The Elderly Abuse of David 'Joe' Neilson
Let's talk about Joe!
Matt Taylor & David 'Joe' Neilson the day after their arrest in January 2015
READ MORE: https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/11738473.prospective-mp-angry-over-arrest/
I first met him in 2012, after I declared my intention to stand in the inaugural 2012 Police and Crime Commissioner elections.
His first question to me was, "what will you do about police corruption?" to which I remember answering, "what police corruption."
Since that day both Joe and I have formed a firm friendship and I've learnt (first-hand) all about the Katrina Taylor murder cover-up.
I've written extensively about Katrina Taylor (no relation,) which you can read via the links below.
https://mrxinvestigations.home.blog/2018/11/28/the-journey-begins/
To cut a long story short; Katrina Taylor was murdered in 1996 and Joe Neilson was the main witness who pointed Sussex police to her killers.
While her killers were brought to justice; justice was interfered with, and her killers allowed to walk free.
As of today, the Katrina Taylor murder remains an unsolved murder, and a murder no one wants to talk about. In fact its fair to say, Katrina Taylor's murder is being erased from history.
Joe Neilson calls foul, claiming a murder cover-up. In response, Joe has been hounded out of his home, too scared to return in fear he'll be killed by Sussex Police.
Joe asks the question; Who told Sussex CC Paul Whitehouse in 1996 to cover up Katrina's murder and Mark Slade/ Marcel Sulcs part in the murder?
Which raises our own questions;
Who is Sussex CC Paul Whitehouse and who is Mark Slade/Marcel Sulc?
Chief Constable of Sussex Police Paul Whitehouse – 1993-2001
Extract taken from Celebrating 50 years of Sussex Police…
Paul Whitehouse hit the headlines in 2001 following his resignation from his post, following the fatal shooting of James Ashley, 39, an unarmed man, who laid naked in his bed with his girlfriend, when he was shot and killed.
The then Home Secretary in Tony Blair's government, David Blunkett, put pressure on Whitehouse to resign. He effectively invited the now defunct Sussex Police Authority, to dismiss Whitehouse if it wanted to restore public confidence in the county's police force.
Retiring on a full pension; (a common trend among police officers who found themselves facing disciplinary action), Whitehouse maintained he had done nothing wrong, and that his police officers acting professionally, so much so that he promoted the two police officers after the event.
He said at the time, "I have done nothing wrong. I have behaved to the highest standards of integrity that I expect all my officers to have."
James Ashley
Ashley was shot by a member of PC Chris Sherwood, a member of Sussex police Special Operations Unit, when it raided a flat in St Leonards, Hastings, in January 1998. Officers had been told that two men, probably armed, were in the flat with a large quantity of drugs.
Ashley, who had a conviction for manslaughter, was in bed with his girlfriend when the police broke in. He was shot when he apparently went to turn on a light.
PC Sherwood would later be acquitted of murder and manslaughter at the Old Bailey. Charges of criminal misconduct against four senior officers involved in planning the raid were also dropped.
The final straw appears to be Whitehouse's subsequent decision to go ahead with the promotion of two of the officers and backdate their pay increases precipitated the events that led to his resignation. The move angered members of the police authority, who were not consulted. One source said it was the "final straw".
Clearly defiant and insistent that he had done nothing wrong, Whitehouse said, "My integrity is my most important possession and to hear it called into question both hurts and angers me. I shall now carefully consider what action to take in respect of the scurrilous accusations that have been made against me."
He questioned Mr Blunkett's role and said, "politicians should avoid looking for scapegoats when faced with the consequences of fighting crime."
"I hope he realizes that if he wants us to be firm in our fight against drugs then officers will have to make decisions that may have unfortunate consequences. It is essential in these circumstances that these officers are supported, providing they have acted with integrity themselves."
It's a shame that Whitehouse's time in office ended in such disgrace, though allegations of cover-up and misconduct were also levelled against him and Sussex police, following the murder of 19 year old Katrina Taylor in 1996, and accused of ignoring corruption in Wealden District Council.

Who is Mark Slade, aka Marcel Sulc.
Extract taken from 'New Evidence in the 1996 Katrina Taylor Murder'….
The Fifth Man
The fifth man is an alleged crime lord called Mark Slade, aka Marcel Sulc.
Simon Williams worked for Mark Slade by managing the post, deliveries and pick ups, from the property of 318 South Coast road, Peacehaven.
If David Neilson was called to give evidence, the jury would have heard that Mark Slade's gang were using the flat above Mr Neilson, Top Flat, 318 Southcoast road, Peacehaven, East Sussex, for varying types of criminal activities from credit fraud and drugs.
According to Mr Neilson, Slade openly boasted of having a string of criminal convictions, including blackmail, deception, handling stolen goods, actual bodily hard, firearms, burglary and drug dealing.
Simon Williams worked for Slade as the 'pick up man', signing for goods delivered, and for answering the telephone.
Sussex Police have a history of targeting the elderly. If it isn't a case of criminals dressing up as Sussex Police officers (of which they can buy the uniform from the Sussex Police EBay shop,) and defrauding elderly victims on their door-steps, its a case of Sussex police targeting concerned pensioners, based on malicious allegations, lies and here-say.
John Hoath, has been convicted of sending emails, concerning serious police corruption.
David 'Joe' Neilson remains in hiding, too scared to return home because he fears he'll be killed by Sussex police.
Michael Coughtrey has spent years trying to bring justice to his brother, who was accused of attacking a police officer with a 7″ knife. The police lied…
John Paterson is awaiting trial in Chelmsford prison, based on the lies of an alleged satanic cult leader.
Edward Ellis is being hounded for helping people find justice in the British courts.
On the 15 January 2015, Joe was attacked at his home at 318a SouthCoast Road, Peacehaven. Joe recalls, that if it wasn't for me coming to his rescue, he would have been killed on his door-step.
Joe called for the police, who turned up within minutes, spent 15 minutes laughing and joking with Joe's attackers, before eventually knocking on Joe's door, and arresting both him and I for attacking them!
Prospective MP angry over arrest – The Argus dated 21 January 2015, written by Rachel Millard
www.theargus.co.uk/news/11738473.prospective-mp-angry-over-arrest/
This isn't the first time Joe has been attacked at his home.
DISABLED O.A.P BEATEN UP AND LEFT FOR DEAD
READ MORE: http://guerrillademocracy.blogspot.com/2013/10/disabled-pensioner-murder-witness.html
Joe battered & bruised
"I heard a noise at the back of my flat and thought I had left my caravan unlocked. Going out I found it was locked, but I unlocked it to see where the noise had come from. Just as I opened the door I heard a noise behind me, as I turned around I was struck in the right eye three times blinding me. He punched me to my body before falling into my caravan. I was I think semi conscious. The man said "that's from Brotherton don't waste your time calling the police". I must have passed out."
"TOO FRIGHTENED TO CALL THE POLICE"
"I don't know for how long I made it back in to my flat which I had left unlocked. Getting inside I collapsed on my bed, coming to around about 2 am. I had wet and crapped myself. I was in extreme pain and too frightened to call the Police. I did the best with my eye which was still bleeding then cleaned myself up taking pain killers and sleeping tablets I went back to bed."
The new 1.8m high fence in question as pictured above, is the latest in a long line of incidents which abuse Mr. David Neilson's human rights and further excludes and hides him from public life.
Against all planning permission and against his consent, a 1.8m high wooden fence was erected, for what can only be surmised, is to cover up the information of police corruption which Mr. David Neilson had put up on his property.
"Coming to later that day I found a cut on my back and both knees where cut, the sight in my eye was OK. Looking back I believe the blows to this eye were done to blind me. The man was hidden behind the new fence."
Who is Brotherton?
Who are the 'Dark Forces' at work in Sussex? Who would attack a disabled old aged pensioner?
The usual suspects are either Sussex Police or contractors attached to Sussex Police. Joe alleges that Sussex Police are in the pocket of a crime-lord called Mark Slade, based in Hastings but now thought to be somewhere in Bulgaria.
Mark Slade operated a number of security companies which acted as a front for drug dealing, credit fraud, theft and a variety of other serious crimes. Alarm bells should have sounded when looking at the names he used for his companies. Names such as Grim Limited, Grab-It Limited, Pure Profit Limited, Deadly Limited And F.U. Bigot Limited.
His crimes were so unique Parliament had to change the Laws to stop him. An amendment to the Theft Act 1968, was made in 1996 to outlaw the offence of 'Obtaining a money transfer by deception'. Essentially he seized property owned by other people, using legal means through British courts, by repossessing flats for non-payment of nominal ground rents – usually of only around £50. The legal owners were powerless to stop him and Mark Slade went on to amass a multi-million pound fortune by repeating his scam on thousands of victims.
The Guardian newspaper reported on this and can be read further here.
This is not the first time Joe has been attacked by members of Mark Slade's gang. After the murder of Katrina Taylor, he was attacked in-side his flat, but bizarrely, Sussex Police arrested him instead of the thugs who attacked him. (As what happened again in 15 January 2015.) This sums up everything Joe has been through. This vicious attack is the latest in a long line of attacks and if it wasn't for a higher power protecting him, (His Guardian Angel), Joe would be dead now.
Let these words sink in; Joe is too scared to return home because he fears he'll be killed by Sussex Police.
No wonder their current Chief Constable, Giles York, is standing down in shame.

