Boris Johnson broke the law and remained in office. So did Schoolboy Sunak come to think of it. Why should anyone else lose their jobs for breaking the law if those at the top don’t?
There seems to be no disciplinary process in place. He’s now claiming he was being bullied by political opponents
Good to hear, hope they throw him out on his ear. Honestly starting to question if these Crime Commissioners are so great. Most of the time they seem to be more pro-corruption than holding the police to account.
Tbh I’m really not sure what he’s done wrong. He reported a leaflet with a minimum legal size imprint (font 3, 1mm tall) which he apparently missed, to an election officer as being a leaflet without an imprint. It really doesn’t make sense to me that this would be anything but a genuine mistake (else, he was what? trying to force the police to investigate only for them to see the imprint also?), and he also didn’t even contact the police himself, the election officer did that.
I’m sort of hoping they find him a cell to remain in.
Until Tories remove ALL the laws that allowed this abuse to happen then we should assume each Tory MP supports this corruption.
If these allegations are true and to the extent that the PCC would need to step down then I don’t understand why this isn’t clearly misconduct in public office.
He clearly was acting as a public officer, willfully misconducting himself and damaging the pulbic trust in the office of the PCC without reasonable excuse or justification.
If he reported one thing to the electoral commission and reported being threatened on what’s app by calling 101 then I don’t actually think he’s done anything wrong.

The Police on the other hand………..

They’re the ones showing massive corruption here. Senior figures should be sacked over this and anyone involved who didn’t question it should get a written warning at least because there’s no fucking way this is the response they’d give to the average member of the public.
