The Serious Organised Crime Agency is an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by, but operationally independent from, the Home Office.
It is led by a Board with 11 members. The non-executive Chair of the Board, responsible for the overall approach of SOCA, is Sir Stephen Lander….Ex Head MI5.
One of the Board Members is General Sir Roger Wheeler. Knight Grand Cross of the Bath , CBE was Chief of the General Staff, the professional head of the British Army, between 1997 and 2000. Sir Roger is the current ‘Constable of the Tower of London’.
He is also a Non-Executive Director in Aegis Defence Services headed by the controversial soldier of fortune, Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Spicer OBE. Aegis are curently recipients of a major security contract (£350 Mn (ish)) in Iraq and are undertaking an internal enquiry into a video allegedly showing the shooting up of civilian vehicles by their staff - which hasn’t yet reported.(D Telegraph story 27/11/2005)
Set a terrist to catch a terrist?
I find myself in a similar position, but for very different reasons. I am the last living person (outside his own family presumably) who would still vote for TB (the man, not the disease).
Yet I can’t. I can’t because my local labour party opposed the war (yup, I’m a bloodthirsty warmonger, and no longer a member of the people’s party). I can’t because the prospect of Brown in charge is just too much. Milliband perhaps, but Brown no, never.
I could never vote Tory. And I will never vote for those duplicitous, lying, cheating Lib Dems. My proudest moment was seeing a Lib Dem councillor fleeing up the road pursued by my dog. Right enough he later turned down my planning application, but ‘Exit stage left - pursued by a dog’ was sufficient recompense.
As ever, there are many reasons not to do something. And few reasons to be positive. Perhaps it’s even time for neo-con fascist warmongers like me to forget the war.
Aww soddit. How can I post the right comment against completely the wrong post. Goddam decaf coffee - it’s messin’ with me mind.
Ah, forgetaboutit. Cut and paste it on the other post.
