Seems Sajid Bostan, the man who told me they had “fixed the Council, fixed the Police, fixed the Advertiser and fixed the local BBC!” may have been right?
The culture of impunity that has so corrupted our Town, is coming to an end. The guilty will be exposed, the peoples justice is on it’s way!

Interesting that the Halifax Courier announces a service for victims and survivors of sexual offences. To be funded by West Yorkshire police and the NHS.
Two new bodies : It includes the opening of a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) that will see the ‘Surviving Trauma After Rape’ or STAR project permanently housed in the building.(wherever)
And “Anyone can make a self-referral”
God give me strength to blow these people off the face of this corrupted planet.
