzah, and is currently residing abroad in Nigeria with his family. Myself and Odigie have been communicating through whatsapp, by sending each other messages and occasionally discussing things on the phone.

Ex-Gangster Gwenton Gives Up Guns & Crime And Now Supports Ex-Criminals To Lead Better Lives!

Gwenton Soley : A Changed,Charming Charismatic Man Mums and Dads living in the cold, bleak, but blissful city of London, are forever anxious about the safety and future of their teenage children who may fall victim to a life of crime and end up in jail, or worse case scenario, dead. Lets face it, every now and again, a teenager is murdered and we see a grieving mother on the news, only to forget about it the next day or two, and then mourn over another teenager's death sometimes the next day, sometimes the following week or even a month later. Last year alone, the Office For National Statistics revealed a staggering statistic of a 27% rise in violent crimes - most of these amounted to gun and knife crime committed by young people against young people. This year alone, so far, we have had a series of knife and gun attacks involving young people which has left some severely injured and some dead as a result of petty crime,over gan

It Felt Good To Be Invisible For Once!

Many times I have complained and moaned to others, and might I add, boasted, about the overwhelming attention I receive on the road from male spectators . Although, compared to most daring westernised girls who have no problem with showing off their legs, cleavage and body shape, I make sure to cover as much skin as possible. With that being said, I wear extra layers underneath tops and jumpers so less can be seen, and I enjoy wearing long jackets. As a result, I have boasted many times about the 'prettiness' of my face, as a man has nothing more to go on when he spots me and approaches me. Most girls cannot boast about this, neither make the same claim, as I myself, have witnessed men smack their tongues across their lips in lust at a woman's behind, only to follow her and show an apparent disappointed expression on their face, at the woman's face. Laugh as you wish, but when I'm seeing girls forcefully arching their backs whilst walking, I can't help but de
