The Director of Public Prosecutions

The DPP runs the Crown Prosecution Service, which makes him an important man. He has tended to be inconspicuous until latter years when political corruption has been so very rife. DPPs have made their very own contribution to crime albeit not all have been convicted.

Keir Starmer 2008 - present
Named as DPP by the Attorney-General, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, QC, a convicted criminal. Scotland got away with a £5,000 fine. Her illegal servant got eight months. Corruption? Favouritism? Just looks like it? Real power is the power to abuse power.

 

Ken Macdonald 2003 - 2008
Convicted drug dealer. Got a knighthood anyway. Knew the right people.

 

Sir David Calvert-Smith  1998 - 2003
Eton wallah. Racist who hates Englishmen. Blacks get a pass but then Smith doesn't live near them.

 

Dame Barbara Mills  1992 - 1998
Her old man helped Silvio Berlusconi, a crooked Italian politician by setting up offshore companies to launder money. Mills signed papers involving lots of money then had to claim that she was a silly little woman who didn't know what was going on. More at Tessa Jowell financial allegations. Ran the CPS badly. Ditto for the Serious Farce Office

 

Sir Allan Green  1987 - 1992
Green was caught soliciting a whore and resigned in 1992. His wife suicided a bit later. He continued with his career however and represented 10 men of the Parachute Regiment during the inquiry into Bloody Sunday massacre when they got 14 kills on men and boys of fighting age.  Green got £1.5 million for it which beats working for a living. A Jew? The Wiki ain't saying. Nor is The International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists

 

Sir Thomas Hetherington 1977 - 1986
Rugby man, with the guns in the Middle East. Appointed by Sir Merlyn Rees who seemed a decent man. He decided to prosecute Jeremy Thorpe who ran the Liberal Party so he wasn't pandering to special interests.

 

Sir Norman Skelhorn 1964 - 1977
He was also appointed by Sir Merlyn Rees. He let Peter Hain, a communist subversive beat a robbery rap. The Liberals were annoyed. So was I. Was he pandering to power? He isn't saying.

 

Sir Theobald Mathew ?  - 1964
Is not very interesting or perhaps it was all a long time ago so everyone has forgotten.
