Two policemen resigned before being sacked for sharing animal porn images alongside misogynistic, homophobic and racist messages on a Whatsapp group chat, it was revealed today. Police constable Charles Phipps and PC Robert Goldstone were both barred from policing after gross misconduct was proven at a misconduct hearing. The misconduct panel heard how photos of a man performing a sex act in a cow's mouth were shared alongside a flurry of offensive epithets passed between the officers. The WhatsApp group chat between three Hertfordshire constables, entitled "Danny's got a sore vagina," was run over a two-year period and included the animal porn alongside terms including "n*****", "Jew" and "sheikhs" - all of which was sent by former PC Phipps. The misconduct panel also heard that PC Goldstone and PC Mark Williams had also sent a series of highly-offensive messages in the group chat. The findings of the misconduct hearings stated that the officers' behaviour … [Read more...] about Policemen shared vile animal porn and racist messages In Whatsapp group chat

Horror WhatsApp text sent to MILLIONS almost cons dad out of thousands – check your phone
AN AUSTRALIAN man has described how he was almost conned out of £3,000 by scammers posing as his son on WhatsApp. Scientist Alan Baxter said he realised he was being fleeced and averted disaster thanks to the criminal's lack of punctuation. Writing on Twitter earlier this month, he criticised banks for facilitating crooks and not getting the scammer's account banned. In a later tweet, Baxter confirmed that the attacker's account had been shut down by ANZ after they initially refused to act. The scammers employed a tactic that is growing in popularity among crooks: Posing as a family member in need of urgent financial aid. The Sun previously helped a 75-year-old British man retrieve £1,500 from his bank after he had been hoodwinked by someone posing as his grandaughter on WhatsApp. Read more about WhatsApp LAWYER UP Elon Musk sued for a staggering $258BILLION over 'dogecoin scam' I-CAUGHT My genius iPhone hack … [Read more...] about Horror WhatsApp text sent to MILLIONS almost cons dad out of thousands – check your phone
Dad almost fell for WhatsApp scam but spotted typo he knew his son wouldn’t make
A dad has revealed how he was nearly conned out of thousands by a very convincing WhatsApp scam. Scientist Alan Baxter said he spotted the scam – and avoided being fleeced – because of punctuation mistakes. The scammers were posing as his son and trying to convince Alan, from Australia, to send financial aid. ‘Dad, I planned to make a payment today but as you can see I won’t be able to do that myself,’ the scammers wrote in a WhatsApp message. ‘Can you help? I’ll send you the details if it’s fine’ Posting the entirety of the interaction on Twitter, Mr Baxter showed how the scammers were trying to get him to pay $4,700 AUS (£2,691). But he quickly clocked that it wasn’t his son sending the messages. ‘My son is an English teacher so the lack of grammar and full-stops alerted me,’ Mr Baxter told the Daily Mail . He then says that he went on to check the authenticity of the scam with his bank, Australia’s ANZ. ‘I first contacted ANZ’s customer help line but … [Read more...] about Dad almost fell for WhatsApp scam but spotted typo he knew his son wouldn’t make
Met Police officers sacked over racist WhatsApp posts about Meghan Markle
Two Metropolitan Police officers who shared vile racist messages on WhatsApp comparing Meghan Markle to a golliwog have been sacked. PC Sukhdev Jeer and PC Paul Hefford posted ‘highly corrosive’ content in a group chat in 2018. Today, a tribunal ruled their actions were ‘abhorrent and discriminatory’ and amounted to gross misconduct. ‘Dismissal is the only appropriate action,’ said chairman Maurice Cohen. Jeer and Hefford were based in a unit at Bethnal Green police station in east London when they shared the messages. They also failed to challenge or report offensive messages being posted in the group. Messages from former officer Richard Hammond, who was also in the group – including a discriminatory message about the London borough of Tower Hamlets – were found to amount to misconduct. Jeer was the ‘most active contributing member’, the tribunal, at the Empress State Building in west London, heard. He shared an image of a golliwog toy captioned ‘a … [Read more...] about Met Police officers sacked over racist WhatsApp posts about Meghan Markle
I was looking forward to moving to London and flat-sharing – it turned into a nightmare
They’re sounds I became all too familiar with – the groan of Callum’s* door, his distinguishable footsteps, the twisting of my bedroom handle. A few minutes earlier, I’d listened as he’d done the same to another flatmate, invading their room with a deluge of verbal abuse. I opened my door to condemn his actions before retreating into the comfort of my room, my brave front quickly giving way to apprehension. Of course, I would be next. I knew this because the invasion of our rooms had become a common occurrence by this point, and for ridiculous reasons. This dispute was a result of Callum’s decision to confront my other flatmate after a request to keep the toilet door closed – both during and after doing his business – in the group chat. A simple instruction for most considerate flatmates to take on board, but not those predisposed to hostility and partial to heavy drinking. How did I end up here? I was just another bright-eyed 20-something excited to make the most of … [Read more...] about I was looking forward to moving to London and flat-sharing – it turned into a nightmare

