We are absolutely gutted by the decision the High Court has made. We campaigned for so many years and have, with the support of a great many generous people, overcome a seemingly endless number of barriers in what became a quest to obtain a meaningful inquest into our sister Alison’s death. To have fought so […]
22.3.2023 10:51OUR RESPONSE TO THE HIGH COURT’S DECISION…A few years ago, thirteen to be precise (where did that go?), I was fortunate enough to be a participant on a leadership development course run by the charitable organisation Common Purpose. I thought the course was excellent, pulling together as it did people from all levels and many parts of the private, public and third […]
11.1.2021 19:26The finest definition of leadership I have come across yet……because we have forgotten, so let’s stop kidding ourselves. …lest we forget, lest you forget, lest I forget, lest who forgets? I am so tired of hearing this exhortation from people who aren’t fit to wipe the shoes of the millions who made the ultimate sacrifice. As the centenary of the end of WW1 starts to […]
11.11.2020 16:03Lest We Remember…Or is it Market Research and Truth-Telling? Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened — Churchill (the person, not the insurance dog) Over the years I have become more reticent to be honest when I am asked about my qualifications. The reason […]
29.10.2020 11:30WhistleblowingMy name is Tom Bell, I am the author of Lions, Liars, Donkeys and Penguins — The Killing of Alison. These past few months, I have had the opportunity to contribute my thoughts to a review of the justice system in relation to what happens when things go wrong in our Public Services, and systemic […]
12.10.2020 14:22Justice in the UK; a work in progress…I live in Penrith, Cumbria, the home of the UK’s Lake District and the most sparsely populated rural district in England. Cumbria would be the undisputed first choice for a British remake of the Dukes of Hazzard. Apart from being overly cold for the frequent wearing of hot pants, we have most of the ingredients required. Some rough and ready drinking holes, […]
21.7.2020 09:19Public Services in Rural areas; is it realistic to expect them to be excellent?This last month or so I have been posting relentlessly on LinkedIn to generate awareness of the book I wrote about the events leading up to and following the suicide of Alison. Today I was contacted by a contact asking me to refrain from using LinkedIn to share this story. Apparently, it isn’t the right […]
10.6.2020 15:19Failure has many faces…too manyTwo weeks ago I published a book, Lions, Liars, Donkeys and Penguins – The Killing of Alison. The book is an unconventional, honest and deeply personal attempt to bring what has been hidden, into the light for all to see. As imperfect as it is, I am pleased I wrote it; it was such a […]
21.5.2020 15:15Lions, Liars, Donkeys and Penguins – The Killing of AlisonThis July we have launched a crowd-funding campaign to obtain a fresh inquest into our sister Alison’s death. We buried Alison on Christmas Eve 1991. She had stepped in front of a train at Rotherham Station. Alison was a mental health inpatient in the care of the NHS at the time of her death. We […]
1.7.2019 15:32A Proper Inquest for Alison…this Sunday it will be the 12th of August, the start of the red grouse shooting season, known to many in the UK as the glorious 12th. Needless to say, if you are a red grouse the date is probably not listed as “glorious” on the calendar and for animal rights advocates the date is […]
