The Bedfordshire Police Denial: Down the Memory Hole

As posted here the night before last, Kevin Carroll, the leader of the English Defence League, reported on Facebook that a Year 7 child had been raped in the toilets of a school in Luton, and that the authorities were covering it up.

Early the following morning a commenter named Sepher posted this copy of a Facebook entry by the Bedfordshire Police:

Dear All,

A number of you have posted questions to us about rumours on other social media forums that a year 7 child was raped in the toilets at her school. Bedfordshire Police have received no reports at all about an incident of this nature. An officer has been asked to review any relevant social media postings to see if any offences of incitement or similar have been committed. We will let you know when there is any update. Because of the large number of comments on this topic, which we are unable to moderate between other duties, we have removed most of them and would ask for your co-operation in keeping posts within our guidelines.

Thank you

I have no further information about what happened, other than the fact that the message has disappeared down the virtual memory hole. Draw your own conclusions.

  1. Ah, the wonders of the Wayback Machine and Google’s Cached pages. Hard to make stuff disappear. Welcome to the 21st century, sirs. And I do hope there is room in the budget for some sort of IT training for your police officers

  2. The whole saga reeks of corruption. Kevin has been set up by the PROPAGANDA MACHINE.

  3. This could mean two things,

    1. that there was truth in the story
    2. that they are removing this as they are going for a criminal investigation

    I guess we shall find out soon!

  4. Ah, wonderfull, peacefull Luton.

    Where we have fully armed police officers patrolling on Council Estates and near school playgrounds whilst senior Police Officers deny there is anything unusual going on

    Remember in the UK mainland Police officers are usually on patrol without carrying firearms (Ulster is different). The vast majority of UK policemen are not trained to use firearms. Even moves to train more officers to use Tasers have led to a backlash from the public and many serving Police officers. It is very rare for UK Firearms trained officers to be deployed without their being a specific incident to which the Police are responding. To deploy officers effectively saying ‘there might be another firearms incident in this area so we need to have our firearms teams on the ground first’ is a very unusual type of deployment.

  5. Taking a sinister, cynical view here, immediately after the Operation Bullfinch trials would be an optimal opportunity for the state to plant a false story of Islamic sex crimes in order to get a reaction from anyone they want to subsequently eliminate.

      • I realise that the whole subject-verb-object deal is difficult for some people, but still, I suggest you try reading the previous comment again.

  6. Mind you Tommy and Kevin ought to be aware of what they’re doing and saying because they know perfectly well that the British state is after them, so they need to be careful and not jump the gun – although you can’t help wondering if their sources have been “turned” – a favourite tactic of the Communists btw – check out the reds’ approach to the church in Poland post-WWII.
