Update #7

Background.

‘A total of 216 police officer jobs will be axed in Greater Manchester as the force attempts to save £14m from its budget for the next year. The total number of GMP officers will fall to 7,849 as 74 divisional posts are cut and civilian staff replace officers on some desk duties.

Chief Constable Michael Todd says he wants to avoid compulsory redundancies. Although Mr Todd had previously said he wanted to see the number of GMP officers increased to 11,000, he recently warned that cuts were inevitable.

In a statement, Home Office Minister Hazel Blears said the government had done everything possible to maximise the increase in grant for all police authorities.
“There is simply no reason for Greater Manchester Police Authority to make cuts or set an excessive increase in its police precept on council tax that will put an extra burden on the local taxpayer,” the Labour MP for Salford said. - BBC - 17.02.08.

Update #8.

Previous BBC statements.

‘Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary announced the inquiry by Sir Paul Scott-Lee. The Inspectorate said in a statement: “An independent rigorous inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Michael Todd’s tragic death is currently being handled on behalf of the coroner by North Wales Police. “HM Inspectorate are in liaison with that constabulary and are monitoring developments closely.”

It said acting chief constable Dave Whatton and the chairman of Greater Manchester Police Authority had asked Sir Paul Scott-Lee to conduct an examination of the circumstances “to ensure that nothing in the conduct of Mr Todd’s personal life had adversely impacted on the professional discharge of his duties as chief constable”.’

New BBC Statement - 21.03.08.

‘An inquest has been opened and adjourned into Mr Todd’s death.
The circumstances surrounding his death are to be investigated by Sir Paul Scott-Lee, chief constable of West Midlands Police, who will be looking at whether Mr Todd’s personal life had adversely impacted on his duties.’

Comment. No mention here, of the ‘independent rigorous inquiry’ by North Wales police into the circumstances ‘surrounding’ Michael Todd’s death. No mention today, of HM Inspectorate being ‘in liaison with that constabulary’ or ‘monitoring developments closely’.

We can be certain, however, that Sir Paul is closely monitoring the North Wales Police inquiry, for the uncovering of possibly suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Todd. The inquest has been adjourned and the cause of death remains unclear. The actual cause and circumstances of death may determine the development of Sir Paul’s inquiry into Mr Todd’s personal life ‘impacting on the performance of his duties’. The cause and circumstances of Mr Todd’s death may, on the other hand, indicate that Mr. Todd’s professional discharge of his duties adversely impacted on his life.

If the latter is so, we need not expect to see it reflected in the official narrative. Sir Paul will know his duty.

It is interesting that when he went down to the Met. he was in charge of the first Poll tax demo, which turned into a complete debacle. Churchill’s statue defaced, and for the first time the Police nearly lost control of the situation. In operational policing terms a total disaster. But nothing was said publicly.
The following year he organised it better, or probably got someone more operationally competent to do it, and for that he received a Commendation. Incredible, but that is how things work at that level.

And still unanswered is why the Home Office, advised by the Security Services, who one presumes knew full well about his pecadillos in London (we in Nottingham certainly did, and it is therefore inconceivable that the Home Secretary did not !) parachuted him into Manchester, and why Greater Manchester Police Authority meekly accepted him.

Also, a more junior police officer would have been at the very least disciplined, if not dismissed, if he or she were to ‘carry on’ as Mr Todd did with his numerous affairs.
He abused his power, position, and good looks.

I feel very sad for his children. It is clear his wife must have had her own issues eg low self-esteem, obsession with money/status, etc if not she would have left ‘Hot Toddy’ many years ago as any self-respecting woman would if married to a serial philaderer.

Suicide is a choice for any of us. I respect that of Mr Todd. But his death leaves a devastating shadow for his children to grow up in he should have thought of his children who he was apparently meant to ‘adore’ but obviously didn’t, if he did he would still be around today to ‘face the music’.

And not only people serving their country when they are killed abroad, kindly note, North Wales Coroner.

The mountain rescue team finds the body at the foot of a cliff, from which it has not fallen (Coroner). It has no external injuries, and, without the benefit of a post-mortem, no internal injuries, either (Coroner). There is a near-empty bottle of gin beside the body, but a blood-test on the remains reveals “Not a huge amount of alcohol, then”? (Coroner). “No, 220mg per 100ml, or perhaps 105mg per 100ml (Pathologist). The remains are pink.

