"Subject: KERR-HASLAM ABUSE REPORT
I am the author of the article on that Government Report of 2005. On behalf of someone who has suffered enough from victimisation due to publicity, & fears more, can you please remove it from your Survivor Archive, i.e., for immediate access on the internet?" The online archive retains the first paragraphs of the article below, to show what it was about, and the Survivors History Group has archived the whole article offline. |

A REVIEW OF 'THE KERR-HASLAM
INQUIRY' |
PART 1:
SILENCING THE
WHISTLEBLOWER `Virtue, truth and justice are irrelevant to the prince who wishes
to
conserve his power. He must be willing to murder any subject who
dares
oppose him… yet it is often wise to represent to the people that the
death
is a suicide.' This saga of psychiatric abuse, cover-up and now Government
whitewash
has run for forty years and still - despite Chairman Pleming's wish
for
'closure' - the end is not in sight. He must fool himself if he
imagines
that The Report does not betray its bias and implausibility when, in
the
face of the mass of the evidence which it publicises, it asserts that
that
there was no conspiracy to protect the abusers Kerr and Haslam. The
representative of a group of abused former patients has expressed her
bitter disappointment with this unwarranted and bizarre conclusion,
whereby 120 patients were criminally abused and dozens of complaints
were
made, yet only three officers of the NHS are to blame, and they only
get a
verbal smack on the wrist. Yet it is worse than that. So as not to
publish
further and conclusive evidence for a conspiracy to ignore the
patients
and protect the abusers, The Report also deliberately suppresses
crucial
evidence. It is also outrageous in its dissemblance of the harassment
and
victimisation of the only determined whistleblower in the whole
history of
the abuse and cover-up.
