Unbelievable!

by tiny 31.10.14 17:49

snipped.

I personally believe that Jim Gamble can rescue this travesty of an inquiry and deliver the answers that everyone wants. I believe he will deliver the clear leadership and independence which will give survivors confidence in the CSA Inquiry as a whole

THANK GOD ITS HIS OPINION ONLY. this person must be brain blind

Ha ha ha ... 'They're coming to take me away' as the song goes... No...no... not Gamble!

I think the chap from the National Association of Survivors of Abuse in Childhood had it right... you need an independent minded criminal lawyer to run this (yes preferably with knowledge of child protection) but with INDEPENDENCE from the higher echelons of government, and what is loosely referred to as 'The Establishment'. Michael Mansfield and Helena Kennedy were mentioned...

He needs to do a bit of homework on Jim Gamble.

Jim Gamble already has a handy five point plan:

I don't know who the Needle blogger is but he has expressed support for the McCann's on a previous entry. He has also got into some arguments with Exaro regarding Elm Guest House and other matters that concern LB.

Whoever is next appointed will come under a lot of scrutiny from the victims' reps, the internet bloggers and the press. Government can't afford to have another person who may have to resign.

Someone who knows that there will be" no skeletons found in their cupboards" needs to be approached. The Government know (although they may not say) where any skeletons are. With the elections looming they will know that EVERYONE is watching and waiting to see what happens next.

Jim Gamble is almost baying for Theresa May's resignation and whilst she's made a monumental cock-up (that could be deliberate or directed from on high) of selecting an appropriate person to head up the CSA inquiry it's also worth bearing in mind Gamble is no fan of Theresa May and is a staunch Labour man anyway.

Were Gamble to be selected for the role he's not daft enough to know he wouldn't meet with 'obstacles' and no-one in the present government is likely to appoint Gamble, the Labour man in the run-up to a general election.

This is all bluster imo. No matter what Gamble's opinion is he ain't likely to get the job.

The Home Office will come under attack from all the other parties who in truth are probably very relieved it's not 'on their watch' and can use it as a stick to beat the opposition as and when it suits.

Delay tactics are abundantly clear (to me at any road)....just keep stringing out the problem until after the election - and if Theresa May becomes the sacrificial lamb it will be a small price to pay.

Just my opinion and all that.

Just checked his blog - he calls himself gojam and the only article on the McCanns suggests he sympathises with them so it`s a possibility. But note on twitter he follows JG, not that that means much.

by Liz Eagles 09.12.14 4:19

I've been having a look at Jim Gamble's tweets (or should I say mostly re-tweets).

Oh my, doesn't this man spread himself thinly. Scaremongering abounds! which is good if you're trying to sell your services as the ultimate consultancy to the UK government/schools and pretty much anyone else you can bill in this maelstrom of evil that is the internet (according to Jim that is).

I can separate Jim's own tweets into categories. I can separate Jim's re-tweets just the same. I can separate Jim's ego much the same (see 'how I did on twitter' tweets).

Jim is the 'all embracing' media darling/expert parking his bottom on many radio/tv sofas without actually saying much. He's the 'Daily Mail' equivalent of 'life in UK is awful - be afraid'. Don't despair though, 'my company and my experience in this field will save your children from the demon internet'. 'We'll keep you safe and a labour government will keep you safe too'.

Jim is selling a product - I'm not sure what that product is as I've looked at INEQE and can't get past the business-speke. It tells me absolutely nothing of substance - and neither does Jim.

Just my opinion of course.

Yes, Aquila, JG made another appearance on Stephen Nolan's 5 Live radio show on Sunday night. Are there no other "experts" the BBC can call on - very cosy.

Mark Williams-Thomas has been rolled out too. Celebrity experts.

Here we go, here we go, here we gooooooooooooooooo.

Would love to know how much a time they get for these gigs giving their expert opinions.

Lazz on JG:

‘………………………Other than being an ex cop I know little of Gamble. What I do know I have "heard" him say online, and in interview etc, and frankly he comes across boorish, vulgar, a common low breed, malicious, ignorant in every way -wickedness personified.

And for anyone who does not know of the type of comments he makes, the following one of his Twitter postings demonstrating, and leaving the reader in no doubt whatsoever the character of this man. Here we have Gamble congratulating Martin Brunt for attacking Ms Brenda Leyland a lady innocent of the accusations made against her by Brunt, Gamble and those online vigilantes who Gamble and Brunt both befriended/communicated with on Twitter/elsewhere to enable their planned assault on this lady.

His comment is shocking, sickening!

It's another great blog from l-azz (is there any other kind?).

I've no idea who l-azz is but she (I like to think of l-azz as a she) always hits the nail on the head and doesn't mince words about her opinion.

Just been looking at JG's twitter as he has been tweeting about the CSA case, and someone has pinched his 'two flags'! Does this mean he's trying to change his 'international spokesperson' image?

He's still standing at the same podium (I think) but the backgrounds been blacked out.

Crumbs, Doug D! Perhaps Uncle Jim is going for 'intergalactic spokesman'?

He has an electric blue beam coming down on him now :

Any ideas what that thing strapped to his belt is? A microphone? A walkie-talkie?

A leather-covered Taser?

Hmmm - which is the real image - the 'two flags' or the 'into the deep blue abyss' one?

(I did think the addition of the poppy made him look like he'd been shot)

I've found a photograph of Jim when he had hair, back in 1992 (I think) :

These days he wears his phrenologist's dream bald pate with pride...

...and I have wondered if Table Mountain ever reminds him of Gerry McCann -

- with his horizontal hair-do? Or vice versa?

My thoughts only.
