In 1957 he joined the Blue Doctor Pseudo team founded by Supt Ian Henderson in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, and helped in the search for the senior Mau Mau leader Stanley Mathenge, who was believed to have sought refuge in an underground hide-out called a dakki. Franklin and his unit were ambushed by a Kikuyu reception committee, who, having been tipped off by a Mau Mau spy, loosed off 50-odd rounds from their sub-machine guns at close range. Mathenge was never found, and was later reported to have been strangled by one of his own men. He added, “He is the Butcher of Bahrain. Through him and his 34 years in Bahrain, the numbers killed were much less than those killed in the past 20 years. But the basic rules were established by Henderson.” Tall man warns men when to put on rain coats. They have time to put them on before rain reaches them. Whatever Henderson said about being dissatisfied with what he was asked to do – a claim he repeatedly makes in his communications with the Foreign Office, where he presents himself as a moderating influence – his actions tell a different and more complex story.
Sermon about the rich man. A boy rides with a rich man. Goes into church and leaves his coat lying on the sled. When the parson preaches about the rich man who went to hell, the boy calls out, “Then he took my coat along!” He thought he was the king of his [domain],” says Franklin, as Henderson engineered scares to cement his usefulness to the regime. “He was in the process of building up an empire by imagining or presenting a threat that perhaps didn’t exist in the way he was presenting it.” After Bahrain’s massive pro-democracy protests in 2011, which saw at least 51 deaths from police brutality, a former Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner, John Yates, was recruited to help reform the Bahraini police. Derek Franklin's story is a tale of adventure and personal success and told with modestyand humour. I found it enjoyable reading.

The middle of three brothers, Derek Peter Franklin was born on March 8 1931 at Downham, between Bromley and Catford in south-east London. His father was a guard on the London Underground while his mother was a dressmaker. After Mallory School, he trained at the School of Engineering and Navigation in Poplar, and at 16 achieved his ambition of joining the Merchant Navy. Between 1951 and 1953 he undertook National Service with the 1st Commonwealth Division in Japan and Korea, before joining the Kenya police in 1954. The Pied Piper’s cloak is a coat made out of scraps of material. The ‘pied’ (multicoloured) nature of it tells the reader that he is too poor to afford an impressive coat, and instead has to make do with fashioning something out of scraps. His coat marks him out as a scavenger, and this is partly why the councillors completely underestimate him as a threat. They wrongly assume that if this guy can’t even afford his own proper coat, he can’t be very good at coming after money. To be honest, it is a bit of a mystery why the Pied Piper hasn’t managed to find himself a proper coat until now. I deduce he just really liked the pied coat, or it suited him well to be underestimated, maybe because he was a psychopath who enjoyed seeking retributive justice on those who had wronged him, acting as a Medieval Dexter. Ad from Argosy Magazine November, 1922. Moleskin Coat – 50 Cents Down. Modern consumers have access to cheap clothing, due to the slave wages received by factory workers in poor countries. But my grandparents lived in an era when a coat was like furniture — so expensive that you could pay them off in installments.

Joseph was Jacob’s favourite child. Translators debate the nature of this coat. It might’ve had many colours, or it may have been a long robe with sleeves. It may have been richly ornamented. In any case, safe to say this coat marked Joseph out as special, and was not the sort of thing you’d wear to work. Like all impractical clothing, this indicated that Joseph was a bit too special to work.

But of course Stephen King also likes a good horror raincoat. You probably know the one.

Yet, Henderson oversaw Khalaf’s solitary confinement and 90 days of detention without trial. When Khalaf met Henderson a second time in 1976, after another arrest and release, Henderson approached him as he sat at his usual café in Manama, Bahrain’s capital, and informed him that a NLF member’s home would be raided that night.
How did I hear about this?” Franklin asked me rhetorically. “Ian tapped the telephone of the commissioner of the police, Jim Bell. So he heard all the conversations between Sheikh Isa and Jim Bell… I know it because he invited me into his office one day and said, ‘Derek… I want you to listen to this.’By the early 1950s London responded with brute force, forcing some 1.5 million people, nearly the entire Kikuyu population, into detention camps which have been termed “ Britain’s Gulag ”.
His greatest success for Britain was the capture of Dedan Kimathi, the last significant Mau Mau general, in 1956. Henderson was not present in the field that day, as he was in Nairobi entertaining a visit by Princess Margaret, the Queen of England’s sister. Kimathi was subsequently given a show trial and hanged.

However, there were limits to Henderson’s power and his reputation nearly crashed around him in December 1973, after Bahrain held its first parliamentary elections since gaining independence from Britain two years earlier.
