Notes From Khanistan Vol II

Over the course of the night of June 13th 2017 (13/6/17) into June 14th 2017 (14/6/17) a fire completely destroyed the Grenfell Tower. This was a 129 apartment block on the Lancaster West housing estate in the Kensington area of the UK city of London. The fire left 80 either dead or missing presumed dead.

There have been persistent rumours that this fire was an arson attack orchestrated by the UK Labour Party. The objective being to damage the reputation of and ultimately overthrow the UK's elected government. A very serious allegation indeed.

Since then supporters of the Labour Party have been threatening and conducting acts of violent disorder - rioting.

This began on June 17th (17/6/17) when a mob attacked the headquarters of Kensington & Chelsea council damaging the building and threatening to kill council staff within the building.

June 21st (21/6/17) saw the State Opening of Parliament. The Labour Party declared this to be; "A Day of Rage" and called supporters to the streets to use; "Any Means Necessary" to disrupt the opening of Parliament. Due to it being the hottest day of the year this plan fell flat with one newspaper describing the fiasco with the headline; "Too Hot to Trot."

Labour's Day of Rage at the opening of Parliament was accompanied by two successive nights of rioting in the Stamford Hill district of London on June 20th (20/6/17) and June 21st (21/6/17). Predominately Jewish the Stamford Hill area is a adjacent to the Barnet area of London. Barnet's equally large Jewish population were famously denied the right to vote in the 2016 London Mayoral election.

There is really no explanation or obvious trigger for the two nights of violence in Stamford Hill. Criminal street gangs simply started launching attacks on police and local residents.

On June 15th (15/6/17) a young black man by the name of Edson da Costa who had been working as a drug dealer/courier died after being arrested by police in the Beckton area of London.

The da Costa family supported by the Labour Party immediately claimed that Edson had died as the result of torture by racist police officers. Their claims included that he had suffered injuries consistent with a severe beating such as a fractured skull and a ruptured bladder.

Curiously none of those injuries showed up in any of the autopsies carried out on Edson da Costa. They did though discover multiple packages of Crack Cocaine lodged in his throat and stomach. His death was the result of an overdose having ingested a large quantity of drugs.

The truth though meant little to the campaign so on June 25th (25/6/17) London was subjected to another night of rioting. This time in the Forest Gate area of London where Edson da Costa had lived.

Over the night of last Friday (21/7/17) into Saturday (22/7/17) there was a similar incident in the Dalston/Hackney area of London.

A young black man by the name of Rashan Charles who'd been working as a drug dealer/courier was stopped by police. During the course of his arrest Rashan Charles swallowed multiple packages of a drug believed to be either Crack Cocaine or Heroin in order to conceal them. Despite the police's best efforts to remove the packets Rashan Charles too died of a massive drug overdose.

Again though facts seem to count for nothing. Supported by the Labour Party the Charles family have been circulating similar, unsupportable claims that Rashan Charles was choked to death by racist police officers. Throughout the week they have been threatening to riot yesterday (28/7/17).

On Thursday (27/7/17) London's Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) appear to have moved to reduce the threat of rioting by appeasing the Labour Party.

They took the legally questionable step of declaring they have reasonable grounds to suspect both Kensington & Chelsea council who own Grenfell Tower and the Kensington & Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (KCTMO) of corporate manslaughter over the fire.

I should point out that the legal bar for reasonable suspicion is so low as to be almost meaningless. The legal bar for actually filing charges is much higher and the bar for securing a conviction is much higher still.

Corporate Manslaughter is used when an organisational structure rather than an individual is reasonable for people's deaths. Although a criminal offence you obviously can't put an abstract organisational structure in prison so the maximum punishment is extremely large fines.

I hesitate to describe these organisational structures as a company or a corporation. One of the most high profile convictions for corporate manslaughter was actually secured against London's MPS over the shooting death of Jean Charles de Menezes.

On July 7th 2005 (7/7/05) Al Qaeda terrorists detonated bombs on three London Underground rail (the Tube) trains and a London bus killing 52 people. On July 21st (21/7/05) a second group of terrorists attempted a similar attack. However their explosives failed and they fled.

On July 22nd (22/7/05) an MPS surveillance team wrongly identified Jean Charles de Menezes as one of the terrorists. They then handed responsibility for him over to a second MPS surveillance team. That second team tracked de Menezes into the Stockwell Tube station.

Believing him to be a suicide bomber who was about to detonate his device aboard a crowded passenger train the MPS then dispatched a firearms team to shoot and kill him before he was able to do so.

Although Jean Charles de Menezes was not a terrorist the MPS firearms team did exactly as they were lawfully instructed to do so. The second surveillance team also acted as they were lawfully instructed to do so genuinely believing de Menezes to be a suicide bomber. The first surveillance team who initially wrongly identified de Menezes as a terrorists had made a simple human error.

As a result rather than any individual being at fault it was the MPS procedure's and training that were at fault. Therefore the MPS were convicted of corporate manslaughter.

The senior MPS officer in charge of the de Menezes operation - the Gold Commander - was one Cressida Dick. At the time there was talk of her being personally prosecuted for manslaughter. Although that did not come to pass you would have thought it would still have spelt the end of the aptly named Cressida Dick's career.

Strangely not though. On April 10th 2017 (10/4/17) Cressida Dick was appointed MPS Commissioner with responsibility for the entire force.

The offence of corporate manslaughter centres around the concept of; "Controlling Mind."

This requires the organisational structure to have such a high degree of control over their employees and the working environment they can be considered to have total responsibility for both. Normally this relates to the rules the organisation sets, the training it gives to its employees and the discipline it maintains to make sure the employees follow the rules and their training.

So if an organisation sets strict rules, conducts extensive employee training and ensures the rules are followed if an employee decides to break those rules then it is the individual rather than the organisation that is responsible.

Obviously to give a full opinion on the Grenfell Tower case I need all the facts.

However based on the information I do have available while highly unlikely it is possible that Kensington & Chelsea council could be guilty of corporate manslaughter. Likewise it is equally possible that KCTMO could be guilty of corporate manslaughter.

However what cannot be possible is what the MPS are claiming - that both are guilty. It's not possible for two entities to have a controlling mind over a single incident.

When it comes to fire safety who has a controlling mind is reasonably clear. In 2005 the then Labour government changed the legislation by introducing the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. This required a so-called; "Responsible Person (RP)" to be designated within an organisation to have controlling mind over fire safety.

At the time the Labour Party's reforms were viewed as a significant weakening of fire safety. Prior to 2005 it was only the Fire Service that could hold responsibility for fire safety. The 2005 changes allowed any member of the public to be designated as responsible.

Both Kensington & Chelsea council and KCTMO have designated the London Fire Brigade (LFB) as the Responsible Person with controlling mind over fire safety at Grenfell Tower.

In doing so both organisations have not only met their legal obligations but have exceeded them. That makes it almost completely impossible for them to be prosecuted for the offence.

The MPS' attempts to play fast and loose with the rule of law to appease the Labour Party have failed. Last night there was hours or rioting in the Dalston/Hackney area of London.

Led by local Labour MP Dianne Abbott people are again beginning to gather in the area putting it at significant risk for a second night of rioting.
