Winchester and Oxford, plus Guernsey and More

I don't blog much. Life is too full, but sometimes C of E madness catches my eye. 

The news says that Martin Percy, Dean of Christ Church Oxford, has been 'cleared' with regards the CDM.

So did they really give that man a nervous breakdown and spend years with the case in the media spotlight for no good reason? 

Of course, because there was no reason for it to become a public fight. The Church of England are dogs returning to their vomit. They turned the Jersey and Winchester farce into a public fight for years, in that case destroying the victim and publicly upholding the Dean before dismissing him quietly with DNA's forbidding the reality to be released. Then there's the Dean of Sheffield's troubled Cathedral, he sank without a sound, with no big connection being made between his resignation and the allegedly very toxic and serious situation within the Cathedral. There's a real Dean problem in the C of E, Deans have a lot of power and appear also to be the whipping boys for everyone else's, or more senior figures' misconducts.

There was a bit of weirdness with a Bishop going to be a Dean a while back, if I recall it was the failed Bishop of Southampton, going to join a previous Bishop of Southampton who was a disgraced safeguarding Bishop who conflicted the Jersey and Winchester matter. Very odd. But as long as the general public don't question a thing. Three Safeguarding Bishops in a row have been connected with the Diocese of Winchester: Paul Butler - Southampton, Peter Hancock, Winchester, and the current Bishop of Southampton - interesting - and they've all played a part in the cover-up of the horrendous Jersey and Winchester farce, where apart from Key's disguised sacking, not a single person has faced a pentalty and a number have been promoted in true C of E tradition.

In Guernsey not so long ago, a longstanding priest was convicted of assaulting a young man. He had gone specifically looking for boys or men to have sex with. He told the court he was bisexual, and yet he was married and also a longstanding priest, so his undeclared bisexuality and need to seek out men without the congregation being aware was an abuse of trust. But it's much worse than that. He approached and sexually assaulted a man who was using a public toilet, without any consent, and claimed to the court that he 'thought the man was giving him signals'. This doesn't appear to have been argued as an empty statement, sex, even with a stranger, has to be consensual, and he approached this young man from behind, when he was obviously urinating and not looking for sex, and molested him, leaving him shocked. It wouldn't make sense to claim that he 'thought the young man had been giving him signals'. But that is what the press published. The priest was convicted, but basically was only given a slap on the wrist while the judge spoke of his 'previous good character'. How many of you think a man who carries out an assault like that has only done such a thing or similar one time?! The priest, not registered as a sex offender as it's Guernsey, was fined £1000 after having a long and cushy life in Guernsey with his expenses paid by the Diocese, and allowed to leave Guernsey for France, where his conviction will be unknown on French databases and possibly English as well, and certainly unknown to the community. Basically he's been enabled. 

After that, the Dean of Guernsey, another dubious Dean, kicked off a PR campaign as the C of E do, that 'after the horse has bolted and we've enabled it' PR campaign that is the C of E's familiar theme.

'We take safeguarding very seriously' he trumpeted, sounding like so many clergy over the past 8 years have after they've failed to safeguard and harmed victims. No, I can assure you that the Dean of Guernsey doesn't take safeguarding seriously, he and his Deanery are extremely compromised, especially in electing the abuser and his replacement who has also harmed a vulnerable person, as vice-deans. Jersey and Guernsey between them have had a succession of guilty, culpable, compromised or abusive Deans and Vice-Deans, indeed it's almost tradition.

'Safeguarding is open, but there are no new cases' read another silly headline. Why was safeguarding closed while abusers, yes abusers, have been allowed to prey on the vulnerable as a result of having a Guernsey residency due to being C of E priests?! And no new cases, what about the unresolved old cases and those in Guernsey church positions who haven't been held to account? I asked the Dean and his team and interestingly, they were unable to respond at all. The Diocese of Salisbury's communications team who trot out the press statements for Guernsey are truly dreadful and have made the Diocese of Salisbury and the Cathedral into laughing stock over the past year, but the thing is, these silly PR statements in the Guernsey Press newspaper, BBC Guernsey and the godawful 'Bailiwick Express' are empty, not expecting anyone to read behind the lines, another C of E tactic, they expect, like the current Prime Minister of England, for what they release for publication to be accepted without question - something to do with the appalling unregulated C of E schools dumbing people down perhaps? 