Conker crazy Sussex Police Chief Constable Giles York, has announced he is standing down as the UK's most senior policeman, amid rumours of an impending scandal set to hit the already scandal battered police force.
Having presided over a police force with the lowest moral in it's history, Giles York is cruelly being compared to the chief rat, fleeing a sinking ship.

Failed leadership
Giles York – Santa or Satan
Having been criticized for his lack of leadership by retired police officers and the mainstream media, Giles York was appointed Chief Constable in 2014, taking over from his predecessor, Martin Richards.
Chief Constable Giles York has not shown leadership.
Retired Sussex police Detective Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore, has slammed Sussex police Chief Constable Giles York, by calling his leadership into question.
"Sussex Police lacks direction."
"They don't have their priorities straight."
He singled York out for criticism, saying "he had not shown leadership."
Under fire after a series of gaffs, Chief Constable York is cracking under the pressure, evident by his refusal to face the public.

R.I.P Shana Grice
With blood on his hands, following the murder of 19 year old Shana Grice, who appealed for help from Sussex Police, only to be given a penalty notice for wasting police time; Giles York has been widely ridiculed for hiding from serious questions, while embracing positive publicity with enthusiasm and zeal.

Following a spate of sex scandals during his time in charge, dozens of police officers have been exposed as sexual deviants, including paedophiles, rapists, prostitutes and perverts.
Leaving the force open to blackmail and extortion from organized crime, members of the public, are rightly saying that he should have been sacked along-time ago, rather than be allowed to retired early and receive his attractive police pension.

To hiding an alien satanic sex cult within his ranks.

Famously quoted as saying he hasn't got a problem with the public knowing how much he gets paid, but adverse to what he spends his wage on, Giles York explains his decision to stand down was "not an easy one."
He said, "My decision to leave the service has not been an easy one and follows much soul searching with my family – there are so many compelling reasons to stay.
However, anyone in policing will know that the impact of this job on you and your family cannot be underestimated."
As to how the job has impacted on his family remaining a mystery, Giles York started his police service in Maidstone with Kent Police in 1990 and was promoted through a number of operational areas, leaving as head of Special Branch in 2004.
Said to be "extremely ambitious," by his predecessor Martin Richards, York first became an assistant chief constable with South Wales Police in 2005, where he was the lead for local policing, operational policing and crime, while also leading the Welsh Counter Terrorism and Serious and Organised Crime teams, Tarian.
Self-praising, York said, "It has been an absolute privilege to have been a police officer for more than 30 years, to have worked with so many fantastic, hard-working, loyal and selfless people – and an honour to have protected and served the public.
I have been lucky enough to have enjoyed a career that has been as rewarding as it has been challenging – from beat officer to the most senior detective in charge of policing the ports in Kent, to the operational world of counter-terrorism and serious organised crime in South Wales.
As a chief officer for the past 11 years, I have led Sussex Police through what has been one of the most extraordinary and difficult periods in policing history.
During that time, I am proud to have cultivated an increasingly diverse organisation that begins to reflect the communities we serve."
Criticized for his force's treatment of vulnerable victims of crime, York has come under sustained pressure by ex Royal Military Policeman, Matt Taylor, as to how his force was fooled by an alleged satanic cult leader.

Sussex Police Hall of Shame
PC Alexander Walsh
A police officer awaiting sentencing for common assault and stalking a woman has been dismissed from Sussex Police.
Brighton-based PC Alexander Walsh, 33, of St Michael's Place, Brighton, admitted the charges at Portsmouth Crown Court earlier this month.
Two counts of gross misconduct in respect of discreditable conduct were found against him during a hearing at Sussex Police headquarters last Friday.
He was dismissed without notice, and is due to be sentenced on 12 October.
He pleaded guilty to common assault and stalking without fear, alarm or distress on 5 September.
Det Supt Steve Boniface, head of Sussex Police's professional standards department, said: "This officer's behaviour was a violation of the trust that the public put in the police to serve and protect them."

a personal opinion of a particular individual – "I'm furious with Sussex Police"
I'm so furious with the management of Sussex police that they should allow the morale of their police force to hit a 90% low.
Its a clear dereliction of duty on the part of the bosses responsible for the well-being and mental health of their work-force.
There is no excuse and heads must roll. Allowing your work-force hit a 90% dissatisfaction level demonstrates bad leadership.
Something has broken at the top of Sussex police and its time for a change.
Sussex police is a train wreck and everyone wants off.
We now know that behind all the public smiles of satisfaction, competence and hope; Sussex police officers were turning to pornography to alleviate the horrors of anxiety, low morale and stress.
Sussex police bosses have failed their rank and file
Smiles in front of the camera, anxiety, stress and despair behind the scenes
Sussex police have failed their rank and file
Sheva Burton – Honey Trap
Sussex Police are wide open to Organised Crime Blackmail and Extortion
As an ex-Royal Military Policeman myself, I appreciate the hard work and service to the country, our police officers give on a daily basis.
There is no greater responsibility in being tasked with serving and protecting the public.
Shame on Giles York for failing his rank and file.

