Sherlock Heywood’s Morning Mauling
“Sherlock Heywood” has been in front of MPs this morning after Bernard Jenkin summoned him to the Public Administration Committee to put the thumbscrews on over his investigation into the Andrew Mitchell mess:
At #plebgate hearing Jeremy Heywood admits thought that Andrew Mitchell might be victim of "gigantic conspiracy" but decided to do nothing—

Fundamental calculation in No10 on #plebgate – steer clear of police log because PM wanted to avoid accusing police of lying—
Nicholas Watt (@nicholaswatt) January 10, 2013
Heywood has had 30 years of civil service experience to prepare for this gargantuan arse covering exercise—

"To be honest I didn't look at whether the word 'pleb' was used…" Sir Jeremy Heywood tells MPs. Yes, you read that right.—

Jeremy Heywood: I was mildly suspicious when #plebgate emailer refused to meet me or my team—

No one will be hiring 'Sherlock' Heywood to do another investigation any time soon. MPs barely concealing their incredulity at his efforts—

Andrew Mitchell was given cctv 'Plebgate' footage "shortly after" he resigned, Cabinet Sec Jeremy Heywood reveals. Not before.—

'I was just doing my duty,' says Heywood. Hack pack reaches for the sick bags—

That went well then…
close but no Kebab
No Shit Sherlock
Are you on welfare up North?
We live off the state.
L’état, c’est nous.
One is very much into recycling.
Estate.
There is a need today to get One’s facts right when changing the terms of a Contract.
I’m going to ask again, because there’s every possibility that these chancers didn’t… did the police on the gate have *any* official justification to hold Mitchell up as they did?
It was reported at the time, that their orders were not to open the vehicular gates after hours for security reasons, unless necessary .
Ah, first I’ve heard of that. I did look at the police log again, because you would expect all the relevant details to be included, but it only refers to a ‘policy’ about not opening the main gate for ‘pedal cycles’, and nothing about the time.
It’s worth looking at the log, because it does confirm that all of Mitchell’s alleged abuse took place *after* his refusals to comply, as they approached the side gate, and there just wasn’t enough time for him to say all that, let alone for the policeman to warn him he might be arrested.

