Private Eye Award, Rutland County Councils Chilling Response to
their award of legal bully of the year

http://www.private-eye.co.uk/sections.php?section_link=rotten_boroughs

Those Rotten Boroughs Awards in full Municipal mischief, Issue 1357 LEGAL BULLIES OF THE YEAR Runners-up Scarborough borough council threatened to close down a website, Real Whitby, which had carried embarrassing stories about councillors. Chief legal officer Lisa Dixon demanded that “defamatory and untrue” material be removed. Real Whitby asked for examples, but Dixon could not provide any. WinnersRutland county council, which set aside £90,000 of taxpayers’ money to seek an injunction against three of its own councillors (the “Rutland Anti-Corruption Party”) who had been asking awkward questions. The council tested the water by prosecuting another critic, blogger Martin Brookes, for “harassing and stalking” chief exec Helen Briggs. District judge John Temperley found Brookes not guilty, declaring: “Freedom of expression is an essential function of a democratic society. It is applicable also to those who offend and shock.” A hero on the bench!

It's a great shame Oakham Town Council was not included in the 
award, a special one for these two at least?

I am including a link to the Real Whitby site because their
council chief executive Dixon could not provide
evidence to back up claims against that site and I Helen Briggs Chief Executive
of Rutland County is very similar character.

She provided a bundle of evidence and attempted to use it
against me in court, The judge kindly pointed out most, if not all of it was
not relevant and had no relationship to her or her complaint.

The local tax payers paid for her all her pointless work
collating the bundle.

The tax payers even paid for her time in court, where she lied
in desperation, giving verbal evidence she added "he always follows me around
town and photographs me when I am not at work"!

I raised the issue of her conduct with Rutland County Council,
they responded by saying she was acting in her personal
capacity and not as a council employee.

So why? did they respond to my FOI about the costs
Mrs Briggs incurred to produce her extremely large irrelevant bundle
of none evidence, with yes this was paid for by the tax payer.
Adding the council felt the prosecution of me was part of
of her employment and it was only right for them to support her.

I also raised the matter of the police officer in court who gave evidence
which proved she was in serious breach of laws that surround her restricted post.

She claimed my comments effected how standing with in the Conservative
Party both locally and nationally.

After receiving my complaint Rutland County Council say there
is nothing to investigate and referred me to the Police or the CPS.

I guess the new monitoring officer turned to her boss Helen Briggs
for advice on these matters.

Mr Briggs enjoys having the best of both worlds!

To this date despite an offer from DS. McDonald, Leicestershire
police have taken no action against Cllr Charles Haworth 
or Helen Briggs for perjury or misconduct in public office?

I guess they lost the file? just like they lost my last letter address
to the Chief Constable Simon Cole, fortunately I kept a copy and
another one is on it's way to him. Outlining my defamation claim
against one of his Sergeants, Now you can see why Oakham Police
station lost it. Maybe they should take a rummage in their bin
and remove it, along with all that evidence they binned in the past 
to support Homophobes Cllr Haworth and Former Mayors Harrison and Beech