Celebrating 50 years of Sussex Police, lets take a look back at their Chief Constables and their extraordinary stories.
Henry Soloman
While in 1968, Brighton police amalgamated with East Sussex Constabulary, West Sussex Constabulary, Hastings and Eastbourne Constabularies, to form the Sussex Police Constabulary we know today; their very first Chief Constable, a certain Henry Soloman, maintains the privileged position as being the only serving Chief Constable in British history to be murdered by a prisoner.
Regarded as a extremely gifted man; and well respected to have earned the position of Chief Constable in light of his Jewish background; (which back in the mid-19th century was more of a hindrance rather than a positive); Henry Soloman was murdered by a 23 year old man called John Lawrence.
John Lawrence was a petty crook who familiarized himself with the underbelly of Brighton's life, rubbing shoulders with a thieves and living off the proceeds of a well known Brighton prostitute called Hastings Bet.
The events which lead to Soloman's murder kicked off with the arrest of Lawrence for stealing a carpet from a shop in St James Street, with the intention of selling it on to secure the funds for a drink down the pub.
The story goes that the night before, Lawrence and his friends had been out drinking and the following morning needed a drink, hence the robbery.
Lawrence was arrested and brought to Brighton's police station to be interviewed by Soloman himself. It was whilst waiting for the appropriate witness to arrive and identify him, Lawrence was told to sit in a chair by the fire.
Believing Lawrence to be of no discernable threat, Soloman walked past Lawrence, who unexpectedly reached out for a poker, resting beside a nearby fireplace, and struck Solomon across the back of the head.
Solomon fell to the floor with a fractured skull from which he was never to recover. No reason for Lawrence's action was ever established and ironically the witness to his earlier crime failed to identify him.
With genuine and sincere grief over his death, huge crowds turned out for Henry's funeral. Testimony to Soloman's popularity, a public collection around town raised a whopping £500. Even Queen Victoria donated £50, as did the Duke of Richmond who donated £30 and the local Jewish community £52.
Ultimately a little over £1,000 was raised for his wife and children, and Soloman was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Ditchling Road.
Lawrence was tried at Lewes, found guilty and executed in Horsham prison all within three weeks. His trial barely took three hours and the jury only twelve minutes to find him guilty. Around a couple of thousand people watched his hanging and he was buried within the prison grounds.
As the last person to be executed at the Horsham prison, Lawrence became a bit of a celebrity, so they dug him up and put his body on display in the stable of the nearby Queens Head and charged punters 2d to view him.
As such, Henry Soloman is best remembered for having the dubious distinction of being the only Chief Constable to be killed whilst in office in 1844.
Now I bet you never knew that!
Thomas Williams – 1968-1972
And now on-wards to the Chief Constables (CC) of Sussex police since 1968; kicking off with Thomas Williams, Chief Constable from 1968, until his death in 1972.
Sadly history hasn't recorded the exploits of Thomas Williams, which means we move swiftly onto George Terry, Sussex CC from 1973 to 1983.
George Terry – 1973-1983
With a claim to fame as being one of the youngest CC in English history, George Terry was first CC of Pembrokeshire Police in 1958, at the age of 35, before going onto be CC of East Sussex, Lincolnshire and ultimately Sussex CC in 1973.
Jointly with his successor Roger Birch, Terry served 10 years as CC from 1973 to 1983, and was most memorably remembered for implementing a range of modernizing reforms, including:
⦁ Improving communication systems
⦁ Introducing motor scooters for women police officers
⦁ Introducing reflective strips on the side of police cars
⦁ Introduce more comfortable uniforms for women officers
⦁ Opening a computerized command centre
⦁ Reforming the command structure
An expert on traffic management and Chairman of the Traffic Committee (1976–79), Terry was also President of the Association of Chief Police Officers for the year 1980–81.
As with CC's yet to come, Terry courted controversy, when as chairman of Polygraph Security Services, the British company offering lie detector tests, he famously refused to submit a list of his clients to the House of Commons Employment Select Committee, who had asked him to submit a list of clients to them for investigation.
Citing privacy concerns, Terry was in danger of being reported to the Commons for contempt if he continued to refuse, but resigned from the post in July 1984 to avert such action ever happening.
In 1967, Terry was awarded the Queen's Police Medal (QPM). Many Sussex CC's would also be awarded the QPM; and he was further decorated by Queen Elizabeth II, with his appointment as Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1976 and knighthood in 1982.
Terry died on 18 August 1995, and was recorded by the Telegraph newspaper as, "one of the most respected policemen of his generation … a tall, handsome man of enormous vitality, he rejuvenated each command with ruthless perfectionism, and won a reputation as an outstanding innovator".
After which we move swiftly onto Roger Birch.
Roger Birch
After only a year in his post, Roger Birch was the CC responsible for managing the aftermath of the 1984 IRA bombing of Brighton's Grand Hotel, which of course you will know, killed five people, injured dozens more and nearly killed the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
A huge challenge for any CC, Birch rose to the task of coordinating a huge police and emergency service operation, taking charge of an investigation which shocked the world.
Tasked with keeping the conference going and the countries reputation intact, Birch, who would later become Sir Roger Birch, led a minutely detailed and intensive investigation into the murder and mayhem caused by the bombing, which would eventually lead to the conviction of Provisional IRA activist Patrick Magee.
Paul Whitehouse
Kenneth Lloyd Jones – 2001-2006
Considered by many as the best CC Sussex Police has ever had, Kenneth (Ken) Lloyd Jones, was the man left responsible for sorting out the mess left by his predecessor, Mr Whitehouse.
Awarded the Queen's Police Medal in 2000 and knighted in 2009, Sir Ken Lloyd Jones, first found leadership as the Deputy Commissioner of Victoria Police in Australia.
Coming to the UK, he served in a number of cities including Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster gaining experience with community beat duties, specialist detective work and the use of firearms.
Gaining a reputation as an 'honest cop,' he gained further experience abroad working as an anti corruption investigator in Hong Kong and as an election monitor in Zimbabwe.
Sir Ken also served in Africa (Zimbabwe-Rhodesia), the United States (as a Fulbright Scholar at UCLA in 1996) and Hong Kong (in the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)). He was appointed Assistant Chief Constable of the Avon and Somerset Constabulary in 1997 and ultimately become Sussex CC in 2001.
Though even an honest cop isn't immune from controversy and scandal. After leaving Sussex Police in 2006, Sir Ken would later go back to Australia and serve in the Victoria Police Force, where he became the subject of death threats.
This signaled the start of the complicated relationship at the top of Victoria Police concerning the integrity of the presentation of crime statistics to the public.
An investigation by the Office of Police Integrity in Victoria police, would later conclude that Sir Ken did not engage in serious misconduct by leaking or facilitating leaking to the media of confidential police information, and was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing during his time at Victoria Police Force.
Joseph Edwards
Joseph Edwards joined Sussex Police in 2002 as deputy chief constable and took on the top job in February 2006.
The third Sussex CC to be awarded the Queen's Police Medal in the New Year Honours List, Edwards was praised by Peter Jones, the Chairman of the now defunct Sussex Police Authority, as responsible for increasing public confidence in Sussex police to record levels.
Jones is quoted to have said, "Joe will be a hard act to follow and we are all very sorry to see him go."
He joined Hampshire Constabulary as a PC in 1980, where he rose through the ranks to Chief Superintendent. He was divisional commander at Havant from 1994 to 1997.
He moved to Essex on promotion to Assistant Chief Constable in 1999, where he was involved in two high-profile policing operations – the Korean air crash of 1999 and a hijacking in 2000.
Lasting as the CC for only a year, we move swiftly onto Martin Richards; also a recipient of the Queen's Medal.
Martin Richards
Possibly the most controversial CC Sussex police has ever had, Martin Richards would later go onto retire early, having just had his contract extended by a year.
According to Wikipedia, Richards joined Warwickshire Police in 1982, where he was stationed across a range of geographical areas in numerous roles. His command positions included District Commander at Nuneaton, Head of Communications, Performance Review Manager, and a short period as Head of CID. He also served for two years in National Police Training as Head of Recruit Training Center at Ryton-on-Dunsmore.
After obtaining his Criminology degree, Richards was promoted to Assistant Chief Constable at Avon and Somerset Constabulary in 1998. He was promoted to Deputy Chief Constable in 2002.
Richards was appointed Chief Constable of the Wiltshire Police in September 2004. While he was Chief Constable, he oversaw "Optimus", a 12-month program of modernization and reform within the Force, as well as a collaborative project involving all five Forces within the South West region.
CC of Sussex police from 2008 to 2014, it was revealed via a Freedom of Information request that in the last year of his office, he was investigated for misconduct for a total of 14 times. All 14 cases were found to 'unsubstantiated' and no action was taken.
Richards was also investigated by the then Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) for using undue influence regarding an operational policing issue.
He was later found to have no case to answer, after an anonymous allegation was made against him following a referral from the now defunct, Sussex Police Authority.
Richards appeared to have as many detractors as he had supporters. For example, according to 'The Captain Swing Journal' he was "Overpaid and overdue for the chop."
Captain Swing continues, "He's a man that has not done a day's proper policing work in his whole career. He started as a graduate recruit and went straight into senior positions with Warwickshire Police , within twelve years he became CC of Wiltshire and lucky old Sussex was next in line for his common purpose improvement by destruction method of running a Police service."
In the video below we hear from a popular blogger called 'Sam', who calls attention his connection with 'Common Purpose', an otherwise inconspicuous organization who run courses which give people the skills, connections and inspiration to become better leaders both at work and in society.
Last but not least, the present CC of Sussex, the cracking fellow, Giles York.
Giles York – 2014 – Present
Giles York
A keen conker player and the fifth CC to be awarded the Queen's Medal in her New Year's Honour List, Giles York has recently hit the headlines following the drone fiasco of Christmas 2018, which brought Gatwick airport to standstill, leaving a whopping 140,000 holidaymakers inconvenienced across the busy Christmas period.
Accused of dodging the tough questions by the Daily Mail newspaper, York has been accused of ducking the press when his force is in trouble, but courting publicity for positive PR stories including police donations to charity, Brighton's Gay Pride and sponsorship of a large statue of a cartoon dog in Brighton.
⦁ From playing Santa to CONKERS! How police chief who was under fire over Gatwick drone chaos has history of dodging tough questions (but is happy to pose for positive PR shots)
⦁ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6535145/Police-chief-fire-Gatwick-drone-crisis-history-dodging-tough-questions.html?fbclid=IwAR2rSmVji5oEMEexF0CBzr1upDnzqnOA4OZuebDNnEDdgasGJ6V5f88PSSM
York was famously once heard saying, that while he is happy to reveal how much he earns as CC (£196,000 a year,) he isn't prepared to reveal what he spends his money on.
Leaving many to speculate as to whether he has a secret hobby he doesn't want anyone to know about, York is seen as a popular leader, well liked by his rank and file.
And so there you have it; a look back to the CC who have occupied the top seat at Sussex Police.
Celebrating 50 years of Sussex Police, we can only look on with enthusiasm and wonder, what the next 50 years will bring.