Justification? We don’t need no justification! We don’t got to show you no stinking justification!
I am not taking any sides but I cannot think of any reason police have to invent a story.
Uh? The police didn’t want to get revenge for cutting their numbers and for the government releasing the facts that the coppers lied through their arses over Hillsborough? That’s two fucking obvious reasons.
Well think harder.
To undermine government plans to reform the police.
I can think of no VALID reason police have to invent a story.
That’s why you’re just a fucking engineer then!
Engineers build the world,
PPE GRADUATES just “cluck” it up
get a real job!
If you have read anything about this at all, you would know they have made up a story ! the P/C who wrote to his MP claimng to be a member of the public who witnessed the incident for starters!
Like everyone they are driven by targets, and rewarded for silence, and do what they think is expected of them. The unwritten command they assume will gain them favour.
The ugly culture of the UK. At no time does anyone get rewarded for honesty or success.
The price of failure in the civil service is a Golden handshake, early retirement and a gold plated pension.
Makes you wonder why more of them don’t try to fuck up. It beats working for a living.
Am I to assume that this apology for an investigator is still in office?
Speaking as a plebeian, which I do not personally regard as an insult, my distinct impression of Heywood’s explanation is that he is a complete,fcuking drip and if he personifies what it takes to be the head of the civil service then god help us all.
Heywood is a career fuckwit,as are most of his ilk .The Great British public deserve better for their tax monies,but there again the civil service deserve better political masters.We lose on both counts, neither of these groups could work anywhere else.The end is nigh.
+1
Take away the twat’s knighthood
Did Heywood tell Dave? Yes. Did Dave do anything? No. Who is the real villain?
…..errr……could it be Alasdair?
Did Heywood tell Dave ALL the facts? I know a civil servant is being economical with the truth when he gets up in a morning.
The police for lying in the first place. If the police had not lied none of this would have happened.
x100
Indeed.
Hogan-Watnot proudly announces he’s got 30 officers working on the case. THIRTY!! Why don’t the 3 or 4 of his officers on duty at the time just tell the fucking truth?
In the private sector he’d be sacked for such sloppy work.
In the public sector he is Cabinet Secretary.
No wonder we’re in a mess.
Heywood’s nothing more than a typical, indoctrinated product of the London School of Economics. Another new age neo liberal who thinks he’s a conservative.
These ‘plants’ have no shame whatsoever.
I was always taught that if you make a mistake, or get caught fiddling the books, you should have the backbone to admit your error/guilt and show a little humility. Not any more.
The civil service, the police and politicians all work for the state. The state is as corrupt as hell. Nationalisation of any industry makes as much sense as sticking your head in a gas oven on Gas Mark 7 for twenty minutes.
That would be the ‘private sector’ that has brought us record energy bills, the ‘private sector’ that has brought us a rail network 3 times more expensive to run than a comparable European network, the ‘private sector’ that charges NHS hospitals 150 notes to change a light bulb, would it?
Do fuck off with your divide’n'rule crap, you private sector parasite.
Touched a nerve,I see. Sit down and have a nice cup of tea.BTW I’ve worked in both sectors.
So have I, ducky – and I see little difference between the two in many cases.
There is crap in the private sector but it could not survive if it had to suffer the calibre of management found in much of the public sector where the Peter principle invariably applies.
… which neatly explains why half of British industry no longer exists.
Oh, do not even go there!! We have the most expensive electricity on the planet – BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT USES THE POWER COMPANIES TO CREATE USELESS WINDMILLS AND DOUBLE POWER CAPACITY, AND PASS THE PRICE TO THE TAXPAYER.
We have the worst and most expensive railway services on the planet BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT CHARGES RAIL COMPANIES £5 BILLION FOR A FRANCHISE FOR A SINGLE RAIL LINE
We have the worst and most expensive public health system in the world BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT LEGISLATES IT TO DEATH, COVERS UP DEATHS FROM POOR HYGIENE, DOUBLED GP SALARIES FOR NO NET GAIN, PUTS THEIR ‘MANAGER/NON-MEDICAL’ MATES INTO NHS TRUST ROLES AND PROMOTES FOR INCOMPETENCE.
Where do you want to go next, Pillock??
Is that the NHS that leaves patients lying in pools of their own piss and shit, is infested with c.Diff and MRSA, that lets patients die of malnutrition and dehydration, and alledgedly allows someone charge them £150 for changing a light bulb?
He should have known that the allegations where a loaf of bollocks. Most people in the country would not thrust the plod to tell then the time. Bernard hyphon Howe rushed back from his hols to sort this out in a matter of days, what has happened with all this rushing about. Zilch,Nada, Nothing.
Heads will roll and then resume their previous position. That’s what nearly always happens to these incompetent, untrustworthy, non-accountable state workers. It’s a fact of nature.
The whole episode was pathetic on the polices part, from the stupid T shirts and cuff links to the actual words allegedly used, i mean who exept Allan B’ Stard has ever said the word “plebs” in living memory?the police must have thought that was a documentary !
Meant load
Meant to use reply
Like Gus o Donnell before him Sir Germy was just faffing about hoping like G.O.D his baronetcy will soon arrive.
Time that top Civil Sevants earned their money than attempted just to protect their present figurehead from flak, ignoring all others.
Clouseau couldn’t have handled the matter more incompetently.
Have you seen my Minkey?
Yes Carina and it could do with a bath…
Has anyone seen my Willy?
Oo-er
Like I give a shit
Hunes, “mildly suspicious”
You righties will enjoy this.
You do know that attributing bigotry to someone on the basis of their political outlook is… bigoted, right?
I actually enjoy watching her, which is largely down to the fact that *she does not give a fuck* about the censorious little squeals of sanctimonious little hang wringers like you. What a refreshing change.
You couldn’t make it up. Unless you were a policeman fabricating evidence, that is.
You are Mr Big and I claim my $10.
I think all this is a conspiracy at the highest levels of Sketchleys in order to get back at the gummint over the G4S Olympic fiasco.
I mean they control everything uniform related. The police, the emergency services, the MOD they are the NWO
There is a rumour going around that the state is going to nationalise the whitewash industry. Its the only thing it is good at.
Typical.
As this happened more than an hour ago WTF is it all about?
Where are all these lefty nutters telling us how good it is for the state to run nearly everything?
Because they can’t think for themselves.
If the PM, when asking the Cabinet Secretary to investigate, had explicitly stated that he didn’t want to accuse the Police of lying, and it subsequently became clear that some policemen may have lied, what course should the Cabinet Secretary have taken? My first though is that he should have sought a private word with the PM, outlined the facts so far established, and requested clarification on his future progress.
Why on earth would the PM order an enquiry and say “dont tell me fibs were told ?” it doesnt make sense.
You’ve not met Dave then?

