Ha!
So basically we’ve offloaded our security to a member of a force that colluded in killing large numbers of the citizens of Northern Ireland.
Catholic civilians..
Will resign after 3 years because he’s been stonewalled by all his assistant commissioners
my bet – gone within 12 months
250k a year too.
He has sworn an oath of allegiance to a foreign state. Now he will swear another to a different country.
He was also MI5s liaison man in Belfast for years.
Seeing some talk on Twitter that internal investigations have been suppressed under this fella up north?

The interview was in three stages apparently.
Evening wear, swimwear and singsong/ poetry reading
That was probably considered a major plus on his resume.
One fuppwit after another… surely there was better than him to choose from.
Of course..
Unfortunately Gloria Hunniford was busy.
Very unwise appointment. I can’t see him commanding respect, which is just one crucial aspect of the job.