SUSSEX POLICE ARE WIDE OPEN TO ORGANISED CRIME BLACKMAIL AND EXTORTION.
a_particular_individual Sussex Police 14 Comments January 29, 2019 July 13, 2019 12 Minutes
According to Police in Scotland, officers have received a number of reports from members of the public who have become victims of online fraudsters.
They warn that victims are being targeted by scammers who record intimate pictures and videos during conversations on various social media platforms.
The victims are coerced into removing clothing prior to being recorded, and are then threatened with exposure via their own social media accounts unless large sums of money are sent to the suspects.
Reports of online extortion scam prompts warning from Police Scotland
https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-news/reports-online-extortion-scam-prompts-15270862
While Scottish Police warn against the perils of extortion scams; doesn't that mean Sussex Police itself have been prime targets for organised crime extortion, taking advantage of the sexual perversions rampant within their ranks.
I mean; I don't want to cause alarm or distress to Giles York, especially now being under pressure to resign, following the Gatwick drone fiasco, but, all you need to do is a Google search to reveal the many sex scandals to hit Sussex Police in recent years.
December 2018 PC Daniel Barnes Child porn
April 2018 Det Con Richard Holder Selling sex while on sick
October 2018 Inspector Tony Lumb Sex with vulnerable women
October 2018 PC Alexander Walsh PC Stalker, hassling colleagues for sex, child porn
March 2018 PC Martin Harris Sex on duty
June 2018 DC Celia MacDonald Failing to investigate child-abuse claims
April 2016 PC Luke Smith Filmed himself having sex with whores in uniform
March 2017 Chief Insp Rob Leet Sex on duty
March 2017 Sergeant Sarah Porter Sex on duty
December 2016 PC Daniel Moss Advertising for sex while off duty on sick
September 2011 Sgt Philip Savidge Child porn
December 2015 Inspector Lee Lyons General pimp, addicted to sex with prostitutes
Does this show that Sussex Police have been prime targets of organised crime extortion since September 2011, when Sergeant Philip Savidge was downloading child porn while his colleagues weren't looking, up to December 2015, when station pimp, inspector Lee Lyons, once made 23 calls to 11 prostitutes in one hour.
Sussex Police have had a problem with sexual perversion for decades and as such, have been wide open to organised blackmail and extortion.
THE FIFTH MAN IN THE KATRINA TAYLOR MURDER COVER-UP
This unfortunately relates to the unsolved murder of Katrina Taylor in 1996; who's story was recently read by over a thousand readers, on the TaylorInvestigations.wordpress.com website.
The Katrina Taylor Murder is being erased from history.
The fact that the FIFTH MAN in the Katrina Taylor murder trial WASN'T investigated by Sussex Police, points to an organised Crime Syndicate blackmailing paedophiles, sex addicts and stalkers, within Sussex police ranks.
SUSSEX POLICE DEFEND THEIR EX SERVING PAEDOPHILE OFFICER
DANIEL BARNES, 40 years old, downloaded child porn while he worked as a Sussex police officer.
Sussex Police defended the convicted paedophile by reassuring the public that no children were harmed or suffered as a result of their ex officer's sexual perversion.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "The images are all understood to have come from the internet and there is nothing to suggest that there is any risk to local children."

