Another Walt? and a Chief Constable at that!
I was contacted by a chap in New Zealand about someone who claimed to have been flying Lysanders into France with agents etc. The French gave him the Legion of something or other but when I researched the guy's record, he was still in training in Canada on VE Day!! More recently, I was introduced to a 'Spitfire pilot' (complete with 'tash'). On asking a few simple questions, it became obvious that he might have been a pilot but certainly not of the flying type. I didn't expose him but if ever I saw him out and about, he did all he could to avoid me.

John Beggs KC who represented those re Hillsborough is going to be grilling Adderley, this is going to be entertaining to watch. The quote about Beggs from chambers says it all
“he is probably the best cross-examiner outside the Criminal Bar” and that “he is so respected that it is normally a fight between authorities and defence lawyers to see who can approach him first to represent their clients.”

I was there and it was embarrassing to watch the scale of the lies.
He didn't know why he lied about his age, his service was extended from 2 years to 10 as this was an error because he filled forms out incorrectly. His listing a degree from a college he applied to and got rejected was a misunderstanding as it showed ambition listing what he wanted to do, but misunderstood on his CV that he actually did it.
Apparently all his leadership he talks about was not in the Navy but when he was put in charge of the sea cadets when he joined in 1976. Yes his leadership of a regional police force was honed from his experience when he was 10 years old.

A South Atlantic Medal, awarded to British military personnel and civilians for service in the Falklands War, that Mr Adderley had worn on several occasions and claimed was his brother's, is "not believed to be a valid medal", Mr Beggs said.
Oh dear.....

The fact that this Clown is ‘my local Chief Constable’ makes the matter even more frustrating when we learn that he has been suspended on full pay for so long.

Thanks for sharing - oddly enough it shared the same GMP that recently cleared the Red Queen for allegedly dodging a bit of Council Tax and allegedly not paying Captial Gains Tax?

Point of order, surely the GMP did not clear her of either of those offences?
They were matters for HMRC to decide.

My local mayor, note hes mayor of the biggest garrison town in Australia.
Claims he operated with the SAS as a signaler when he was reservist for 5 years at Anzac day
Asked by media for his service number, couldn't remember.
Later comes out he did 12 month training as a reservist, 6 months as active reservist before no longer attending and then 12 months absent before getting adminstratively discharged. Also while looking into this found he lied about his 2 university degrees

It gets better (or worse)
The S Atlantic Medal that he wore, which allegedly was his brother's, "he gave it to me when he emigrated to Australia in 2008" was a forgery - we knew that - but was not even applied for by his brother until October 2023!

What amazes me is the selection panels this chap will have sat before. It appears their simple arithmetic is somewhat lacking. He joined the Police at age 25, yet claimed to have spent 10 years in the RN. He also wasn’t old enough to have served in the Falklands War. Do these people completely lack the basics?

.... and now reports are coming in that he has, as everyone watching thought he would, been found to have committed Gross Misconduct, but is still suspended on full pay. Options are apparently No Action, Formal Written Warning or Summary Dismissal.
I have to say I'm a little puzzled as to why the first 2 are even on the list. I would have thought that as a senior representative of the Constabulary the third option would be followed by a the immediate fitment of a set of handcuffs by the most junior member of said Constabulary and transport to a secure facility awaiting formal charges & a criminal trial with the prospect of significant time to serve, loss of pension and recouping of dishonestly obtained salary. Or, am I out of step with the rest of humanity once again?
