I have received a letter from the police. It arrived in an
unmarked handwritten envelope; very discreet. It says:
"Dear Mr
EMLYN-JONES (sic). We are writing to you regarding your arrest and interview by
the Metropolitan Police Service following the investigation into your alleged
offence of Violent Disorder. The case has been reviewed by the Crown
Prosecution Service and a decision has been made to take no further action
against you. This matter is now closed for you."
There's a reason why my name is written in capital letters
that I explain here: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2011/04/census-cowards-resistance.html.
I wouldn't say this letter is a relief for me as I thought it was almost
certain that the CPS would drop the matter; in fact the solicitor told me to
put it out of my mind. What's more I didn't do anything wrong... not that that
means much these days. However, the possibility that I would be framed in some
way lingered at the back of my mind. After all, that has happened to me before,
see: http://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2013/01/one-year-on.html.
So I welcome this correspondence. I gather I was quite fortunate to be sent one.
Many people report they are never told they are off the hook and keep on
wondering until enough time has passed for it to be obvious. "No further
action" is police-speak for them concluding that I'm innocent. They could
have simply watched my own HPANWO TV coverage of the event and saved themselves
the bother. Even though I don't capture every single moment, you can see
clearly that I am calm and level-headed and did not drink alcohol etc, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2019/09/brexit-protest-2-bojo-revolution.html.
Very glad to hear this Ben. Now, have a good break in the North-East :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that you've officially been notified in writing that no action will be taken against you. I think until we get absolute closure on such things, it can possibly play on our subconscious mind.