Giles York at Gay Pride
Under fire Chief Constable of Sussex Police, Giles York, once famously remarked that while he believes it's absolutely right and proper that, as a Civil Servant, he should be obliged to confess how much he's paid, he's not obliged to tell anyone, what he spends his money on.
I've always found that remark, to be remarkably remarkable.
Doesn't it go back to the aged old reasoning which allowed the Bobby on the street to strip search you if he had to; that if you had nothing to hide, why hide.
Giles York is evidently hiding what he spends his money on, which then begs the question; what is it he's spending his money on, that he doesn't want anyone else to know about?

San Joaquin Debt Forgiven
Executive Council unanimously passed a resolution forgiving nearly $6 million in loans and interest owed by the Diocese of San Joaquin.
One council member said the diocese "bore a disproportionate burden of the disputes" on sexuality and doctrine and the departure of bishops in San Joaquin and four other dioceses in the past decade.
"When a single diocese bears a disproportionate burden, you don't then send them the bill," said Russell Randle of the Diocese of Virginia, who was part of the council team that negotiated with San Joaquin in the past eight months. Some of the costs were driven by decisions made at the churchwide level, including efforts at reconciliation before turning to litigation.
As TLC previously reported, the agreement calls for San Joaquin to pay the Episcopal Church $1 million by Dec. 31 and to begin paying its full 15 percent assessment in 2019. In exchange, the church will forgive the remainder of the debt ($5,875,000), which consisted of $6,175,000 in loans and about $700,000 in interest.
Randle told the council there are 21 viable congregations in the diocese, which has only two full-time priests. Most congregations are being served by part-time or retired priests. The diocese will be able to sell 25 buildings that it recovered in the litigation, but some of them have "big, unmet capital needs."
In the closing news conference, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry said the other dioceses affected by departing bishops and congregations — Fort Worth, Pittsburgh and South Carolina — are bigger and have other resources to draw on. "If we were to require the repayment of the full loan, … it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for that diocese to really come alive again," Curry said.
The Rt. Rev. Edward Konieczny, Bishop of Oklahoma, also took part in the negotiations.
"The Bishop of San Joaquin, David Rice, and the chancellor, Michael Glass, extend to you their most profound and greatest thanksgivings for the work that you've done" and for the council's support, Konieczny told council members.

"Colin! I love your website and I have a couple of questions..."
Anyhow - Question one is generally: "Man, you must have the greatest espresso machine set up at your home! What do you use?"
"Hey, thanks for the kind words...but."
When I am not testing espresso machines for EspressoTec.com in Vancouver, or Wholelattelove.com out of New York or one of the many proud sponsors of this website, I generally do not go near espresso coffee - at least in my kitchen.
Well. I have a million reasons and I am going to list a few... with some of my rationale.
"Coffee is a journey, not a destination." I have repeated this a zillion times in the last 20 years plus. And for some of my readers it is starting to sink in.
Then again, sometimes I get a blank stare.
For clarity: An example of a single origin bean would be "Ethiopian Sidamo". An example of an espresso blend could be "Two Old Goats" blend, which might contain Nicaraguan Selva Negra, Mexico Malinal, Jamaica Blue Mountain, some Kona and Sumatra Mandheling for good measure.
You see where I am going with this? No?
Ok then. A single origin coffee brewed in some of the alternative methods that I have discussed provides a conduit to coffee nirvana that is less (but not always) complicated or confusing than messing with complex espresso blends.
But no one can hear you. Maybe your cat is looking at you now.
Anyway. My point is: Before dumping a wheel-barrow full of cash on a fancy-pants espresso set-up, why not start with the basics?
The basics: Whole bean coffee. Burr grinder. Filter or Press. And hot water.
I really feel that by jumping from your daily ritual of bad coffee directly to high-end espresso coffee, you are cheating yourself out of the journey. It is like driving from New York to L.A. without stopping to smell the flowers.
Another example: Some Ontario, Canada resident family members whose diet of coffee consisted of Folger's (pre-ground and pre-staled in the tin) from the semi-rural super-store begrudgingly yielded to my influence after our 5th or 6th semi-annual visit when we out and out refused to drink their acidic brew anymore. It took a while, but they discovered that there is a better beverage than Folger's at 9$ for a 2-pound tin! Bit by bit though. Baby steps.
Finally they relented - as we were packing to leave for Victoria they asked: "What do we need to make our life a bit better (and yours when [and if!] you guys return to Ontario again)?
Get a grinder! I offered. A Burr grinder. A simple burr grinder opens so many doors in your coffee journey. It is that one very important thing that changes everything... because that one single step from pre-ground to whole bean, ground just prior to brewing is one gigantic taste increment!
Food fact: Whole bean coffee is fresh and suitable for grinding and brewing upwards of 2 weeks out of the roaster. Oxygen is its enemy but roast coffee is built to protect itself for this duration. Coffee, once it is ground is totally vulnerable to the ravages of oxidation and staling within about 1/2 hour. Big difference huh!? So why would you ever buy pre-ground coffee? Sure, for convenience and all - but to sacrifice all that taste? Shame!
Ideally, the perfect grind for any one style of brewing is very uniform - this means that the water passing through the ground coffee carries away just enough of the desired flavor components.
Blade grinders are cheap and available everywhere - but the results can be dissappointing and encouraging at the same time. The limits of the blade grinder are realized early - but they also tease you with the possibilities!
Anyway - in this continuing series of articles, I am going to talk about how you can shape your coffee journey and pick up some useful knowledge along the way... and to enjoy yourself.
Colin Newell lives, works and writes in Victoria B.C. Canada - and considers coffee and tea wonderful beverages to wile away the hours with - but only if they are brewed right! Hence this website.

