We have just picked this piece of news up from across on this blog which follows the shennanigans of the Keystone Kops alias the Devon @ Colonial Cornwall Constabulary:

Tony Leamon’s bail delayed again!
Tony must surely be at the end of his tether.
In an email to CPW, Tony Leamon said:“I was to have answered my bail today at 3 pm. At 11am this morning I had DC 196 Hampson on my door at 11am delaying the interview until the 31st July.
I AM sitting here shaking like a jelly.
Surely this delaying tactic is against the law!
My solicitor rang up yesterday to confirm the date-which they did.
So I got everything prepared. Now I am delayed to the 3st July at 3 pm.
This is the second time they have cancelled my hearing at the last moment. I am sure such delaying and shock inducing tactics are illegal somewhere, but clearly not in Cornwall.
It will be over 10 months since I was arrested, and I still haven’t been charged.
Arrested, yes. But not charged. I have been interviewed for over 18 hours, have had my computer, mobile phones, paperwork, flags, and John Angarrk books seized, ad still no charge.
I asked DC Hampson why he couldn’t get things organised.
He said it was “out of his hands”.
I asked if that was so, could I be seen by the person in whose hands it was.
Again, he said, it was out of his hands.
The term monkey and organ grinder come to mind.Speak to all later. Please keep emailing the West Briton, and ringing the police station.”
The journalist allegedly dealing with the story is to be found at: gharris@c-dm.co.uk
or her boss at: andy.cooper@c-dm.co.uk
CPW condemn the treatment that Devon and Cornwall police is meting out to Tony, whose only crime is to campaign for what he believes in.
We at the Celtic Warrior also fully condemn the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary aka the English Colonial Police in Cornwall for causing a life of pure misery on poor Tony Leamon. May they rot in hell particularly when on the same day, the plods release this story:

Disciplinary panel for force boss
A senior manager at Devon and Cornwall Police is to face a disciplinary panel after an inquiry into the force's job evaluation exercise in 2005.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said Colin Papworth, interim director of finance and resources, would face its panel.
The force said he had been suspended, but declined to comment any further.
The job evaluation which led to a review of salary scales led to staff protests outside police headquarters.
Chief Constable Maria Wallis, who was also under IPCC investigation for her role in the evaluation, quit in 2006.
No action was taken against her as a result of the inquiry.
Paid fairly
The force backed down over the review which Mrs Wallis authorised and which proposed cutting hundreds of civilian workers' salaries by thousands of pounds.
The force said the pay review had been designed to ensure staff were paid fairly.
The IPCC said a full report into Mr Papworth's disciplinary hearing would be published once proceedings had finished.
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "In line with the police authority's human resources policy this decision has led to his suspension, with immediate effect.
"We are unable to comment further on this issue until any disciplinary action is concluded."
What is going on with this joke for a fucking police police force ?
Any answers, suggestions, comments please to us at the Celtic Warrior:

Latest regarding Tony Leamon - Kernow's answer to Michael Collins
RECEIVED TODAY:
Comrades - please support and spread this news which has just arrived in my 'in basket'. The media and press in Cornwall are weak and with a few exceptions made up of second rate journalists who are afraid of making waves with the authorities and which are police controlled. For too long the police have breached human rights in Cornwall and have walked free. Evidence of that to be found at:
http://cornwall-police-watch.blogspot.com/ and http://www.pinkpasty.blogspot.com/ (the fascist colonial police in Cornwall are taking action against Mr Lidbury by veiled threat to have him remove his website - the truth is too much for them you see) which points out that they are above the law, any law !
To the police to whom this e-mail is copied:
This material is forwarded to you and your must retain it and disclose it including its inserts and internet links under the terms and provisions of the Criminal Procedures and Investigations Act (CPIA).
It MUST be forwarded to the officer in case and recorded on the appropriate schedule (MG6 C) and disclosed both to the Crown Prosecution Service and to the lawyer representing Mr Tony Leamon who has been subject of an injustice at the hands of the fascist and government directed colonial police who cover Cornwall in a most corrupt manner.
Thanks, Tam Graham
Material received as follows:
CELTIC LEAGUE - PRESS INFORMATIONBAIL DATE FOR LEAGUE MAN ON TERRORISM CHARGE
Celtic League campaigner and Kernow branch treasurer Tony Leamon,will be appearing for at Camborne police station this Wednesday (2ndJuly 2008) to answer his bail, almost 10 months after he was first arrested on 6th September 2007 on suspicion of terrorism.
To give support to other victims of the British state's over enthusiasticuse of anti terrorist legislation, Mr Leamon has made a short video film of himself, for the Celtic League, to rely some of his feelings of having been on police bail for this extended period of time.
As will be seen from the video footage, Mr Leamon is in good spirits and has kept his sense of humour throughout, despite a very low period earlier this year when the pressure of the ordeal drove him to make a suicide attempt. The Celtic League has been campaigning on Mr Leamon's behalf sincehis arrest and the arrest of other members of the Cornish cultural and political movement at the same time. Mr Leamon, along with all of the other people arrested, were perplexed as to why the police had picked on them as part of the police investigation into the Cornish National Liberation Army/Cornish Republican Army.
Needless to sayMr Leamon and the other people arrested all maintained their innocence and denied ever having taken part in any criminal activity in the furtherance of their beliefs. With no or little evidence to go on,the police had to release the other arrestees from their bail andnow it is only Mr Leamon who has been kept hanging on.Mr Leamon has been due to answer his bail on 3 separate occasions(not including his arrest), but each time, after lengthy periods of questioning, his bail has only been extended further. Now Mr Leamon is hoping that Wednesday will be the fourth and final time he will have to visit Camborne police station on this matter. The Kernow Branch of the League are planning to hold a protest outside Camborne police station on the afternoon of the 2nd July and are requesting that all his supporters who are able to attend the protest to turn up at just before 1500. Those who are unable to attend the protest are encouraged to phone the Devon and Cornwall Police central number on 0044 (0) 8452 777444 (remember to include the 0 if phoning from the UK) and ask to be put through to Camborne police station, regarding Tony Leamon, not forgetting to state where you are calling from. Alternatively,emails can be sent to mailto:Police.Enquiries%40devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk with the same message of support. Supporters are requested to enquireafter Mr Leamon's welfare, who is registered disabled and has a debilitating disease. If Mr Leamon is bailed once again, he may have to forfeit attendance at the Celtic League's AGM - due to be held in Dublin on August 16th 2008 - in accordance with his bail restrictions. If this is the case or if Mr Leamon is charged, the League may hold a protest outsidethe British Embassy in Dublin on the weekend of the AGM.

TONY LEAMON - Brave Celtic Cornishman still subject of ill treatment by Colonial Police
More news regarding Tony Leamon, Celtic activist from Kernow who is now compared to a Michael Collins type figure after refusing to be called English, all this courtesy of the site:
http://cornwall-police-watch.blogspot.com/
Tony Leamon - still on bail!
As readers will be aware, yesterday should have been the day that Celtic League activist Tony Leamon answered his bail at Camborne police station.
The Celtic League ran this story on their news pages, thinking that Tony may at last be taken off bail for lack of any evidence against him. A demonstration outside Camborne police station had been planned by Branch activists and so had a campaign of coordinated activity to contact Camborne police station asking about Tony's welfare, by email and telephone, from across the world.
However, just before Tony left his house yesterday, two police officers called round and told him that his bail would be delayed until 2nd July 2008.
Whether this was a calculated attempt by the police to avoid any negative publicity in the press for themselves or whether it was because they can find no evidence whatsoever to charge Tony with, we will probably never know.
The CPW feeling is that the truth lies somewhere between the two scenarios. What is clear though, after this bail date, is that Tony’s support is growing at an incredible rate. The longer Tony is on bail the more people around the world are becoming aware of the injustice that he is being subjected to by the Devon and Cornwall colonial police.
Emails of support have been coming in to the CPW team and others from as far afield as USA, Canada, France, Spain, Australia and Malaysia, in addition to the support base in the celtic countries.
Yesterday, after the visit from the police, Tony contacted his solicitor to complain about the length of bail that he has now received and to see if something could be done about it. His solicitor told him that the police can keep him on bail for as long as necessary and that it is only the time spend at the police station, being interrogated that actually maters. By July Tony will have been on bail for 10 months and has been interrogated for 18 to 20 hours.
After arrest the police can only keep you at the police station for a maximum of 24 hours before being charged. However, solicitor friend that Tony has also been in contact with told him that he had never heard of such an extended bail period before.
This weekend at the Annual Rio Grande Valley Celtic Festival and Highland Games in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, a flyer about Tony’s treatment will be distributed to visitors from the Cornwall stall and people will be able to add their name and contact details to a distribution list to be kept informed about further developments.
Also a support fund has been set up for Tony to cover any legal costs. Also see this link for further details.
We at the Celtic Warrior recognize the great courage being shown by Mr Tony Leamon in the face of the Colonial police who occupy Kernow. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you and as soon as news of the support fund is announced, you can rest assured that we shall be contributing as should all good Celts ! United we stand against the Imperialists !
