In the local news again - Beds on Sunday

Articles below.

The Bedfordshire on Sunday has reported on my case again and has completely misrepresented me and my situation again.

I have never lived in the Middle East, I did not use my blog to announce my return to the UK and I had no intention of emigrating to the U.S, this is a concoction of the truth based on ill informed facts.

I was visiting a friend in the U.S over Christmas when I found out about the police investigating my blog and wanting to arrest me.

The article also states that I am a police informer; I helped the police with information that resulted in the arrest and imprisonment of a local Luton Pakistani Moslem heroin & crack dealer.

In my book a police informer is someone who passes information to the police to get off of a criminal charge or for payment, which I did neither. I was a concerned citizen who had information that could help the police tackle the scourge of Moslem drugs in my community so I gave it to them; this is classed as a ‘confidential contact’ and not a police informer.

If only more people would stand up and help the police tackle this threat.

The recordings of the police telephone conversations were obtained so as to prove my arrest for the asylum procedure in the U.S.

In the same newspaper there is a report of Bedfordshire police being praised for their work in going undercover on the streets of Bedford to tackle drug dealing on the streets.

I have written extensively about the trade in street drugs that is being controlled by the Pakistani Moslem community of Luton, Luton is 10 minutes down the road from Bedford, with both places coming under the jurisdiction of the county of Bedfordshire.

I have written about the Taxi link, how Pakistani Moslems are using the cover of taxis in their organized criminal drug dealing operations and in this article you will see once again the taxi link.

Bedford is home to the infamous world famous Pakistani Moslem extremist who wore the suicide vest to the demonstration in London over the Danish cartoons. When this person was arrested for his actions which should have been incitement to religious hatred, it was discovered that he had just finished a 5 year prison sentence for selling heroin & crack cocaine.

All this proof to what I am saying about what is being inflicted upon society where I live and I am being arrested for saying it – I breach community cohesion because I tell the truth and certain people do not like the truth being told because it rocks the boat.

An Internet weblogger facing charges of inciting racial hatred claims he was a police informer.

Paul Ray, who blogs as 'Lionheart', is seeking political asylum in America.

In recorded telephone conversations with Bedfordshire police officers, posted online, he claims that he does not want to face being remanded in custody because he would be face to face with Luton drug dealers whom he had helped imprison.

Previously resident in the Middle East, Mr Ray used his blog to announce his intention to return to Britain before emigrating permanently to the US.

After he did this, Bedfordshire Police demanded to interview him on February 19 and said they would arrest him on suspicion of incitement to racial hatred.

On his blog, he wrote: "Given the circumstances there is no way I am going to walk down to the police station and hand myself in to the police so that they can arrest me and possibly imprison me over my blog - Political persecution!" Mr Ray has therefore not returned to the UK and instead travelled directly to America where he plans to seek political asylum.

US laws covering the recording of telephone conversations differ from those in the UK.

In one of the conversations, recorded on February 18, Mr Ray can be heard telling Detective Sergeant Steve Facer: "I've actually helped you arrest and imprison some of the Pakistani Muslim drug dealers from Luton that I write about on my blog.

"So I've helped imprison these people and now you're going to arrest me and possibly put me in the prison system with some of these people.

"So that's a concern that I have in coming to the police station, that I might be remanded into custody."

Drug dealers have been jailed for up to five years following a police sting that has won national praise.

Operation Ouse, between July and October last year, involved officers from the specialist and economic crime unit and was prompted by a rise in street robberies.

Posing as thieves with a drug habit to support undercover officers were deployed around Bedford town centre at locations where information suggested stolen mobile phones could be sold on.

At one point officers were offered drugs in return for phones which led to further arrests.

Dragan Govorusa, 51, of Foster Hill Road, Bedford, was convicted on three counts of supplying class A drugs and three of handling at the Queens Head pub at Bedford Road, Kempston. He was jailed for three years and three months.

Kamaljeet Singh Randhawa, of Broadway News, the Broadway, admitted four charges of attempted handling of stolen goods and received a combined sentence of a 12-month community order, 40 hours unpaid work, 12 months' supervision and £60 costs.

Dalvinder Dhillon, 26, of Bayham Close, Bedford, and Sunil Rai, 23, of Coventry Road, Bedford, were convicted of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and each received five years. Gazzanfar Mahmood, 27 of Elstow Road, Bedford, who was a controller at Key Cars taxi company, was charged with handling stolen goods and supplying class A drugs to the under cover officer.

He was sentenced to nine months in jail.

Kramet Khan, 23, of Palgrave Road, Bedford, was charged with supplying class A drugs and was sentenced to 18 months. He was supplying Mahmood with the crack.

Following the sentencing the officers involved were commended by Judge Foster for the innovative operation which has now been used to establish a new national best practice.

Though the standard of reporting is not of the most accurate level, at least that young journalist has tried to represent the situation.
I am sure if you contact them directly, they will print a correction notice or perhaps, with care, you can do an exclusive for their paper.
Often it is the local papers that seed major stories that break later in the national press.
You should contact them with your story.
One point, the names of those felons show a mix of races, a possible Albanian, or Kosovan, some Sikhs and a Hindu along with Muslim names.
This shows how when it comes to crime, that races combine to make profits regardless of origin.
But I do not see a Englishman's name amongst them.

The ones further down the chain are addicts themselves, they do what they do for their own fix.

The top of the chain are the Pakistani Moslems - FACT
