How did he get way with it for so long? Who was protecting this man?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... s-ago.htmlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... laims.htmlFlowers was convicted for gross indecency in 1981, and continued to hold a Methodist Church ministry. He made fraudulent expenses claims of more than £150,000 from a charity between 1992 and 2004. He resigned from Bradford City Council because “X-rated adult images” were found on his council laptop computer. He LATER became chairman of governors for Lidget Green Primary School in Bradford.
Flowers went on to become boss of the Co-op Bank. Where it is now reported he used Co-op Bank money to fund his drug use and pay for the services of rent boys; where it is also reported he passed cheap money to the Labour Party. Plus, there are published photographs of Flowers unashamedly socialising, and enjoying the confidence of Labour Party high rankers.
Why didn't the Criminal Record Bureau checks, that everybody who has anything to do with children has to pass, disqualify Flowers from becoming a chairman of a school governors? Why haven't the police been crawling all over this man for decades. Who has been protecting this man? And Why? Who is afraid that this man knows more than is good for some political careers?
We live in a society where we are spied upon by Government, local authorities, every public agency. Even private car parking firms, banks, petrol filling stations, and supermarkets record our every move and financial transactions. And yet Flowers appears to have a history of deviance that goes completely unchallenged for decades by all in authority - until a drug-taking rent boy develops a stronger conscience than any of the powers of authority, or that of the forces of law and order.
How come we ordinary people even can't get away with over-filling a wheelie bin, or failing to purchase a TV Licence without gaining a criminal record, yet others can get away for decades with the most obscene criminality?
AND. Is this the type of newspaper criminal revelation that Levenson is supposed to prevent from being published?
There is something fundamentally rotten in the high places of this country.
