Ray Mallon states there’s a concentrated effort to challenge democracy in Middlesbrough "and replace it with something much more sinister" aka Ray Mallon's stooges Barry Coppinger Police Commissioner & Andy McDonald MP.
BARRY Coppinger has become the first person to publicly declare an interest in becoming Cleveland’s first police commissioner. The Middlesbrough councillor has thrown his hat in the ring and announced he is seeking to be Labour’s candidate. He will now go into an internal process which will ultimately select the party’s choice for the November 15 election. The 56-year-old, who lives in Linthorpe, said he had decided to seek the nomination after much deliberation and discussion. Dated March 2012
