In the space of a week: @BetMGMUK - settled Teahupoo as void bet - decreased place terms because horses pulled up in the race - verified a customers PayPal account but still only refunded his £30 stake instead of his £1100 winnings - have asked for people’s income who won £32 from a £10 deposit - have not paid out or banned hundreds of people - have told someone they didn’t qualify for a free bet on a race you place a bet after 9am on because he logged in before 9am This is the worst bookie and it’s not even close.

I've been asked how much of what I share is true. Despite the allegations that I am a far right activist, repeated unlawful arrests by @gmpolice and legal threats from @oldhamcouncil, I led the campaign that exposed the #CSE cover up in #Oldham and forced @AndyBurnhamGM to launch his extremely restrictive Review in Oldham. Every allegation I made was proven. For example, on the matter of SHABIR 'Daddy' AHMED, Burnham's team were forced to admit; 1. Shabir Ahmed worked at Oldham Council for 18 years between 1988 and 2006. He was employed as a welfare rights officer seconded to the Oldham Pakistani Community Centre in Glodwick and that his role as a Council employee would have meant he would ‘potentially have had contact with a range of vulnerable adults and their children’. 2. The review team acknowledge they believe there were ‘serious failings in how both Oldham Council and Greater Manchester Police investigated concerns’ in respect of Ahmed while allegations of child sexual assault were being levelled at him during his employment as a welfare officer. 3. From as early as 2005, GMP was notified of a serious allegation of child sexual abuse perpetrated by Ahmed. The victim, also alerted police that Ahmed had also potentially had contact with a young child who lived outside of Oldham. A crime report was not submitted on the back of this information which GMP said was in line with its working practices at the time. However, the review team says the National Crime Recording Standard in place at the time required a crime to be recorded. 4. GMP also failed to inform the local authority responsible for the child, and also did not notify Oldham Council which was then Ahmed’s employer. As a result of the disclosure that he potentially presented a serious risk to children, Newsam and Ridgway say a full assessment should have been undertaken to assess the risks he posed to any other children he may have come into contact with. But instead ‘insufficient enquiries were made into whether his role gave him access to vulnerable adults and children’. The report goes on to state, “If this had happened it may have potentially avoided the tragic abuse of other children.” 5. In February 2008, Ahmed was arrested for sexual assault on a child, and that July was also arrested on suspicion of abducting two other children. However the review states that neither of the two children made a complaint, and consequently no crime was recorded and no further action taken. When queried by the review team, ‘Oldham Council was unable to find any record of being notified of these allegations by Greater Manchester Police’. And there is no evidence that GMP had notified the council about the allegations, so that it could investigate the risks he may have posed to children he could have been involved with through his job. 6. Oldham Council were also not involved in subsequent ‘strategy discussions’ between GMP and Rochdale Council about Ahmed, and both the 2008 and 2005 allegations. 7. Even after Ahmed was charged with sexual assault at the end of September 2008, no action was taken by Oldham council to undertake a safeguarding assessment, or liaise with the police force. In 2011 he was charged with the rape of the child in 2005, and remanded in custody. Oldham Council was notified by the probation service, and ‘given the profound child sexual abuse, this should’ve been a further opportunity to initiate a full assessment of [Ahmed’s] circumstances but there is no evidence of this having occurred’. 8. GMP requested copies of files about Ahmed and his family, which informed Oldham Council about the child that lived outside of the borough that could have potentially been put at risk. This ‘significant information’ should have prompted the authority to begin a multi-agency strategy discussion to assess the threats presented to any other children. However the review states that the council ‘has never been able to locate any record to explain why this never occurred’. 9. The following year another young woman revealed she had also been abused by Ahmed, and GMP notified Oldham Council of the allegations. The abuse occurred while he was employed as a welfare rights officer. The report states that children’s social care ‘inexplicably closed the case within a few days without undertaking any assessment’. Oldham Council has been ‘unable to locate anything further on this child’ and the review finds there is no evidence of an assessment of her allegations or her vulnerability. “The review team have been informed that the case was discontinued by Greater Manchester Police on the basis that there was ‘no realistic prospect of conviction’,” the report states. “Neither Greater Manchester Police nor Oldham council was able to provide the review team with any assurance that the child’s allegations and vulnerability were appropriately dealt with. 10. “The review team conclude that there were serious multiple failures by both Greater Manchester Police and Oldham council to follow the procedures in place to investigate the threat [Ahmed] presented to children. “If these procedures had been followed, his offending behaviour could have been addressed at an earlier stage and potentially the abuse of his subsequent victims may have been prevented.” Even with what we have dragged out of them, at the press conference on Monday, @MaggieOliverUK shared her position that @AndyBurnhamGM Review Team in Oldham were prevented from accessing the truth. I'm neither a fantasist or in the business of making things up. When it comes to Oldham, there is just no need. Look again at those 10 points and tell me that SHABIR 'Daddy' AHMED, the @UKLabour member and 18 year @OldhamCouncil employee, was not protected. Or why, the at time Mayor will not confirm what his relationship was with the ringleader of the Rochdale Grooming Gang or why he cannot recall if he provided him with a reference. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cover up in Oldham. Which is perhaps why the chances are, because of my campaigning for a Public Inquiry, I will be arrested yet again for sharing what I have. What they do to me makes no difference to me. My townsfolk know me for the man that I am and history will judge me more than any prison cell they put me in. My ask of all of you that have taken the time to read what I have posted is simple. 1. Help me share the truth of what happened here. 2. Ask @AndyBurnhamGM why he refuses to support a Public Inquiry into the cover up of the grooming and gang rape of little White girls in my home town of Oldham?

I hope everyone has had a good Xmas. With January right around the corner here is what I have planned in the New Year. 1) DCMS have promised me a response to my complaint letter regarding the GC in the 2nd part of the month. 2) FRCC emailed me yesterday with my 28 day reminder..

Arsenal have released a statement to acknowledge a lack of diversity in their women's team and say they will work to deliver 'greater diversity' as a 'priority'.

I was always a low spender when it came to gambling. I would estimate that I've bet less than £500 total in my life pre #footballindex and I'm mid 30's. FI made it attractive to put in large sums as it operates like a stock market. 1/3

On the surface Football Index looked like a breakthrough in football betting. But now, after almost 6 yrs, it has gone into administration. Was it a Ponzi Scheme? How could something like this happen? We spoke to @index_dave to get a first hand account 🎧podfollow.com/football-today