We do not need to know the late Mr.Todd’s colour. We need to know how he died.

Besides the body, along with the bottle, is a ‘jacket’, and some ‘removed’ outer garments, later restored (shirt, trousers, shoes?).

The body is recovered, together with the bottle, by a mountain rescue team. The jacket is left to fend for its own devices, and blow where the wind listeth.

Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team are now searching for the jacket, using meteorological records and, for all we know, satellite technology. A pity, not to have picked it up at the time.

Meanwhile, two separate, high-powered and costly police teams are ‘rigorously’ investigating the matter.

Certum est quia impossibile est.

Mr. Todd was wrong, when he ‘proved’ it harmless, by its use upon himself.

The United Kingdom government has purchased several thousand Tasers, has approved its use on children, and is investigating approval of its use on pregnant women.

Taser: coming to a police force near you.

The midnight oil is burning.

UPDATE#1: We learn that letters to loved ones were found, and then were not found, near the body; that there were ‘anguished’ phone calls; that there were ‘worrying’ text messages, some of which caused ‘others to fear for their safety’(i.e. threatening text messages); that there were ‘bouts of depression and talk of suicide’; that there was ‘a half bottle of spirits next to the body’; that the coat had been removed; that certain ‘outer garments’ had been removed.

Comment: Text messages, genuine or faked? Phone calls, ‘anguished’ or imaginary?

UPDATE#2: We now learn that Mr. Todd was discovered lying face down, without his coat, but with the ‘certain outer garments’ apparently restored. The half bottle of spirits is now a near-empty bottle of gin. The earlier ‘distraught’ calls and ‘threatening’ messages were incorrectly triangulated to the Menai Strait. Really? Incorrect triangulation of such magnitude? ‘Had we found him earlier we might have saved him…’ someone opines. Mr. Todd was over the legal drink driving limit, but ‘not drunk enough to be endangering his life under normal circumstances’. Abnormal circumstances are not mentioned. ‘Not a huge amount of alcohol then’, asked the coroner of the pathologist. No, 220mg per 100ml is the reply. Nothing to worry about, officer. Mr Todd had sent a number of farewell texts before he died - no longer threatening, presumably. There were a number of scratches and abrasions on his body, ‘consistent with a slip but not a fall.’ The letters, found near the body, not found near the body, now found somewhere else altogether, apparently.

Comment: Triangulation of mobile calls is supposed to be accurate to tens of metres, not off by tens of miles. The letters have wings.

UPDATE#3: We now learn that there were ‘no visible marks or injuries on Mr. Todd’s body, and he was ‘fully clothed’. Alcohol level is down to 105mg per 100ml. Mr. Todd ‘sent a number of farewell messages before he died..’ Mr. Todd was ‘lightly clothed’.

Comment: A well-documented suicide, by all accounts. There is little in the way of mobile signal, near the summit of Snowdon. Were these ‘farewell’ messages sent from elsewhere, and if so, by whom? Consumption of a bottle of gin (presumably neat, presumably quickly) would imply a blood alcohol level nearer the originally reported reading of 220mg per 100ml than the revised reading of 105mg per 100ml. Note that the remains, initially lacking a coat and other outer clothing, are now fully clothed. Note that on the day after the worst storm of the winter Mr. Todd is on Snowdon, ‘lightly clothed’.

Update#4. The Coroner, Mr Pritchard-Jones was told that Mr. Todd was fully clothed but the garments were only light. There were no external or internal injuries. The coroner said: “There was no evidence this man had jumped from height or sustained any significant injuries.” He said releasing the medical information about Mr Todd was necessary to “allay suspicion and fears. We are hearing this evidence today to get rid of some of the ridiculous stories I have read in the papers and had put to me over the last day,” he said.

Comment: The Coroner does not mention the earlier reports of missing clothes. He states there were no external injuries, in contradiction to earlier reports. At the time he spoke, a post-mortem had not been carried out, and the Coroner would not have been in position to know if there were internal injuries. The Coroner sought to allay ‘suspicions and fears’, to ‘get rid of some of the ridiculous stories’ that he had ‘read in the papers and had put to me over the last day.’