Amal Care is a Corporate social responsibility (CSR) program for Central Spectrum Sdn Bhd (CSSB) to develop a sense of caring and creates important values to the participated staff. It provides an understanding of the struggle and difficulties faced by the homeless people and how we can play our role to help them.
The 2018 Amal Care program enters a new chapter – changing its approach for better reach-out and assistance. Strongly supported by CSSB's Managing Director, Dato' Mahmud Abbas, CSSB's Amal Care team and NGO from Persatuan Penyayang Selangor; the group visits homeless people spots in Port Klang at 9.30pm on Sunday fortnightly. The team distributes basic necessities to the respective homeless people around that area.
In addition to the usual activity of the distributions of food, drinks, clothes and other needy items, the group brought together a team of Medical Officers (MO) to the ground and provided health checks for the homeless people. The new health check activity received an overwhelmed response from the homeless people as they queued to see the MOs. A quick treatment and health advice from the Medical team were provided during the session.
The team managed to meet and greet about 80 homeless people in a single spot program as it ended at 11.00pm.

Away from the Game
1955 Dodger World Championship is One for the Ages
Immediately following the last out in a thrilling seven-game 1955 World Series, as the Brooklyn Dodgers stunned the New York Yankees, broadcaster Vin Scully said on air, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the Champions of the World!"
When fans later queried him how could he have remained so calm and why didn't he say anything more than that, Scully added, "I couldn't have said another word because I would have broken down and cried."
After years of frustration and the stigma attached to losing five previous World Series to the New York Yankees, their fierce cross-town rivals, the Dodgers finally redeemed themselves and became "second-class" citizens no more.
Next year had finally arrived for the Brooklyn Dodgers of 1955.
Twenty-three year-old starting pitcher Johnny Podres is said to have declared to his teammates on the morning of Game 7 at Yankee Stadium, "Guys, just get me one run today." The plucky and prophetic Podres got two runs to work with, as it turned out, but only need the one he had asked for, as he pitched a complete game eight-hitter to blank the Yankees, 2-0, on October 4, 1955.
For longsuffering Dodger fans, it doesn't get any better than beating their perennial nemesis and their longtime magic carpet ride reached the apex. From the minute of the last out at 3:43 p.m., bedlam, block parties and wild celebrations carried on in Brooklyn through the night and into the early morning hours as revelers savored the sweetest moment in Dodger history – their first-ever World Championship in their 65-year history. Since their first appearance in 1916, the Dodgers had lost seven consecutive World Series.
It has been more than 60 years since the Dodgers' 1955 World Championship and the passage of time has taken its toll on this unforgettable team. Gone are the majority of the Dodger players who were such important members of the ballclub, including the entire infield of first baseman Gil Hodges, second baseman Jim Gilliam, shortstop Pee Wee Reese and third baseman Jackie Robinson. Legendary catcher Roy Campanella, who was the 1955 National League MVP, also passed away.
All of the starting outfielders have also passed, including Hall of Fame center fielder Duke Snider, left fielder Sandy Amoros and right fielder Carl Furillo. The pitching staff has also been diminished, as Joe Black, Podres, Clem Labine, Billy Loes, Jim Hughes, Karl Spooner, Russ Meyer and Don Bessent are departed, while Carl Erskine, Don Newcombe, Sandy Koufax, Roger Craig and Ed Roebuck cherish their memories.
In addition, another famous Dodger who treasures his time as a pitcher that season is Tommy Lasorda. The left-hander pitched in four games in 1955. He later managed the team for 20 seasons. Today, he is a Special Advisor to the Chairman of the Dodgers. On Sept. 22, 2017, Lasorda turned 90. Bob Borkowski, who played outfield in nine regular-season games when Snider was injured, passed away November 18, 2017 at age 91. Two former teammates passed away in 2014; infielder Don Zimmer and outfielder George "Shotgun" Shuba.
Manager Walter Alston died on October 1, 1984, while then Dodger President Walter O'Malley passed away on August 9, 1979. For O'Malley and Alston, both in the Baseball Hall of Fame, it was the first of four titles they would celebrate together, as the Dodgers later garnered World Championships in 1959, 1963 and 1965.
Coaches Chuck Dressen, Jake Pitler, Billy Herman and Joe Becker all passed. O'Malley always gave credit to his two right-hand Vice Presidents – E.J. "Buzzie" Bavasi, in charge of player personnel and Fresco Thompson, who oversaw the Dodger farm system. Bavasi, who passed away in 2008 at age 93, was the architect for the Dodger teams that won three National League pennants in five seasons (1952, 1953 and 1955) and finished second in 1951 and 1954.
But, what of this team? Why did 1955 produce different results than in past meetings with the Yankees which resulted in five consecutive World Series losses – 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952 and 1953?
For one reason, the talent-laden Dodgers answered April's season-opening bell by winning their first 10 straight games. They then amassed a 22-2 mark by May 10 and never looked back. Right-handed pitchers Carl Erskine (five wins) and Don Newcombe (four wins) were responsible for nine of those 22 Dodger victories. Campanella won his third N.L. MVP crown with his stellar season, as he batted .318 with 32 home runs and 107 RBI. In MVP balloting, however, Campy was challenged by teammate Snider, finishing just five points ahead (226-221) while they each received eight first-place votes. Snider's 136 RBI were tops in the National League, while his 42 home runs ranked fourth. The Dodgers led the N.L. in many offensive categories, including 201 home runs, 857 runs, .356 on-base percentage, 230 doubles and 674 walks.
Secondly, the Dodger pitching staff dominated the National League. The team's 3.68 earned run average was best in the N.L. and the pitching staff combined for a league-best 773 strikeouts. Big "Newk" was clutch for the Dodgers, winning his first 10 in a row before suffering his first loss on June 12. He won 20 games that season, while hitting .359 with seven home runs, a National League record for pitchers. A wild but strong left-hander named Sandy Koufax, the 19-year-old "bonus baby," pitched two scoreless innings in his June 24 debut.
Another factor was second-year Manager Alston's familiarity with his team and the National League, after the Dodgers' second-place finish in his inaugural 1954 season. In 1955, the Dodgers won 98 and lost 55 in breezing to the N.L. Pennant by a whopping 13 ½ games over the second-place Milwaukee Braves (85-69). Meanwhile, over in the American League, the Yankees pulled away from Cleveland, Chicago and Boston in September to win the A.L. Pennant. The Yankees finished with a 96-58 record and edged the second-place Indians by three games and third-place White Sox by five games in the standings.
