Since running for the office of Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner I have opened my ears and listened to what people have to say.

Other than discovering that no one is aware of the November 15th Elections across the nation, I have heard a lot about police corruption.

Cover-ups, wrongful arrests, ill treatments, criminal partnerships, Masonic handshakes and satanic connections; the list goes on and on.

Law-abiding people who have had foul smelling materials dumped on them from a great height, only to be ridiculed, ignored and maltreated when they stand above the parapets to high-light their grievances.

These men and women are heroes in my opinion. They haven't looked for trouble but instead have had trouble come to them. Each one has a story to tell and evidence in abundance to validate their claims. Each would claim that Sussex police is riddled with corruption. And on the basis of what I've learned, I would have to agree.

On the surface many people dismiss these examples as little details. But isn't it true that someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.

If the police lie about a mentally ill man being stabbed with an 8” kitchen knife, they are just as likely to lie about a secret death squad operating in the Sussex county.

'Ridiculous' I hear you say. 'Not so,' I'm afraid to say and you should be too...

Scratch the surface and you will come across such websites as www.brightonscandal.org.uk,  http://www.hmcourts-service.com/, and  http://www.hrs.1hwy.com/.

Each set out in clear and precise language many examples of police corruption, naming the persons involved. As of yet no legal actions have been brought against these persons which implies they aren't doing so because they can't disprove the allegations against them.

In answer to this, the persons named maintain their silence with the customary response of 'No Comment.'

Whoever is voted as Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex will have to address these allegations. It’s acknowledged that the duties of the role are to act as the bridge between the community and the Chief Constable. To deal with the public’s complaints and if need be, sack the Chief Constable if the need arises.

In these times of strife and change for the public and the police, any Sussex Police Commissioner must stand fast and protect the community from criminal actions of the police, whilst at the same time supporting the many excellent officers of whom we are justly proud.

It is with this in mind, I am standing as the Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex on an anti-corruption platform. The corruption of any public body is an affront to law-abiding citizens and the corruption of the police is even more perverse and deplorable.

If I don't win, someone less scrupulous than me will....
