Ian Britton 🇬🇧

Over the past 6 months I’ve been working closely with @JournoZak of @Daily_Express .Today’s front page story about the horrors of how the Rochdale children were failed, how they were treated as less than human is not new. It’s what directly led me to resign from @gmpolice in late 2012. I was ashamed to have been part of such a despicable case! I have spoken about it constantly since 2013, I covered it in my book and have supported Amber and Ruby for over 12 years to fight against police and cps to expose how horrifically they were treated. I was grateful that in 2022 the new Chief Constable of @gmpolice finally formally apologised. His predecessor Ian Hopkins QPM very forcefully and for years refused. And @peter1fahy turned away and condoned their treatment whilst Chief Constable. In my opinion both are not fit for office! However even though we had “face to face” meetings with @CPSUK Crown Prosecution Service in London even as recently as 2023, they still refused to apologise, refused to say they won’t use these same what I consider disgusting “tactics” again, and that is very concerning. Where Zak Garner-Purkis has made such great strides is in strengthening what I’ve always said, what Ruby and Amber have always said, by finding direct claims made publicly by Keir Starmer where he owns the decision making on this case! It’s abhorrent to me. Always was and always will be. And that he was Director of Public Prosecutions signing this off says so much about the type of man he is! It speaks for itself tbh. No conscience, no principles, no humanity. For the very first time ever Ruby has shared her story with a journalist. It’s taken huge courage for her to open this box yet again. But she wants everyone to know how she and Amber were treated. I took her to meet Zak and here is the first part of this expose, and more will follow in coming weeks… It knocked me sick from the first day I knew what they did to Amber and Ruby, but in all honesty this is the first time a national newspaper has wanted to go into the detail in this way. Thankyou Zak. X express.co.uk/news/uk/218982…