When the Dodgers defeated the Braves, 10-2 in Milwaukee's County Stadium on September 8, they clinched the N.L. Pennant on the earliest date in league history, eclipsing their own 1953 mark. From August 27 to the day they captured the flag, the Dodgers caught fire, as they won 12 of 13 games.
In losing the first two World Series games at Yankee Stadium, the pattern which had been cut so many times before when the Dodgers fell to New York seemed to be repeating. The Yankees edged the Dodgers 6-5 in Game 1, as Joe Collins blasted two home runs. In Game 2, pitcher Tommy Byrne five-hit the Dodgers and also knocked in two runs in a four-run fourth to give the Yankees a 4-2 win.
When the scene shifted for Game 3 in Brooklyn, however, the Dodgers found more offense, as they had four two-run innings and won 8-3. Birthday boy Podres went the distance in Game 3, limiting the Yankees to seven hits. Campanella homered for the Dodgers, who pounded out 11 hits. The Dodgers evened the World Series in Game 4 with an 8-5 win. Campanella, Hodges and Snider drove in six of the eight runs and Labine earned the victory in relief.
The Dodgers reversal of fortunes continued in Game 5, as they powered their way to 5-3 victory at Ebbets Field. Cuban-born Sandy Amoros put the Dodgers ahead 2-0 in the second inning with a two-run home run, while Snider drilled solo round trippers in the third and fifth innings to make it 4-1. The two blasts by Snider made him the only player to hit four home runs in two different World Series (in 1952 and 1955), eclipsing a record previously shared with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Roger Craig picked up the win, with help from reliever Labine. Bob Cerv and Yogi Berra homered for the Yankees.
Snider stepped on a sprinkler head at Yankee Stadium and had to come out of Game 6. The Dodgers managed four hits and only one run in that game. The Yankees scored five first-inning runs, including three on a Bill Skowron home run, to take a commanding lead which Whitey Ford made stand up in the 5-1 win to even the Series.
The shaping of Game 7 was purely fairy story material for the Dodgers. A crowd of 62,465 was in attendance at Yankee Stadium to root the Yankees on to a 17th World Series title. The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning on a RBI single by first baseman Hodges. He added a sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put the Dodgers in front 2-0 in support of Podres. Alston then tried to add to the Dodgers' lead as he used pinch-hitter Shuba for second baseman Don Zimmer. But Shuba grounded out to end the top of the sixth. That fateful move, though, set up the defensive alignment that changed the game and the Series.
The Yankees put the tying runs on base in the bottom of the sixth inning. Alston had inserted Amoros to play left field as a defensive replacement. Gilliam, who had been playing in left field, moved to second base. With Gil McDougald on first and Billy Martin at second, catcher Yogi Berra hit a twisting drive to left which appeared to be a sure extra-base hit. The left-handed Amoros, running full speed towards the foul line and stands, extended his right arm and barely caught the ball in his glove like a snow cone. Amoros then had the presence of mind to throw the ball back to cutoff man Reese, who was standing down the line behind third base. Reese, in turn, fired the ball to Hodges at first base to nail McDougald and complete an amazing double play.
That one play took the life out of the Yankees, while Dodger fans started believing that this could finally be their moment of glory. Confidences soaring, Podres remained calm and cool on the mound in the final three innings.
The historic final out was recorded when Elston Howard grounded to Dodger shortstop and team captain Reese. Although Reese threw the ball somewhat low and wide, steady first baseman Hodges, who had the largest hands on the club, was not going to miss the catch no matter where the ball was headed. He didn't and the Dodger celebration began. It was fitting that Reese, who had played in five previous World Series against the Yankees beginning in 1941, successfully made the last play.
It was the first time a team had lost the first two games and come back to win a seven-game Series. Thirty Dodgers each received a full-share of $9,768.21 for winning the World Championship. Jim Hughes, who was with the club earlier in the year, received a half share. Pitcher Lasorda, who was optioned on June 8 to make room for another left-handed hurler named Koufax, received a cash award of $1,000 for his four games. Outfielder Bob Borkowski (9 games) and pitcher Pete Wojey (never appeared but was on the roster) received lesser awards.
Alston, 43, was named National League Manager of the Year by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. He forever earned a special place in the hearts of Dodger fans by winning the World Series. "I'm the same manager," the strong but quiet skipper proclaimed. "I didn't run the club any differently this year than last year. Injuries hurt us in 1954, breaks helped us in 1955."New York Times, November 15, 1955
One columnist in The Sporting News was more generous in his opinion about Alston's performance in 1955. "The Dodgers are not the easiest club to handle; they are filled with varied temperaments, but Alston kept them all in check. His work through the season and in this (World) Series cannot be underestimated. He knew his men. Those who could, got the chance to deliver for him. Those who were reluctant were discarded. In the final game, with everything at stake and a bullpen full of candidates, he could have replaced Podres. But here he didn't change. Here he stayed with his man and the payoff was terrific.
"When Alston was hired two years ago, it was because Walter O'Malley believed he could guide the Dodgers not only to a pennant, but to a World's Series championship. O'Malley's confidence in his man was repaid in the final game of the Series. For this victory, Alston deserves as much credit as Podres and all the rest."Robert L. Burnes, The Sporting News, October 12, 1955
By mid-November, O'Malley and the Dodgers had received congratulatory letters and telegrams from 26 foreign nations, including King Faisal II of Iraq, who had visited Ebbets Field for his first baseball game in 1952 at the age of 17. The young monarch wrote, "Happy to know of your great success in the World Series. Wish you always well." O'Malley earned the plaudits of baseball as he was named 1955 Major League Executive of the Year by The Sporting News in its January 4, 1956 cover story.
This was the Brooklyn's finest hour and the pinnacle of success.
Hall of Fame broadcaster Scully, who retired after his 67th season with the Dodgers in 2016, once recalled: "In 1955, when the Dodgers won their only championship for Brooklyn, that was more than just a World Series victory. It was a crowning point for a Borough that had given its heart to the ballclub and had been disappointed so many times. I can remember when that game ended in Yankee Stadium. Suddenly, the Bronx was in a football mode. Fall had arrived. And we went through the Battery Tunnel and came out on the Brooklyn side and hallelujah it was like VE Day and VJ Day! I mean there was dancing in the streets, block parties, stores were closed. That really stays in your mind and in your heart as well."Vin Scully interview with Ben Platt, 1999