What ridiculous stories might these have been, appearing in the press? Perusal of the press, mid-week, reveals no such ridiculous stories. Who had been putting ridiculous stories to the Coroner ‘over the last day’. With what purpose in mind? Who was trying to influence the Coroner? Might the Coroner have been motivated to preemptively ‘release medical information’ not so much in order to get rid of ridiculous stories, but to obfuscate the truth; and if so, at whose behest?

Update#5. Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary announced the inquiry by Sir Paul Scott-Lee. The Inspectorate said in a statement: “An independent rigorous inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Michael Todd’s tragic death is currently being handled on behalf of the coroner by North Wales Police. “HM Inspectorate are in liaison with that constabulary and are monitoring developments closely.”
It said acting chief constable Dave Whatton and the chairman of Greater Manchester Police Authority had asked Sir Paul Scott-Lee to conduct an examination of the circumstances “to ensure that nothing in the conduct of Mr Todd’s personal life had adversely impacted on the professional discharge of his duties as chief constable”.

Comment: We now have HM Inspectorate monitoring the ‘rigorous enquiry’ of the North Wales Police, and announcing the separate inquiry by Sir Paul Scott-Lee, who had been asked by Greater Manchester Police to conduct this inquiry ‘to ensure that nothing in the conduct…’ An interesting turn of phrase, to ‘ensure’. Not to ‘investigate whether anything in the conduct…’but to ensure. To ensure what, that if there was anything in the conduct of the late Mr. Todd which had adversely impacted on the professional discharge of his duties it would not be revealed, not investigated, and not admitted?

Update#6. ‘Meanwhile mountain rescuers have been working to find a waterproof jacket that belonged to Mr Todd, which he would have been wearing on Snowdon. The Llanberis mountain rescue team has been reviewing weather forecasts and wind directions to pinpoint where it might have blown.’

Comment: This must be the jacket that Mr. Todd was not wearing, found by his side, wearing (‘fully but lightly clothed’) and again not wearing. But we know such a mysterious waterproof jacket belonged to Mr. Todd, because Llanberis mountain rescue team is out looking, and the jacket, and the finding thereof, is considered vital. We have heard nothing of any vehicle involved, or how Mr.Todd moved so rapidly and so lightly clothed, between Menai Strait and Snowdonia, defeating the triangulation. Was Mr.Todd dropped on Snowdon by helicopter?

In the space of a few days three senior British police officers have committed “suicide”. Is this just a coincidence or is something else going on?

We have to ask because two of them were prominent and one in particular was very senior. He was even being touted as assuming the most senior position in the British police force.

On March 11 police Sergeant Richard Fuller was found shot dead at his family home. He was in charge of security at the Duchess of Cornwall’s family home in Wiltshire.

Although he was only a sergeant he occupied a prime position within the British establishment, protecting one of its most senior members, Camilla Parker Bowles.

A few days later the body of a commended police inspector was found washed up on a beach near the beachfront home of a multi-millionaire neighbour of soccer boss Harry Redknapp on the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula.

Between these two supposed “suicides” came the death of Manchester police chief Michael Todd.

A dynamic and ambitious officer, Todd had been tipped to take over from Sir Ian Blair as Metropolitan Police Commissioner, one of the most senior positions in the British police force.

It could almost come from a Sherlock Holmes story but as a mentor once told me, “there is no such thing a coincidence”. So what exactly is behind these apparent coincidences?

Several correspondents have suggested that some sort of ‘clean-up’ operation is underway. The object being to silence those who know too much, with the ultimate aim of protecting the establishment

As one writer puts it: “One is a tragedy, two is coincidence but three is downright suspicious”.

Indeed, and as another correspondent asks, could this have anything to do with the unfolding Jersey care home scandal?
It could indeed. But while we reserve judgement on whether it is specifically linked to the unfolding scandal in Jersey, we could be witnessing some sort cover-up operation.

The object being to silence those who might compromise the British establishment and their involvement in multitude evils.

This may not be completely outlandish given the link between Freemasonry and the British police force, two bodies renowned for their ties.

We reserve final judgement but as Sherlock Holmes investigative partner was wont to say, something odd is afoot.

But it turned out it was just another Constable.

But do people REALLY think he killed himself just because he was having an affair ?
He has had affairs before, as is well known and well documented. He would have survived this one too.

Unless… there is more to be told this time round. The truth may never come out, unless the private detective hs something to tell us.

And if you think I am speaking out of turn. I knew him. And did not like him. And did not trust him. He existed for the greater glory of himself.