The Dean blares that 'You can contact the Deanery about any 'concerns' but if you don't want to, you can contact the NSPCC'. A number of issues there. Why does he think people might not want to contact the Deanery, or why they might not contact the POLICE instead if they for some reason feel unable to contact the church, he's implying that people don't trust the church and is trying to field them to an unsuitable organization conflicted by the church, and what about adults? The victim was an adult, are they expected to contact the NSPCC? Interesting point. I will get to that.

Who remember Jimmy Savile doing publicity stunts and answering calls from children on the NSPCC's Childline? And Esther Rantzen saying she'd 'heard rumours' about Savile, and yet from her position in the NSPCC etc, failed to act on those rumours. In 2013, the Diocese of Winchester illegally shared confidential case information with the NSPCC and enabled the senior figure, John Cameron to act on their behalf to distress the victim by contacting her. The NSPCC have been unable to explain why this senior figure was involved when the victim was an adult with no children, a blatant abuse of power among many in that massive farce, and as with rest of the farce, which heavily involves members of the Guernsey Deanery, no action has been taken.

I'm sure those of you who think, can understand that with the dodgy goings on at the NSPCC, the C of E are simply doing as they do throughout England and the Channel Islands, conflicting yet another public body. The NSPCC, police, social services, safeguarding partnerships and bodies, charities including the terrible 'Macsas' who are openly C of E run and for the assistance of cover-up, and bizarre 31:8 (who still haven't got a proper name) also C of E run, and much more, even the NHS, judiciary, politicians, government and law, are conflicted by C of E influence through dual memberships, so basically the Church of England can advocate that the victims turn to anyone conflicted by them, and the C of E's backs are covered, there are few sources of impartial justice and no regulation of how the church record cases or portray their victims. There are hundreds of angry and hurt C of E victims out there, but the current unsuitable Archbishop is sticking to the plan of PR false apologies and false, redacted and whitewashed reports to fool the IICSA who will be gone soon, and the Charity Commission who are being fended of by the Church's Solicitors.

The C of E relies heavily on silence, silence in response to being contacted by victims and those concerned for victims, and they rely on the silence and complicity of all agencies who they conflict or influence. In Guernsey we're talking about Guernsey Safeguarding, Government, probably the court who left the pervert priest to go free and behave as he likes in France, and probably more. Jersey is famously conflicted and that was evident in the number of authorities, agencies, charities and bodies used to destroy the Jersey and Winchester victim over several decades, although UK bodies and UK-Jersey bodies such as the Privy Council and House of Lords were among the players in that. The C of E influence in Government and Lords is one of their biggest fallbacks for avoiding liability. 

It is very concerning to see in England that the C of E are trying to claw their way into colleges and force themselves on vulnerable students through chaplains; the corruption of children through badly regulated C of E schools for the same reason the C of E can run homeless shelters and other charities - government idleness and conservation of funds - is bad enough, it means there is nowhere really safe for children and young people, let alone the vulnerable who have to endure C of E interference while the C of E still don't safeguard. The C of E is basically an almighty parasite, unregulated, dangerous, abusive and constantly filling the press with their unquestioned advertising of themselves, especially after incidents which show them in a bad light. They've had their day and should be making arrangements to transfer schools and all their outlets that make contact with children, young people and the vulnerable to governments and agencies which should be running them or are qualified to run them.

Some weeks ago, the Bishop of Winchester was said to be 'stepping down'. I was curious, but not overly so. He has been, from start to finish, a complete misfit, there has been nothing whatsoever in his behaviours that indicated suitability for senior clergy positions and it would only have been a masonic handshake and agreement that got him there. The C of E don't go much on theology, and these days are not electing on grounds of wisdom, experience or theological knowledge but it's more about money and power and exchanges of favour, so the C of E, already in decline, are losing congregation hand over fist. But Dakin, Bishop of Winchester, was a misfit even among the many inappropriate and needless elections of new Bishops, as the number of Bishops doubled and the numbers of congregations halved, he was never a Bishop, he was a poser after the order of Justin Welby, carefully posed vanity pictures and videos constantly and needlessly spamming up the press in the same way, but he wasn't even a competent manager, and he was dishonest to the point that anyone could see it, but the C of E audience's silence, still unbroken by the little boy in The Emperor's New Clothes, meant his contradictions went unremarked. An example is the Jersey and Winchester farce, Dakin alternated by saying the Dean was guilty and that the Dean wasn't guilty, and did anyone speak, did anyone break the silence? No. He was nasty to abuse victims and the vulnerable while doing a lot of PR shows, presumably that is why he was installed, he was a man after Justin Welby's own heart. Indeed he spent vast amounts of Diocesan money on a PR firm for no good reason.

The Bishop ordered and endorsed a massive amount of money to be spent on paying conflicted and unsuitable 'investigators' to investigate a fraction of a massive case, choosing to investigate only the small part played by a man he had a historic grudge against, the former Dean of Jersey, Robert Key, and making the whole investigation pointless because matters surrounding Key's actions were ignored, and the victim was completely excluded from the whole investigation and left voiceless and incessant lies about her by Key and his circle were published. Never in C of E history has their manslaughter of a victim been so open. The Peter Ball case certainly involved manslaughter and the same breed of violent silencing and use of government officials and Royalty to endorse the abuser, but the power, press and money were not even used to the extent of this case.

 I am not belittling how horrifying the Peter Ball case was and is - colleagues of Ball who were aware of things have remained in their positions to this day unpunished for failing to safeguard, but Dakin's collossal acts of stupidity and cruelty and damage are reigning champion in the C of E's long history of unregulated harm. The Oxford Dean case is a good contender and the Peter Ball case will always be the worst case of a Bishop being allowed to remain when his acts of depravity were known, the cases of John Smyth, linked to Welby and Winchester and Rev Fletcher, are also cases connected to lifelong harm and whitewashed and redacted reviews. But Dakin's unsuitability for position and the harm he did as a result are top of the unsuitable Bishop leaderboards, and neither he nor his wife nor Justin Welby nor colleagues involved have been disciplined or barred as they should be. This is the letter I wrote to Bishop Dakin yesterday (I'm sure I wasn't drunk at the time but I was trying to write from someone dictating the facts), I thought about it last month but I have concerns closer to home that take most of my time and energy and in main, the C of E ignore me as they ignore all criticism and concern, and until that changes, they will never safeguarding.

Open Letter to the resigning Bishop of Winchester.

01/06/2021

Dear Tim Dakin,

I understand that you’re ‘stepping down’. A story that has been around for a few weeks. The ignorant, elderly and naive in your diocese may praise you and be heartbroken and I know Bishops bask in that innocent and misdirected worship, but it’s a sad state of affairs that such innocence is abused by who you really are and what you’ve done. You don't deserve praise, or even liberty. 

I’m glad that you’re stepping down, interested to see it isn’t a massive nuisance national media PR play as most of the bowel movements of the C of E are, and dismayed that you stayed so long and haven’t been made properly accountable for your misconduct, but that is the Church of England, you overstayed your welcome and didn’t have the wisdom or ability to be a Bishop, and that really showed in your destruction of a vulnerable adult first through years of public harm and then through police violence and branding. The headlines shouldn’t be reading of your ‘stepping down’ and thus abdication of responsibility, they should read of your arrest for breaching the court order against you that the vulnerable adult took against you to protect her, and the arrests of those in the C of E and outside who enabled you in destroying and violently silencing your victim.

You should have stepped down before, in 2013, when it was apparent that you’d harmed a vulnerable adult by your foolish and illegal actions, and you certainly should have gone in 2018 when you had her violently abused by police to silence her after your public campaign of discrediting her for years on end didn’t silence her. But the senior clergy in the C of E are collectively without conscience or understanding of responsibility.

I’m sure that you’re aware that the Steel report remains under the court order that you’ve breached multiple times, and you had no right to share it as you have and remain without the right to share it. But what about the victim who you destroyed? Is she dead or in prison or forcibly deemed insane on your behalf in some psychiatric unit because she wasn’t silent after you and Mr Welby heavily abused your power to close down the Jersey and Winchester farce? Or are you still having her chased by the police? And if so, considering the magnitude of your crimes that you weren’t held to account for, why? Something is very wrong with policing systems that favour the powerful and destroy the vulnerable. 

Your stepping down isn’t enough, just as Mr Welby’s suspension for three months isn’t enough, and for him to announce it as a sabbatical in the middle of a pandemic wasn’t appropriate and was hurtful to his church and the general public while the church and the nation are in crisis and the general public can’t take long holidays to suit them. He should be dismissed and facing charges for his part in your slaughter of a vulnerable adult as well as the other cases. It’s bizarre how the church communications lie in order to protect the church’s reputation, when first and foremost the church should be representing Christianity. Your ‘stepping down’ has been very quiet, while Mr Welby’s constant false PR spams up the newsfeeds and gets in the way of real news.

What about your wife, she aided you in harming your victim, is she to also leave all licenced reader positions? And are we to expect you to move to another position where you can harm the vulnerable, like the former Bishop of Southampton, who ludicrously became a Dean after being complicit in your terrible harm? What safeguards will be in place to stop you publicly committing murder as you have done? What has been done about Jackie Rowlands, as her lies and venom towards HG, your victim who she should have protected, destroyed her? Have you made sure that she is banned from all positions relating to the vulnerable, as Jane Fisher should have been as soon as the skewed contents of the Korris report were known? You allowed Jane Fisher to continue in her position and harm HG for two years after the release of the Korris report, while you threatened HG over Fisher’s malicious conviction of her for responding to Fisher’s abuse of her. In every way what you did was repeat all the previous injustices on a magnified scale.

Please make sure loose ends are tied up and that this colossal injustice is addressed. You carried out an attack allowing everyone who ever harmed the victim to defend themselves publicly without giving the victim a voice, and enabled and encouraged the Church Times and other media to run an incessant attack on the victim based on the whitewash reports and the testimonies of wrongdoers, and you yourself threatened the victim on the grounds of unjust police action where those who had harmed the victim had lied to the police and tried to brand the victim insane, just as you and your wife and Jackie Rowlings and Mat Phipps did. You made it clear in 2013 as you threatened the victim, that whatever you were doing was not an investigation into the wider picture of wrongdoing in the Diocese but appeared to be more about your old grudges with Bob Key. You spent a huge amount of money on one narrow part of a huge picture, and omitted the victim, the key witness, from all of those conflicted reports, costing the church a huge amount for nothing, and there was no reason to put a vulnerable life in danger by using the press as a voice for the church against the victim. If you couldn't see the safeguarding failure, you should never have been a Bishop. 

You still need to address several decades of police injustice against your victim, and all of the press and media slaughter of her, especially the abhorrent behaviour of the Church Times in misleading the general public and publishing hate against the victim. As you know, Bishops ‘step back’ or ‘retire’ to avoid accountability, and leave the matter to the next Bishop, as Michael Scott-Joynt did, and the victim went after him in distress to demand justice and closure as she was left homeless and destroyed, and was accused of insanity and all the rest of the lies by Scott-Joynt and Fisher as a result as they had her brutalized and attempted again to have her imprisoned, and then you came along and attacked her and threatened her over it instead of investigating, what will the next Bishop do to slur your dead victim’s name and protect you?

Tell me again why you thought destroying her was a safeguarding exercise? I was one of many who saw through it all, but the Church of England, as you know, ignore all correspondence and pitilessly force their stories on the general public and clergy without being accountable. What have you done about the Church Times and their safeguarding and professional failure of publishing lies and attacks on a vulnerable adult, what have you done about an investigation that publishes her story in reply? What have you done about ensuring that Paul Handley and his team are banned from journalism for life? And about those in your current and past deaneries of Romsey, Andover, Basingstoke, Guernsey and Jersey who have committed severe misconduct? What was the huge sum spent on, between 2013 and 2016? When not a single culpable person has been held to account or punished and some have been promoted when as a result of their abuses and their attacks on the victim, they are a safeguarding risk to extremes! Especially knowing that the church will actively protect them and silence victims. And the National Safeguarding Team, a joke if there ever was one, what has been done about banning Mssrs Tilby and Johnson and Jane Dodds, Moira Murray, Caroline Venables and the rest from access to the vulnerable, after they allowed this wholesale destruction and showed no understanding of safeguarding whatsoever and instead broke the law and attacked the victim? Don’t go before this is resolved and all involved are held to account, because you didn’t carry out a safeguarding exercise into what Michael Scott-Joynt did and didn’t dismiss Jane Fisher instantly, so it’s unlikely that the Bishop taking your place will carry out an investigation into your public slaughter of a vulnerable adult.

Several years ago, when your victim was homeless and destroyed by you, she contacted all your clergy, as ever not as ‘harassment’ but because you are a danger to the vulnerable in the way you abused your position to utterly destroy her and leave her homeless and voiceless, in much the same way she contacted people over Michael Scott-Joynt’s actions, if you try to crush and suppress someone completely, while they still have life and know they’ve been wronged, they will speak as best they can, and only the church of england would kill someone in any way possible to silence them this way. Now when your clergy were contacted, they as one, showed that they had no understanding of safeguarding and would rather allow a vulnerable adult to die than their Bishop’s serious misconduct be exposed, and as you know, emails by a member of your clergy and Moira Murray, defaming and traducing the victim and ordering the other clergy in the diocese to ignore her, were published. What has been done about Moira Murray’s criminal behaviour and the complicity of those clergy, especially the ones circulating the defamation?! And Jackie Rowlands, what has been done about barring her for life?! You are responsible for Jane Fisher not being immediately dismissed when you took your position, you are responsible for employing an unqualified and inexperienced safeguarding lead, Jackie Rowlands, who instead of addressing the serious misconduct, decided to be offended by the victim speaking up and criticizing her, you are responsible for Rowlands lying to police and harming a vulnerable adult. Walking away with this not addressed, is a serious misconduct, you remain responsible for this.

As you know, Jackie Rowlands, your ‘safeguarding lead’ was so unqualified and untrained, that she took offence at the victim raising the matter of your and her failures, and the police tried to convict your victim of ‘Being angry with people who tried to help her’ -basically her response to being emotionally and sexually abused by pastoral couples in the Diocese of Winchester, her story still unrecorded, as well as the victim’s letter criticizing Rowlands for her failure to address you being a danger to the vulnerable, as if these were crimes and your public destruction of the victim through whitewashes and the hate-stirring lie-publishing media were not. The police, who have a long history of violence and harm to the vulnerable, especially those they silence for the Church of England, those in the Peter Ball and Kendal House cases for instance, seriously injured your victim and repeated Jackie Rowlands lie about the injunction the victim took against you. How and why did a vulnerable adult living homeless and in severe poverty and without representation manage an injunction against the Bishop of Winchester, and why did you lie to the press in 2016 to traduce the victim and cover that up? And why is the Church of England not employing proper safeguarding staff and not training their clergy in safeguarding response even after the recent years of the PR false safeguarding being overridden by the press reporting on the C of E failures? 

The victim, with autism, and reactive attachment disorder from a horrifying childhood in which she was denied school, medical help and any form of support, reacted to members of your diocese emotionally and sexually abusing her, and this is a reason to have her dragged from her home and violently brutalized and left homeless? This is a reason for you to enable the Church Times, Jersey Evening Post, BBC Jersey and others to launch onslaughts of hatred against her on behalf of those who wronged her?!

Your stepping down is simply an abdication of responsibility for this, and you should never hold another position of authority again. The National Safeguarding Team traduced the victim and paid for a biased and illegal ‘report’ against her by a psychologist who never met her, in order to silence anyone who spoke up about the case, rather than demanding your immediate removal and barring for life and ensuring that the prolific defamation of the victim was removed from the internet and media archives – yes, defamation because you enabled her name and details to be released to the general public and many many people knew who she was but not her side of things and most of what was published was inaccurate or untrue. Can you imagine anyone having to live through that? It would kill a strong and stable person. 

As you know, Justin Welby made his support of the destruction of the victim very open, sabotaging a clergy discipline complaint against you immediately after going on BBC Jersey to uphold the wrongdoers and traduce the victim in the middle of the whitewash conflicted investigation, making the investigation into an open joke and farce as he said he believed no wrong had been done, he hasn’t ‘stepped down’ nor taken responsibility for the Smyth and Fletcher cases and his part in the cover-up, before his recent suspension he was still, no lessons learned, offering fake PR apologies and more fake investigations there, after being forced by legal means into a meeting with the Smyth victims by their money and power. That fakery looks to continue indefinitely. 

I’m sure that you’re aware that Mr Bob Hill, BEM, gave up three years of his retirement to try to protect your victim from your public destruction of her. An effort was made by Jane Fisher, John Gladwin and Christine Daley to drive a wedge between them to prevent the victim’s life being defended by Mr Hill, and as a result, Mr Hill collapsed after significant damage was done, this is akin to Fisher using Philip LeClaire against the victim after the victim forbade any contact between them, a legally binding assertion of her wishes, and not investigated by you. You would have killed the victim within months if it hadn’t been for Mr Hill and his friends, but as it was, you didn’t withdraw your attack on the victim at any point and thus you killed both of them, and very slowly and horribly in the victim’s case, you simply couldn’t have inflicted more or worse harm if you’d tried, and to justify it? You, never having met your victim, blamed her, having never recorded her story, judged and condemned her. That merciless psychopathic abuse of power isn’t normal, it’s only present in an organization which isn’t held to account by any body or any governance.

The Churches in Jersey operate in the same way as Immanuel Church Wimbledon, the home of #FletcherCulture. Evil is seen as a blessing and victims are treated with callous disregard. That hasn’t changed by a PR appointment of a ‘safeguarding rector’ who has failed to address this case or see the suspension of the clergy and laity involved in this case and the investigation of the many safeguarding failures, some serious, that HG witnessed, it hasn’t changed through Trevor Willmott’s lies about ‘safeguarding is good in Jersey’ which left the victim off sick from work to see that headline when not one of those who harmed her was called to account, it hasn’t changed through another conflicted chosen investigator illegally accessing records and abusing their power for more whitewash ‘past case reviews’. The victim and her representative still suffered and died, those in the church, the police, the media, the NHS, safeguarding, and other conflicted bodies haven’t been held to account. So you have some work to do before you go, and it isn’t the responsibility of the next Bishop or anyone else. It’s your responsibility. Even the inaccurate perceptions of the Jersey bloggers on the case, when they used it to highlight the unjust Jersey systems without the victim’s agreement are your responsibility. All of it is, and yet you’ve sacrificed lives to protect your position and the church of England, the opposite of what Jesus taught and expected.

What you and your church did was you conflicted and ruined HG's police, medical, social services and safeguarding records so that she would never be heard or credible, you effectively forcibly drove her from help, ensuring she could never trust or have a meaningful relationship with the authorities who failed and harmed her because of the C of E. Essentially you left several sexual abusers and numerous spiritual and emotional abusers with access to a vulnerable adult, and took away her access to work and support by giving her a criminal record when she had no other convictions or record outside of standing up to religious abusers, you left her with the choice of a lifetime in poverty and shame and terror of police beatings which would likely kill her after causing a series of serious injuries, or death.  And at the same time, the church of England allow a man like Gavin Ashenden, who used the media and press to incessantly attack HG and lie about her, as well as his string of media attacks on vulnerable groups, to currently act out his grudge against the C of E by pretending to advocate for other C of E victims. The Church of England is completely devoid of safeguarding.

It’s your responsibility that the police in Jersey traduced the victim after their violent and dishonest behaviour to her previously, and your enablement of them covering that up publicly as a result of you making the case public for no reason, your responsibility that the victim’s efforts to leave the streets and rebuild her life were constantly ruined by you, until she could no longer try, your responsibility that lies were published, your responsibility that those in the Diocese who harmed her are enabled and empowered to go on harming. Your responsibility for working hard to make the victim out to be insane as your predecessor did, to cover up driving her insane. Your responsibility that you took a senior position with no training in or understanding of, trauma, vulnerability, the effects of abuse, and safeguarding. There is nothing that indicates why you became a Bishop, nothing in your behaviour or actions which indicates either theological knowledge, compassion, wisdom or responsibility. You are the face of the destruction of the church of england.

No explanation has ever been given as to why you and Bob Key have been allowed to ‘step down’ as if you have honour, while a vulnerable adult was publicly destroyed. No explanation has been given for that public destruction and your and the national safeguarding team’s behaviour towards the victim’s response. There is no safeguarding in the C of E. And singularly, the church of England, at Deanery, Diocesan and National level, remain unable to respond properly to safeguarding complaints, from perpetrators in the Guernsey Deanery being promoted to vice dean, one after another and a PR farce being made of it, to the unresolved Jersey and Winchester public murders and why no one prevented them to the full case background unrecorded and a whitewash by Heather Steel and and a malicious 'psychological' report being used as the victim's record, to the failure to remove clergy and laity who have been part of your Jersey and Winchester farce, the biggest safeguarding farce in C of E history. While the C of E cannot communicate with the ‘common people’ or respond well, the safeguarding danger remains as it always has been, no change, no improvement.

You did one thing for HG, you and Justin Welby, your public destruction of her, as well as being seen by her friends, community, employers, college, churches, volunteer projects etc, was seen by her abusive family, and you permanently estranged her from them, albeit in a very humiliating and nasty way. It is hard for a person to cut ties from their family due to loyalty, but you cut the ties, and her family being a sort of church of England in miniature, that was no bad thing and the only small benefit to her wellbeing during your protracted and sadistically cruel murder of her although of course it simply added to her suffering at the time, you managed, as Scott-Joynt and Fisher managed for her father’s death, to cause anguish around her mother’s death. It wouldn’t be put past the church and their complicit police to have used HG’s family against her, but as they had abused her too, they wouldn’t be reliable character references, would they?! Any more than those wrongdoers in the Jersey and Guernsey Deanery using the press to attack her, enabled by you! However, you had no right to estrange HG from anyone, nor destroy her work, her home or her degree course, as you did. 

You had a vulnerable adult destroyed by abusing every ounce of your power, because you’re part of a dangerously unregulated and conflicted organization, but you were ‘offended’ that the victim kept on appealing for help, the same as she did to Michael Scott-Joynt, and you, like him, had her arrested, branded for life, violently brutalized, and left homeless and destroyed. How many times do you think a strong person could survive such horror? Let alone a vulnerable adult with no foundation due to the abuse. Get to work, you can’t leave until you’ve resolved all of this, it isn’t the responsibility of the next Bishop or a conflicted faker whitewashing past cases without the permission of victims for the sake of church of England PR! I’m aware that the Diocese of Winchester are liable for you and don’t want to be, but you are liable for yourself, so do the right thing. On the subject of the Diocese, your Chief Executive and his staff were actively involved in harming the victim. Oh, and don't forget that the unprofessional and criminally compromised 'forensic psychologist' used to traduce and silence HG for the national safeguarding team should have immediately been relieved of their duties. He never met HG, went by the lies of wrongdoers, and obviously didn't even read her daily blog, life after the diocese, as she tried to survive the way she was being murdered. 

Finally, this is a safeguarding complaint, even though the C of E don’t safeguard and have made it clear they don’t intend to, to the point of setting up yet another non-independent independent safeguarding regulator, the same as the new same-old clergy discipline measure, but the complaint stands, just as the Peter Ball case stood in the same circumstances, even after the C of E caused the death of a victim, his voice didn’t go away even with (also guilty in the HG case) Paul Butler's sickening use of him for a PR stunt, neither does the voice of your victim, sadistically slain to protect you and many powerful wrongdoers.

Sincerely,

Mr John Carter.
