If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.

Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚

For You. For Grace. For Ian.

Valdo Calocane pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Three counts.

On the grounds of diminished responsibility.

He was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order.

Four independent psychiatrists examined him.

All four concluded that diminished responsibility applied — that his paranoid schizophrenia substantially impaired his ability to form rational judgement.

The judge accepted this. The CPS accepted this.
The court accepted this.

The families have never accepted this.

And today, with the oral hearings of the statutory public inquiry concluded, Emma Webber stood up and demanded that the government address “the undoubted miscarriage of justice” — now, before the inquiry reports next spring, because action does not require a report to be justified.

She is raising something the British establishment will not discuss honestly.

The diminished responsibility defence did not come from nowhere. It was the product of a mental health system that diagnosed Calocane, sectioned him four times, was warned he might kill someone — and then lost him.

It was the product of a police force that had a warrant for his arrest and failed to execute it for nine months.

It was the product of a CPS that received expert evidence and accepted a plea that spared everyone — the NHS, the police, the courts — the full exposure of a murder trial.

A murder trial would have required the full, public ventilation of every institutional failure.

Every missed warning. Every ignored section. Every month the warrant sat unexecuted.
Every decision that left a dangerous, diagnosed, violent man free to walk the streets of Nottingham.

Manslaughter spared them that.

And Barnaby Webber’s family must live with the outcome.

Emma Webber has asked for a meeting with the Prime Minister, Attorney General, Home Secretary, Health Secretary and justice minister.

The government has no legitimate basis to refuse.

The inquiry has confirmed catastrophic failure.

The sentence has never satisfied the most basic test of justice.

And the families have waited three years.
Enough.

Since 2022, 3,000+ federal sexual assault cases involving Uber drivers have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation - a mechanism courts use for systemic harm, not isolated incidents.

In 2023, a jury awarded $8.5M to Jaylynn Dean after she was raped by a driver Uber had internally flagged as high-risk.

When does London ask the same questions?

Other cities in Europe regulate app-based private hire services to protect their taxi trades. London’s iconic Black Cabs are world-renowned, yet the least protected. With 107k PH in London, the numbers are startling!

Needed to take a Black cab from the West End to @thecityofldn this afternoon

Great to meet @Tonycornick1 who got his green badge last year after 10 years of doing the knowledge - never give up!

Discussed the problems that restrictions at Bank Junction are causing ❌

Reducing availability in the City and especially Bank area ❌

Restrictions need to be lifted for:
✔️ women’s safety
✔️ mobility challenged and equality
✔️ businesses and a competitive Square Mile
✔️ visitors and Destination City

It’s common sense 🫣
