This is a photograph of Andrew Campbell Deputy Editor of the Liverpool Echo. Looks like he is enjoying his life as a Deputy Editor. The reason I signalled this photograph out is because it sickens me to my stomach when I know he has never once shown any interest, shock or concern over the fact that the Chief Constable of Merseyside Police allowed the Force to block an investigation into deal-striking between Local MPs and Councillors that many officers believe has led to paedophile activity being covered up.. Cheers Andrew!

But that reluctance to question the Chiefs of the Merseyside Police does not surprise me or any other officer from the Merseyside Police. It not only MPs and Councillors officers are warned against trusting, it is also the Liverpool Echo. A year or so ago panic set in with the Liverpool Echo when it alleged they knew a lot more about the Hillsborough Cover-up than they let on. The allegation was that they were informed when Norman Bettison was Chief Constable of the Force that he had been involved in the altering of Police Statements. You, the Public will be hearing about altered statements recently, I heard about that in Parade Rooms years ago.

Why officers are dubious about approaching the Echo is because of a general suspicion that if an officer goes to the paper with any revelations of corruption or bad practice, the journalists take that information back to the Force and strike deals that if they do publish it the Force will give them exclusives. Do I believe that, well here is my experience of giving the Liverpool Echo information.

In 2010 I wrote a letter to the Liverpool Echo Letters Section detailing concerns over a member of the Public being intimidated into dropping his complaint of racist assault and verbal abuse which Chief Constable Jon Murphy was fully aware of but refused to do anything about.
