a senior police officer has been found guilty of corruption and jailed , this man pulled out the race card over the years and escaped punishment due to the forces fear of seeming racist towards asians in thier employment .
he was finally caught when he was cought on CCTV making a false accusation and arresting an old friend simply because he owed him 600 quid ,the judge described him as a criminal in uniform when sentencing him to 4 years .
what really annoys me is after all this ,the race card is still be pulled , a black guy was on the news this morning saying it was unjust due to the money , time and resources put into capturing this man and it was bacause of his race , maybe they shud of let him carry on eh , and that innocent man whom he tried to frame would of been unjustly convicted.
i know what i think , wot do others think about this.I had someone at work accuse me of racism (as well as about 6 others he worked with over time) he simply played the racist card cause he knew would tread wary. To my mind thats as bad as being racist
A long time coming but, at last he’s got his just rewards. A bully and a hubris man.
Hopefully they will give him the sack and strip him of his pension rights., before he puts in an appeal.This matter is of course about (soon to be ex) Commander ‘Ali’ Desai of the Metropolitan Police. It is apparently true that he was an outspoken and aggressive ‘anti-racist’ particularly in his (ex) position as Chairman of the Black Police Officer’s Association (BPA).
He has been charged in the past (and was found ‘Not Guilty’) with a number of offences ranging from misuse of his corporate credit card to fiddling mileage expenses and so on. On ever occasion he screamed ‘racial victimisation’ from the rooftops and unfortunately the Met backed away.
I submit that if ANY other Police officer had been charged with these types of offence, he would find himself slung out of the force on internal disciplinary charges and his feet wouldn’t touch the ground.
Remember that the CPS ONLY prosecute if they are satisfied that there is sufficient evidence against the accused for a reasonable prospect of conviction in Court. When prosecuting a high ranking Police officer, the amount of evidence would have to be particularly compelling for a procecution to be authorised.
Desai will now spend time in prison and good job too! He was a corrupt and dishonest officer and a disgrace both to the uniform and to the entire police service.
BTW: There is a queue forming of his ex colleagues (both in the Met AND in Thames Valley) to send large pots of Vaseline to other criminals that they have previously had convicted and who are in the same priison, with messages such as “Please give Desai my ‘regards'”
can you get large pots of vaseline? :lol:

PB It doesn’t make any difference in a court of law what rank the officer is when up on criminal charges.
You’re quite right – it doesn’t. What I was driving at was this … when a Police officer (of any rank) is considered for prosecution, the CPS really has to be fully satisfied that there is a solid case to answer. This is because Police officers can often be the target of malicious or totally unfounded allegations – especially by the ‘criminal fraternity’ who often have a grudge to bear.
Although the previous Court cases returned a ‘Not Guilty’ verdict against Desai, for him to be actually taken to Court in the first place meant that the CPS believed that there was enough hard evidence to secure a conviction.
Unfortunately for Desai’s later victims, the jury was not persuaded.

PB It doesn’t matter who the person is that is being considered to be brought before a court of law by the CPS – they have to believe they have enough evidence to bring the person to trial.
Yes Florrie and this is the central thrust of my point really. There was hard evidence against Desai long ago, but he escaped the “Guilty” verdict in Court. However the Police disciplinary process should have been invoked against him – except (as Pete pointed out earlier) Desai played the ‘race card’ over and over again.
Maybe he should now play the race card in his new accomodation by insisting that only ‘black’ criminals make use of the many donated tubs of Vaseline !!!
can you say “central point of my thrust” and “vaseline” in the same post ? :shock:
