Glinner: let's hire a private detective

Where do I sign.

Well, if Glinner does pop here I just wanted to say how much I admire and respect him for standing up for women's rights when the personal cost to him has been so great. Thank you.

And the IT Crowd has given my shy and introverted autistic teen so many hours of sheer sheer joy for which i thank him also.

❤

There is more than one of those, I think.
I think there's a little network, but I'm not sure how many of them are sock accounts. Pretty sure some are, as that's what they keep accusing women of. Sounds like Graham had a good go at collecting info so whoever takes this on will have a nice big dossier to start them off.

Don't donate money then. No-one is making you.

FOIs are pointless when the police "can't find" a person they supposedly want to ask questions of. If a private detective can find that person, and the police can (legally) be told where that person lives, is that not a good thing?

If we @Glinner him*, he sometimes pops up.

This could be quite the jape.

*only once and no mirror needed.

I don’t know, who benefits from this? The concern is fair but the way to solve that is through FOIs, which are boring to do and make no money. It seems “off” to me, there are crowdunders for cases live, if I have money to donate it’ll go on those. Plenty of women do PI work for free on Twitter, £4K is a lot of money.

I’ve sometimes wondered why we feminists don’t behave as badly as the TRAs. I mean, the rape and doxxing threats I got on Twitter at the height of the madness about 6 years ago were pretty horrible if I had taken them seriously.

But I like to think we have ethics and high standards and we’re grown ups, so do t call the police when we have hurt feelings.

Maybe though, we should. I mean, there’d be enough of us with receipts.

This

Given that the police are institutionally misogynist and racist a lot of people stand to benefit from uncovering corruption.

NB think glinner is one of the few people to post under his own name on MN

Yes, but I was thinking of the flying one. Notorious and needs stopping.

There is more than one of those, I think.

When last I looked, women had free will.

I hope he can nail the vexatious reporters and litigators. One of whom, is alleged to use all the tricks in the book to litigate against people and never pays costs when he loses, even when the Court directs him to pay the defendant’s costs.

Down with this sort of thing is it Lettiy ?

Watson insinuated last week that he was still in the police.

Careful now!

This is almost as entertaining as Father Ted itself

Lynsay Watson has been hiding from the police, and therefore no force can question him. Get a decent private investigator on to the case, and justice can begin to be done.

Maybe we need a bit of a Spartacus moment here?

"I am Graham!"

I don't see what this will achieve tbh.

If he is getting a private detective to investigate it's likely to result in more accusations of harassment.

Unfortunately the route he needs to take is to challenge the police, if he feels this strongly.

This will not demonstrate his complaint and result in a resolution to the problem. It will do the reverse.

🤣🤣

The transes on BlueHairSky are kicking off, going "iT's IlLeGaL!!!"

Except, boys, it isn't. A good private detective works within the law. And thus can provide actionable evidence. Illegal evidence is not admissable in court, or to the police.

Still, that won't stop them thinking they know what they're squawking talking about 😆

I think it is an excellent idea.

The level of corruption in the police is huge. Until it affects you, you have no idea how bad it is. Anything that will expose just a fraction of it is worth supporting IMO.

I’ve been vaguely wondering if there is an underground network of prominent GCs who would do something like this. There is obviously a TRA equivalent - Sophie Molly in particular has been quite open about it.

Anyway, sounds like a good idea - the siloed nature of UK police forces means that even if individual forces weren’t captured/complicit, anything requiring a investigation across force geographical borders has been too easy to worm out of.
