From me me me me me me Harrier me me's Bio
Experience of steering an organisation through change: I have been faced with the need for deep organizational (shafting) change during my RAF career, not least in my last appointment when I brought together 2 separate HQs (separately totaling some 3300 personnel), melding them into a single HQ of 2300 personnel without any reduction in necessary outputs.
And we all lived happily ever after!

Dunno what Harrier pilots do but all the Canberra pilots I ever met run second-hand shops. Usually under fancy names like Art Gallery or Fine Antiques. Same difference.

I wonder If he will use his own version of leadership and get a significant percentage of his workforce to resign after an attrocious self-centred speech, like he did at lyneham back in 06/07?

It's still valiantly trying to get there. However, the terminus seems to change when the train gets close. What also doesn't help is occasionally the train has to stop because the driver hasn't spent enough time doing pointless repetitive shat.
I would batter my tongue with a steak tenderiser before voting for that man.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Unless of course the centre of gravity is Leicester and different from what we might expect.
I suspect that the major population centres in Lincolnshire, like around the prison, may vote differently from the unspeakable in the rural areas.

He'll get to show us gash amateur civvies how to do it properly of course.
As a harrier pilot he knows all about policing, and once a policeman he'll know everything about everything so he's the perfect candidate. This is Nobel prize territory - the invention of perpetual motion in human form; producing infinite output from an original content of zero and with an unlimited amount of hot air as the by-product.

LOD the Plod
I think LOD is a natural, inspirational leader who always left an outfit better than he found it. He has the uncanny knack of making people feel really good about themselves, their chain of command and their Service.
He would never let the occasional display of the human condition colour his judgement for the rest of his life and he would most certainly not make written mention of how a chap's wife contributed, or not, to Service life in formal appraisals.
I also believe that the BBC is a well-governed, well-led organisation and that its News division is scrupulously impartial, especially on the EU, the Euro and man-made global warming.
Don't have nightmares.

Well as he is in my voting region tomorrow and I won't be voting for him.
Interesting combinations
Paired with his campaign agent you have
Loader Bowles
And paired with his media manager you get
Loader Fuchs
Reading some of his blurb about putting through cuts etc you have
Loader Cr*p
There seems to be better candidates

I had the (mis)fortune to have to listen to his diatribe of utter twaddle back in 07. Apparently if I didn't like the train to Glasgow I should get off. He didn't mention if it would stop. Best of all, he banged on about the Typhoon to a room full of rotary dudes. Feat of comprehensive @rse. A number of people considered throwing themselves under his train. Tw@t.

Given the predilections of VSOs to have skeletons rattling around in cupboards (channeling Harding, Petraeus etc etc) one wonders what will eventually come out about this individual.

He claims to have flown the Harrier throughout his career.
I now understand where they get this notion of superiority. Mere mortals had to start on Grob/Bulldog then progress through the JP, Gnat/Hawk/Hunter route to the Harrier, but he's always been a Harrier Pilot.
Wow!

You are mean ... poor chap will need a little extra dosh to eke out his paltry 4-star pension.....
Dunno what they get in Leicester & Rutland, but I believe the PCC here in Teeteringshire will be on about £75K ......