Supreme Court: To Pack or Not to Pack. That is the Question.
In News, Of Local (Quad Cities') Interest, Politics
When I heard the accusation about "stacking the court" from Pence (at the VP debate) it rang a bell with me from the book by William Dallek I am currently reading, "Franklin Delano Roosevelt: A Political Life." I knew that FDR had tried to "pack" the Supreme Court—-as Pence termed it. And FDR's effort failed. "The whole New Deal went up in smoke as a result of the Supreme Court fight," according to Dallek's excellent book. The fight opened a divide in the Democratic Party alienating Roosevelt from some former allies and also alienating some Republican allies, like his Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ickes.
As Dallek said in his book, "Roosevelt's effort to master the judiciary produced something of a pyrhhic victory. FDR's expenditure of so much political capital on the Court battle forced him to approach other Congressional disputes with uncharacteristic restraint. Advancing new liberal reforms became a distant hope. The Court controversy, one contemporary observer said, sidetracked 'much useful legislation that otherwise might have been put through.'"
FDR had a plan, which he tried to float as a way to alleviate the overloaded work schedule of the Court. His plan was to add 6 justices, one for every Justice who had served at least 10 years and failed to retire 6 months after turning 70. This would have allowed FDR to immediately appoint 6 new justices, bringing the total to 15. Although the exact number of Supreme Court Justices is not set by the Constitution, the number has been set at 9 since 1869.
FDR, in Fireside Chats (March 4 & 9, 1936) said "There is nothing novel or radical about this idea. It seeks to maintain the bench in full vigor." He was obviously feeling apprehensive about the move, but he made it——unsuccessfully—-anyway.
All sorts of rhymes sprang up. Here is just one: "Ancient judges sat in the hall, Ancient judges due for a fall. Our country's Great Leader thinks some younger men, would see that the court gave us justice again."
Although 60 to 65% of voters were willing to elect FDR to an unprecedented 3rd term, 50% of those same voters opposed the plan to change the court's make-up. "The issue touched off the worst congressional conflicts of his administration." As Dallek put it (p. 280), "As someone with a progressive temperament and an adaptive personality that enabled him to accept that changing times meant adopting fresh ways of thinking about old problems, Roosevelt was impatient with politicians who doggedly clung to the past."
So, things did not go well for one of the most famous Democratic presidents in history when he attempted to "pack the court."
I began to wonder WHY Pence would specifically attack Harris on this idea, since it seemed quite obvious that it is the GOP who are trying to "stack the courts" and have, indeed, probably succeeded with their recent nomination of an arch Conservative to fill Ruth Bader Ginsberg's seat. Did someone I didn't know about suggest that the Dems might want to change the make-up of the Supreme Court?
I asked this question of Google and the answer was that Eric Holder had mentioned it (former Attorney General under Obama), but that didn't mean the rest of the party had any plan or knew or approved of his remarks, whereas the GOP have been crowing about how many judges at all levels they have appointed and are attempting to appoint even now.
I began to wonder if and when there had been successful attempts to "pack the Supreme Court." The answer is that it has happened 7 times in history. The first 3 times centered around the political reaction to the Revolution of 1800. The Court was reduced in size at that time from 6 to 5 to prevent Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party from filling a vacancy as the Federalist Party left office. Once Jefferson was firmly in power, the size was moved back to 6 justices, then to 7, so that Jefferson could appoint new justices. Over the next 30 years, efforts to expand the Court were denied, but President Andrew Jackson gained enough power to add 2 new Justices in 1837.
Lincoln increased the size to 10 to prevent judicial attacks on his war policies. After Lincoln was assassinated, Congress reduced the size of the court to 8, to prevent Andrew Johnson (the new president) from harming Congress' Reconstruction efforts. Ulysses S. Grant added a justice to insure the overturning of a recent Court decision that invalidated the legal tender law that allowed the government to finance its war efforts.
Obviously, what one party does (the GOP right now) can be done by the opposing party when power shifts (tit for tat). At least, those attempts can be made. In FDR's case, the attempt was made at a time when he was in his 2nd term and riding high, but his move still failed in 1936.
So, that is the history, in a nutshell, of the attempts to expand the Supreme Court.

REDMONDISM REVISITED by Donal Kennedy
By Jude Collins on July 31, 2017
I've written before on John Redmond's 1913 St Patrick Day's speech (JOHN REDMOND'S AMBITION FOR IRELAND) to a British audience and to an interview he had with C.P.Scott of the Manchester Guardian that same year. The August Destiny he envisaged for Irishmen was as storm troopers for the British Empire, and for Irishwomen everlasting disenfranchisement whilst they kept the home fires burning and demurely sewed socks for soldiers. I quoted his London speech from Roger Casement's authenticated writings on Britain's War. against German grouped under the titles THE CRIME AGAINST EUROPE and THE CRIME AGAINST IRELAND.I quoted the Political Diaries of C.P. Scott showing that Redmond expected Irish women not to engage in public life, and to find fulfilment in the roles free Athenians saw fit for idiots.I was shocked to discover his low ambitions, for had not he and his parity not shared platforms with unrepentant Fenians such as those who smashed the prison van in Manchester and the dynamitard O'Donovan Rossa ,when collecting funds in the United States. Had not Redmond and his fellow MPs made sure to be seen at commemorations of the 1798 Rising and the Centenary of Emmet's Rising of 1803.
I thought that age had weakened and confused a once upstanding and principled patriot But I was mistaken. I recently was perusing "GREAT IRISH SPEECHES" an anthology byRichard Aldous with a Foreword by Colm Toibin. All of the speeches are of historic interest and some of them are truly great. Others, such as John A Costello's 1934 Dáil defence of the Blue-shirts, are an embarrassment, coming as it did from a learned sophisticated jurist.
But the young John Redmond in the Home Rule Debates in 1886 was already an imperialist to the marrow of his bones- "Speaking as a Nationalist, I do not regard as entirely palatable that forever and a day Ireland's voice should be excluded from the councils of an empire which the genius and valour of her sons have done so much to build up and of which she is to remain.".
On a visit to Cork with my father in 1957 we walked along the banks of the Lee by Blackrock Castle and he told me that I'm 1914 he had heard Willie Redmond, brother of John, speaking in support of Home Rule. Willie Redmond, who was killed serving as a Major in the British Army some three years later was an MP. He spoke – "From an Imperial Point of View", which he obviously shared, and my 15 year old father recalled the words of Henry Grattan – "Perish the Empire, Live. Ireland." Imperial Home Rule perished with Major Willie Redmond, as his party's chosen standard bearer in his late constituency of East Clare was trounced by Eamon de Valera, on a separatist Republican ticket, and it was buried by a landslide in 1918 in the General Election. Professor Fitzpatrick of Trinity College Dublin and his ludicrous cronies would deny these truths. Perhaps Professor Eunan O'Halpin could borrow a JCB to look for the skeleton of that buried political abortion while Eoin Harris, Kevin Myers and Ruth Dudley Edwards spread muck all over the historical record.
