SIMON Danczuk has now been interviewed at Holborn Police Station in London following an allegation that he raped a young woman in
Westminster last year.
Danczuk denies the allegation, and he was not arrested or charged. The police have confirmed that their investigations are ongoing.
It seems that Zed Jameson, a photographer at FameFlynet Pictures, was posted outside the police station with his camera at the time
Danczuk arrived.
It is not clear if Danczuk was interviewed under a police caution, and he did not respond to an invitation to comment.

Danczuk's Office Denies Photo Scam!
A denial was issued by the office of the suspended Rochdale MP, Simon Danczuk, in a letter in tomorrow's Rochdale Observer to charges in a letter last week that Mr. Danczuk 'received ... payments' from The Sun newspaper for 'photographs relating to his (Mr. Danczuk's) private life'. The letter in the Ob. from MR. Danczuk's office warned the local Liberal Democrat leader, Andy Kelly, 'to think more carefully in future before making such unfounded allegations'.
The letter goes on further to say:
'It is categorically untrue to suggest that Mr. Danczuk profited from photographs taken of him entering Rossendale police station in January this year. To suggest that Mr. Danczuk arranged for these photos to be taken is both fanciful and utterly irresponsible.'
The Danczuk Rochdale office team, in their letter, furthermore chide Andy Kelly, and the Rochdale Liberal Democrats declaring in a suitably righteous tone:
'Mr. Danczuk has a right to a private life and finds it regrettable that the tabloid press saw fit to run an article that was in no way in the public interest. It is even more regrettable that the Rochdale Lib Dems have sought to exploit this story for cheap political points rather than engaging in serious debate about our town.'
Now then! Where did I read this kind of talk before? Wasn't in Cyril Smith's autobiography 'BIG CYRIL', where he wrote, pondering the plight of Jeremy Thorpe, that all politicians 'have skeltons in the cupboard'?

Exhibition of Photographs on the 30th Anniversary of the 1984-1985 Miner's Strike by Reportdigital.co.uk
Thirty years ago Margaret Thatcher hoped to transform Britain into a "Greed is Good" society, "The method is economics" proposed Thatcher "but the aim is to change the soul". To do so the Conservative government declared war on the trade unions. They implemented a secret plan to take on the unions one by one, until they came to the National Union of Mineworkers. In March 1984 the government provoked a strike - expecting victory in a few weeks. The strike lasted 12 months. They were to be demonised and discredited by the media. Isolated, beaten and starved back to work - yet despite desperate circumstances and in the face of everything that the government could throw at them, 150,000 miners and their families fought back and very nearly won. In the years that followed, the most productive and efficient coal industry in the world was closed and whole communities were destroyed, wages were widely repressed, industry, utilities and housing privatised and the City of London deregulated... creating the seeds of the crisis we now face.
A small group of photographers stood alongside the miners as they struggled for their jobs and communities and endeavoured to picture it from their point of view. This exhibition shows you some of the best of those pictures.
Monday 8th to Saturday 20th September, 2014

Portrait of Latin Americans in the UK
The Instituto Cervantes of
Manchester launches the exhibition Uncovering
the Invisible: A Portrait of Latin Americans in the UK on the 20th
of March
The Instituto Cervantes of Manchester will for two months hold
the exhibition Uncovering the Invisible: A
Portrait of Latin Americans in the UK. It is a series of 22 photographs
born through the collaboration between the siblings Roxana and Pablo Allison,
which will be displayed in the main hall of the Instituto Cervantes from the 20th
of March.
The project is based on the research by Cathy MacIlwaine at
Queen Mary University London, which under the name of No Longer Invisible: The Latin American Community in London,
collected facts and information about the Latin community in London, which had
been long ignored.
This exhibition brings together the portraits of several Latin
Americans living in the United Kingdom in order to bring these people’s reality
to light and to get to know how they have adapted to their new surroundings. It
also focuses on displaying the diversity of races and experiences of these
people, who contribute both economically and culturally to the shaping of
British Society. To date there are an estimated 180,000 Latin Americans living
in this country.
The opening
of the exhibition will take place at 6:30 pm on the 20th March, and
will be attended by the photographers Roxana and Pablo Allison, Professor Cathy
MacIlwaine from Queen Mary University of London, and Professor Catherine Davies
from the University of Nottingham. The discussion will be lead by Dr Parvathi
Kumaraswami from the University of Manchester.
To request an
invitation for the Opening Day you can write to prenman@cervantes.es

exhibition please write to prenman@cervantes.es

MANCHESTER REIGNS: PHOTOGRAPHS BY KEVIN CUMMINS

Royal Exchange Theatre,
St Ann’s Square,
Manchester,
M2 7DH

Monday – Friday, 9.30am – 7.30pm
Saturdays, 9.30am - 8.00pm
Sunday, 11.00am - 5.00pm
FREE ADMISSION Bernard Sumner (New Order)
MANCHESTER REIGNS: PHOTOGRAPHS BY KEVIN CUMMINS will include portraits of Morrissey, Joy Division, New Order and The Happy Mondays as well as shots of iconic Manchester architecture, such as Hulme Crescent and the Hacienda.
The free exhibition runs at the Exchange’s Mezzanine Gallery from Friday 24 January to Saturday 22 February - alongside the Exchange’s world premiere production of BLINDSIDED by Simon Stephens, for which Kevin has produced the poster image and shot rehearsal and production photos.
One of the world’s most venerated music and portrait photographers, he was described by The New Statesman has having ‘almost singlehandedly created the iconography of modern Manchester.’
After studying photography in Salford, he embarked on a career that was to encompass a wide range of photographic work. The burgeoning punk scene in Manchester dominated his early work and he quickly became one of the premier documentary photographers of the era.
He was instrumental in establishing City Life, Manchester’s ‘what’s on’ guide and was a founding contributor to The Face, the influential style magazine where he won an award for Magazine Cover of the Year.
He spent 10 years as the chief photographer for New Musical Express – the world’s biggest selling rock weekly – where his award-winning pictures were a major contributing factor in the rise of the Madchester and Cool Britannia scenes.
In 1987, Kevin was commissioned by Salford City Art Gallery to photograph 40 famous Salfordians to celebrate the LS Lowry centenary. His personal choice included: Sir Alistair Cooke, Albert Finney, Tony Wilson, John Virgo, John Cooper Clarke, Happy Mondays and Graham Nash. He was subsequently short-listed for one of the premier photographic honours –the Fox Talbot award.
His work has appeared in the National Portrait Gallery, and formed a large part of the NME and Q magazine’s ’50 Best Rock Images of all time’. His monograph MANCHESTER: LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT THROUGH THE POURING RAIN was published by Faber and Faber in 2009.
Kevin is currently working on: a Manic Street Preachers book for publication soon, a New Order monograph for Rizzoli (NY) 2014 and a major retrospective in Buenos Aires in March this year.
His career also included regular work as a production photographer for the Royal Exchange between 1977 and 1987. As well as BLINDSIDED, he also recently worked with RET Artistic Director Sarah Frankcom on THE MASQUE OF ANARCHY as part of the 2013 Manchester International Festival.
A devastating play about families, obsessive love and betrayal, the drama of BLINDSIDED centres on a girl growing up in a battered part of Stockport in a battered time at the end of the seventies. She falls in love with the man who will break her heart into a thousand pieces.
The production runs from Thursday 23 January to Saturday 15 February 2014 and stars Julie Hesmondhalgh - best known for her long-running stint as Hayley Cropper in CORONATION STREET.
