Peter Bottomley's Connections.

Weightmans made a formal complaint to the BSB against the Peter Bottomley supported journalist/barrister 
Download the entertaining judgment at the BSB here.
Weightmans is currently representing the Metropolitan Police and have gone silent since discovering that they are defending the actions of the man they complained to the BSB about :).


I have always found Peter Bottomley to be a fascinating man. On one hand he is a self made supporter of whistleblowers. As with most men, there is a different aspect of him to observe in detail. Lets call this a facet of his personality. 

Life  isn't so simple for Peter when it comes to me. Infact it is quite difficult given both his wife and daughter are linked to me in some way. 

1. First, we observe the public document on Peerage

Hon. Cecilia Peggy Evelyn Horestone Bottomley1
F, #373564, b. 1 September 1969

     Hon. Cecilia Peggy Evelyn Horestone Bottomley was born on 1 September 1969.1 She is the daughter of Sir Peter James Bottomley and Virginia Hilda Brunette Maxwell Garnett, Baroness Bottomley of Nettlestone.2 She married Matthew Waltham in 1998.3
     She was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge University, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.3 From 1998, her married name became Waltham.3 She was a consultant gynaecologist and obstretician.3

2. These are my links to his relatives. One is the fact I sued the General Medical Council in 2004 and with litigation papers flying before that. Details of that are here. During litigation, the General Medical Council and its Trustees were sued. One of those Trustees was none other than the daughter of Peter and Virginia - Dr Cecelia Bottomley. See evidence from the GMC. The actions involved in 2004 in court related to the matters in the year 2000-2002. By way of her role as Trustee, Cecelia Bottomley would have been aware of the issue. Bottomley Junior was privy to most of the dealings between the General Medical Council and me. This includes the final order by the court. The General Medical Council had alleged mental health issues on the strength of one typographical error. They later had to pay a settlement and confirm that they had no concerns about my fitness to practise. The GMC also issued a letter of apology. 

3. Then there is of course the role of Virginia Bottomley. Her role in the neglect of individuals of Ward 87 preceding my time of whistleblowing in 1999 is self evident. Most of the problems on Ward 87 can be placed on her doorstep at the Department of Health.  

4. Peter Bottomley and Private Eye are intimately related. Indeed, there are numerous emails flying between them on a regular basis. They may refute this but I have the evidence. There is of course the minor issue of the emails flying around to the head of the Bar Standards Board written by none other than the eloquent Peter Bottomley Esq. A gentleman always emails more than once in matters of great importance.One can understand and appreciate why Private Eye did not want the issue of Ward 87 and the machinations of the General Medical Council [involving his daughter] to grace their pages. Afterall, Private Eye's allegiance to Peter Bottomley MP is a settled matter between gentlemen. 

So we ask ourselves many questions - what was the role of Peter Bottomley in making a report to the Metropolitan Police in July 2011? Apparently, I had written to Parliament, written a few emails and  critical websites. The local police confirmed that the complaint had no merit. Following the failed arrest attempt against me,on the same week, Peter Bottomley wrote to the General Medical Council about me asking them for further data. That is a slightly odd thing to do for an MP on the same week his BSB sanctioned colleague trotted down to the Metropolitan Police and spread a tissue of dishonesties.

We ask ourselves the question again - is he a protector of whistleblowers or does he wish to silence them?

In conclusion, Peter has a motive of course and it is a fine thing being an MP with all the influences that the Conservative Party is able to provide.

If the Metropolitan Police are reading this - they should congratulate their lawyers for reporting Mr Bottomley's colleague to the BSB last year. Such a good pedigree of lawyers who go by the name of Weightmans these days :). This was the result achieved by Weightmans

"Andrew Bousfield between 28 October 2007 and 23 February 2008 held himself out or allowed himself to be held out as a barrister, pursuant to paragraph 201 of the Bar’s Code of Conduct, in correspondence with MJ solicitors dated 29 October 2007, undated but around 6 November 2007 and 14 November 2007, for the purposes of supplying legal services to a member of the public, namely P, without having complied with the practising requirements in paragraphs 202(a) to 202(d) of the Bar’s Code of Conduct which by virtue of its nature, degree, repetition and/or combination with the matters set out in charge 2 was so serious as to be likely to bring the Bar into disrepute"

One simply has to congratulate the Metropolitan Police for having such good taste in lawyers. There is of course a minor issue though, having reported the above gentleman to the Bar Standards Board, they have the difficult task of defending his actions in court :). One has to smile from a distance only because if this wasn't so serious, it would probably be quite a thigh slapping comedy. 

Of course, at the end of it all, one should remember that I am not a struck off doctor and neither have I ever had a mental health assessment. Yes, all these were speculated to the police by parties known to Peter [ Reference - Police documents].  What is interesting is the similarities in the events of the GMC described in [2] and the events last year at the Metropolitan Police. Can we say "smear campaign" :)?

Even though Peter dear may wish to run around to prove these fabrications, it is never going to be possible no matter how powerful he is. 

Until next time readers......... Ciao.

PS In the event anyone wishes to arrest me, feel free to do so. Am happy to write a feature on it.  The truth will never be removed no matter how much dirt is flung in my direction. All parties will understand this in time.