Three MORE Met Police cops are punished over inhumane WhatsApp photos of murdered sisters
THREE more Met Police cops have been secretly punished for failing to report two officers who shared sick photos of murdered sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman on WhatsApp. The PCs admitted they received images from the scene - and failed to challenge the person who sent them, or report them to senior officers. The officers - two women and a man - have been given written warnings by the force after a misconduct meeting was held behind closed doors. Members of the press were not informed of the meeting, either before or after it had taken place, although the Met had prepared a statement in case they were asked about the hearing. It comes after PC Deniz Jaffer and PC Jamie Lewis were jailed after taking and sharing photos of the crime scene in Fryent Country Park. The men, who had been deployed to stand guard over Bibaa and Nicole's bodies, branded the women "dead birds".

Navy Seal in bin Laden killing calls out Trump for sharing QAnon conspiracy al-Qaeda leader is still alive
The former Navy Seal known for his role in the operation that killed Osama bin Laden has hit out at Donald Trump for sharing a conspiracy theory that the late al-Qaeda leader may still be alive. Rob O’Neill, who says he shot dead bin Laden in the 2011 raid in Pakistan, expressed anger that the president retweeted a QAnon theory that the Seal team killed a body double. Mr O'Neill, 44, a Republican and vocal Trump supporter, voiced his disgust on Wednesday that the "highest-ranking person in the country” would be “trampling on the graves of some of the best heroes” by claiming the team had not killed bin Laden. “He (Mr Trump) could go over to the CIA any time where there’s a file cabinet with a picture of bin Laden’s head and my hands in the picture. We took a bunch of pictures of him,” Mr O’Neill said, in his first public criticism of the president. Asked by CNN about the rumours that have been circulating and given prominence by Mr Trump, Mr O’Neill said this was “bigger than a … [Read more...] about Navy Seal in bin Laden killing calls out Trump for sharing QAnon conspiracy al-Qaeda leader is still alive
Three Met officers shared vile golliwog joke about Meghan Markle on WhatsApp
Three Met officers exchanged racist messages on a Whatsapp group, including a sick comparison between Meghan Markle and a golliwog. PC Sukhdev Jeer, PC Paul Hefford and former officer Richard Hammond are going through an employment tribunal. If the allegations are found to amount to gross misconduct they will be thrown out of the force. Shocking revelations from the hearing came to light on the same day Scotland Yard was informed it is being put in special measures after a string of scandals. Vishal Misra, for the Met, told the Fulham tribunal that PC Jeer contributed to the group the most, followed by PC Hefford and then former PC Hammond. The trio were all part of a unit at Bethnal Green Police Station and were members of a WhatsApp group called ‘But They Promised’ that was active between January and December 2018. Giving a ‘flavour’ of the kind of messages shared, Mr Misra said: ‘All of the content in the log is submitted to be explicitly racist, … [Read more...] about Three Met officers shared vile golliwog joke about Meghan Markle on WhatsApp

The YouTuber and adult actress, whose real name is Mary-Belle Kirschner, shared four snaps from what appears to be a hotel bed with Canadian web personality "Twomad".
