This blog reported in August that Barry Phelps had sent out a mass mailing to former councillor colleagues in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: http://barryphelps.posterous.com/is-phelps-back-to-his-old-tricks (19 August 2010). Of notable interest were those colleagues who weren't included on the mail out, but also those who were. One of the recipients of the hairy at the heel, ex-councillor's email, was the recently enobled Baroness Shireen Ritchie. For those unfamiliar with Shireen Ritchie, she is the former step-mother-in-law of the pop singer Madonna, step-mother to Guy Ritchie, and was a Cabinet Member for Family and Children's Services at RBKC. She is also on London Councils' Children and Young People Forum.
From the evidence that this blog has seen, it is, therefore, surprising that Baroness Ritchie received at her private MSN email address mail from the depraved Barry Phelps, he with unclean hands who takes sexual pleasure from the images of young boys. If this mail was unsolicited, why has she not blocked him or asked him to desist? It is this blog's position, that if she is still involved with Barry Phelps, at whatever level, this could be interpreted as condoning his depraved sexualisation of children, and this compromises her credibility on matters of child protection issues. As the saying goes, if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
If Baroness Ritchie would like to comment on Barry Phelps' actions, including the sending of images sexualising children, on this blog, we would welcome and publish any statement she would like to make.
