Sandy's Superstars court case

[goldwing1]

It's **still** in the by-laws of Blackpool (apparently) that Hackney Carriages should carry a bale of hay

It was in the national legislation, it was finally removed from the law books in 1976.

Court case was front page news in the Daily Post today in North Wales given that thy lived in Corwen.

Carvath must be wetting himself the cunt, he was taking pics of punters and posting them online going in or out of Sandys. I assume he is the "journo" mentioned, I did read his open letter to GMP some years ago published on his blog saying he was working with a local neighbourhood group near 1 of Sandys brothels.

And yet it is interesting that apart from a brief update to his blog in Dec 2016, a month after Sandy's was raided, he is not apparently rejoicing and is remarkably quiet on the subject? Probably because he knows his campaign had little to do with the decision to close and prosecute.

Campaigns against Sandy’s go back over a decade without success External Link/Members Only

Richard Carvath’s lengthy campaign against both the parlour and GMP and which included freedom of information requests and complaints to IPCC, ended in failure in 2014. A more level headed individual may well have succeeded, after all, much of his ramblings were legally valid.
 
However his time has gone and he has moved on to pastures new and equally as strange.

Perhaps much more powerful forces than dear old Richard are at play here?

This was scheduled to be a ten week trial with serious money laundering charges against multiple individuals. Potential large yields for the public purse? About a week into the trial we are told that "following legal arguments" all charges are dropped bar the brothel keeping against just four of the accused. Guilty pleas entered. No jury needed and simple sentencing follows. POCA recovery seems small in relation to turnover?  … but we don’t know what deal was done and more importantly why?

One hell of a turnaround? A cock up maybe .. or the defence had a trump card?
So now the Police and CPS need to reconcile why closure and prosecution finally occurred in light of the now well published terms of the Police Tolerance Policy and lucky old Richard gets the credit … thus killing two birds with one stone should someone more rational than him ever reproduce his ‘investigative journalism’.

If this was in fact all HMRC driven, then blaming local campaigns acquits them of responsibility for closing down a multi million pound business to little avail and which it seems was actually paying a considerable amount in taxes!

The final irony is that there is now another parlour opened at one of the previous two premises? 

You couldn't make it up really. 

[McSwell]

Just to add to the conspiracy....

Apparently many years ago the wastrel brother of a government minister (or a Lord) was photographed leaving Sandys Northenden Branch be about 8 years back approx

It made the front page of one of the red top papers.
He had a thing for one of the girls there

Dr Adam Osborne, brother of remainer twat George ( real name Gideon  ) Osborne the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and current ''Editor'' of the free toilet paper used by the homeless in London a.k.a. The London Evening Standard , is the fellow you are thinking of.

He was obsessed with a girl at Sandy's and she prevailed upon him to write her prescriptions for various drugs. Also drug prescriptions for some of her hooker mates.

The General Medical council took a very dim view of this activity.

Some years later he was finally struck off for good when found guilty of trying to  establish sexual relations with  a mentally ill patient.

Incredible isn't it ? And he's not even the biggest cunt in his family !!

George/Gideon Osborne ,according to the published testimony of tubby black hooker Natalie Rowe, spent plenty of time with hookers in his youth. If she is to  be believed he's partial to a medium sized dildo up his arse. Something to contemplate the next time you see his smug face on the telly.

On Adrian Burch's lawyer's profile it says that it was an 'abuse of process' argument due to GMP's tolerance.

I guess that's confirmation that they're not going to be having any issues paying back the POCA money.

Well spotted, this is what I thought they would say, all great when they were being allowed to operate by GMP, but now an ace to play. And sums up why the police shouldn't collude/allow pimps to operate in my view, it can come back and bite them on the arse.

In 2010, he was suspended from practising for six months over a sex scandal after it emerged he had written a false prescription for a cocaine-addicted prostitute with whom he had been in ‘a relationship’.

Good spot indeed .... although I thought the 'abuse of process' loophole was dealt with by the CPS following this case External Link/Members Only

This led to guidance from the CPS here External Link/Members Only go to ‘Keeping a Brothel’ and then ‘Police Investigations. Abuse of process’

In the media reports of the trial it reads that it was the prosecution who were giving full disclosure of the GMP tolerance policy in line with the guidance?

Is that Sandy herself with the Blonde hair ?

I'm sure she was working as Maid / Receptionist on one of my visits.

Yes I think you're right. My first thought was Sandy without makeup ( an unlikely occurrence). She's probably taking the picture.

However, with a 2-Year suspended sentence hanging over their head, I doubt they will rush into setting up something similar at this stage.

Or any stage. The conviction remains with you for life (unless you receive a pardon) Get done again, even after two years and you will be locked up for quite some time.

He's a cunt - it was soooo funny when he only got 1% of the votes in the local elections - seems everyone else thinks he's a cunt as well

Imagine if trip adviser used the same concept for reviewing hotels and restaurants -
OK here's my review for last nights meal.
Sorry that's an independent restaurant and they don't pay us money every month so you can't review it.
OK here's my review for a meal I had last week at a big chain who pays you, the service was shocking.
Sorry we're not publishing this review either as it sheds a bad light on that establishment and they may not pay us any more
