10/12/07 - A PUBLIC MESSAGE FOR CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT GRAHAM BALL

I’d like to say that I was very surprised that I didn’t recognise you when I saw you at the Inquest into my son’s death that opened on 4 October. The reason for this was first of all your massive weight loss since I last had the misfortune to see you and listen to your lies - and secondly the colour of your hair (what there is left if it) is now snow white, whereas it was light brown with a grey tinge five years ago when you corruptly and falsely ‘investigated’ how my son died.

I can only hope to God that the reason for this change in your appearance is because you realise that you are likely to be exposed in the near future for the corrupt police officer that you are, I expect that the new Inquest which will now be for 12 days from 22 January to 5 February will shed much light on the dark aspects of this case which you conspired - together with others – to cover up.

I am expecting that very shortly, light will also be shed on your role in the Dean Boshell execution. Because I know - and so do many others - that it was you, together with Detective Sergeant John Moran, who both revealed Boshell’s role to Kim Webber and Damon Alvin as a Police informer - and this ultimately led to him being shot through the back and side of his head in Manchester Road allotment, Leigh-on-Sea, in 2001.

Going on information received from several kind sources, some of them undercover officers, about the corrupt payments you used to receive when visiting the Palms Nightclub on the A127 between Romford and Upminster, I have good quality information that you are a corrupt officer. You would arrive in your posh car, wouldn’t you? (well, I won’t say what it is, but I know the make and model), followed by one or two marked Police cars (so you had a lot of useful friends in the force, didn’t you?). You would then receive wadges of money and then spend it extravagantly in the Palms night club bar, trying to pick up anything in a skirt aged under 40.   I expect your cover story, if anyone asked what you were doing in the Palms night-club, would be that you were ‘cultivating sources’. Handy excuse that, isn’t it?  In fact, I can almost hear you saying it to the Chief Constable: “It’s all right, guv, I was just cultivating sources”.

I wonder what explanation you would give to the Chief Constable for receiving payments at the Palms Night Club from several drug dealers? Indeed, it was known when you would arrive, and the drug dealers would always be expecting you, and would keep their appointments on the dot, to make sure you got their payments for helping them carry on with their illegal and destructive trade, which incidentally I have never touched with a bargepole, unlike you and your deeply corrupt mates in Essex Police.

As you know perfectly well, Simon Bromley, of Baldwins Farm, was one of the drug dealers involved, and it was usually on a Friday evening that you would collect your earnings from him. Cash in hand - tax free as well! Maybe it’s time that the Inland Revenue knew a thing or two about your corrupt income. I know about all this from several sources. The Independent Police Complaints Commission will very soon know about it as well. The only thing I don’t know, Mr Ball, is just how many drug dealers were paying you, and how they paid you, because they paid you in other ways than wads of money in brown envelopes, didn’t they?

But then again, I don’t suppose that you kept many receipts for the money, nor did you tell the taxman too much about them. Questions need to be asked, for example, why after a very long surveillance operation on Palms, Night Club, your behavior was not highlighted. Or perhaps it was - and the previous Chief Constable did nothing about it. After all, the corruption in Essex Police goes right to the top level, doesn’t it?