If half of the world’s food is wasted (and that probably means three quarters in the UK then why the fuck do the poor need food-banks?
I use food banks and I make around 600 potatoes a day in interest alone
Because it’s wasted?
Am I the only who thinks, that if a police officer tries to remove a member of the dually elected government, that that is in fact a coup d’etre and the officer should be tried for treason
Or applauded
You think its ok to fit up a Cabinet minister, and cause him to lose his job ? what a moron you are !
When they start representing the people rather themselves I may change my view
Every corrupt, oppressive military junta and police state in the history of the universe arose because of odious little fuckwits such as you.
I agree, i read somewhere that it could be treason.
i thought Jack Straw did away with Treason as a charge?
little favour for Toe-nail Blier i guess (if he did)
Coup d’être, n. A sudden realisation that you exist.
Like a Raison d’état
Reason for state
Or even a coup d’etat. ‘etre’ being the verb ‘to be’, but please continue.
duly or dually?
Dually – we have a coalition government, remember.
The sinister side of UK life: The unwritten, or changed, rule.
So who made up this policy of gate opening and why was it secret from even the MPs.
I suppose it is their just rewards since they too, are putting in place a law that will allow a private body to create a new criminal law in 28 days without any democratic control. Can we just stop this madness. Laws should only be created by true democratic entities. All other rules can not be criminal. See Ports bill.
Also giving away our personal identity to criminal elements, like car park operators, has to stop unless we get to see which private firms have accessed our information and why.
” un coup d’être ” ??? More like “un coup monté
After a drophead coup, eh ?
When the police decide who can be in government, that’s what we call a police state.
Interest rate no move, QE same
Meanwhile, in Reading, ████ ████ ██ ████ ████ ████████ ████ ████ ██████ ████ ███ ████ ██. Twice.

That is strange…
In the Barking Herald, it leads with Dog Seen Reading.
What do you make of that?

I’m amazed white British make up as much as 45% in Luton.
The DT is not allowing comments on that article; I wonder why?
They probably don’t have enough lawyers.
Next – London, Birmingham and Manchester.
It’s almost worthwhile letting it happen just to watch lefties indulging in a bit of white flight while frantically trying to make it look otherwise.
It’s already happened in London – 45% white Brits.
When official Government figures say 863,000 illegal immigrants in UK,mainly in London.You just know to arrive at the true figure double that.Why would anybody be amazed at the lack of white English anywhere?
No one will be hiring ‘Sherlock’ Heywood to do another investigation any time soon. MPs barely concealing their incredulity at his efforts……..
The public could barely contain their incredulity at Lord Hutton’s investigative efforts, but nothing was done about that.
To sum up
1. Butch asks Heywood to check out the email to see whether it gives him an excuse to fire Mitchell
2. Heywood says no, it’s unreliable.
3. Butch sacks him anyway because he’s scared of the tabs.
4. Tories decide to blame Heywood.
So when’s Butch giving evidence?
when are you going to fuck off
What is Jeremy Heywood’s salary and what pension will he receive?
The Met produced a high ranking Pleb policeman to gloat over the conviction of an intelligent female officer in the phonehacking trial. Strange how the Met hasn’t been able to find a male officer to prosecute. I thought Scotland Yard employed detectives!
Apparently she mightent go to prison as she is in the process of adopting a 3 year old ! it would be interesting to hear when that started !
