Bates now claims that he is “aware (and will prove) that those images had been “exhaustively” examined (unlawfully) by Avon and Somerset police in September 2008 and were identified as being within active and archived case”. Therefore, he goes on, Mr Port has either been “seriously misled by his own officers”, or presented a misleading and “emotive story for public consumption”. read full story / add a comment

Bates: "The evidence I have collected over the six years since I first became involved in Operation ORE is extremely sensitive and undoubtedly includes information that the police (particularly CEOP) would prefer not to see revealed.

This article, written by Farroq Siddique of Bristol Muslim Cultural Society on 19th December 2008, was then re-written at the editor's request, for Christmas week Bristol Muslim column. Both versions have been censored by the editors, lawyer and management at the Bristol Evening Post citing material as being POTENTIALLY libellous. No column appeared that week. Lloyds TSB, one of the most dubious and highly secretive financial institutions responsible for the present and increasing economic catastrophe are being protected, and a demonised minority faith group censored. Utterly shameful IMO particularly in the light of today's announcement on Radio 4 10 o'clock news that Israeli forces have been herding Palestinians into 'safe buildings' then shelling them there. read full story / add a comment
