What do retired Harrier pilots do for a job?
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
TH, salary depends on the size of the force rather than area etc. Our force is about 1100 in one of the largest counties so the winner (?) will only get £65k. Good incentive to increase police numbers.
Now there's a thought. Instead of preserving jobs for the boys at the top, aka RAF plc, more boots on the ground could lead to a bigger load of dosh.

MC, or perhaps not. Still only one result so far. Strange they are so slow as there can't be that many to count.

Is that a barn growing out of the left side of his head.....I quite liked him and I think a bloke of his integrity and with his work ethic will represent the Counties most effectively in this role - has he won yet

Bladdered, at the moment only Wiltshire is declared. While he was 'elected' with 62% of the vote, actually only 7.4% of the electorate actually selected him as their first choice.
Less than 1:10 is hardly a mandate.
Turnout in Leicestershire looks like 16% - similar to Wiltshire - with almost 20% in Rutland and 19% in Leicester.

Words on the loss of the Harrier ... not many "celebrated" I'll bet 
Fully agree, although I'm just happy to celebrate that the ACM, who mentioned the Harrier being involved in "a plethora of other operations", actually seems to know the correct meaning of "plethora" ...... or does he?

You are mean ... poor chap will need a little extra dosh to eke out his paltry 4-star pension.....
4-Star salary, between £165 284 and £185 184, depending on "Scale Point" (excluding CDS who gets more: £238 123 to £252 698 actually)
4-Star pension, between 45.4% and 50% of salary, depending on years served.
Net result: 4-star pension between £75 038.94 and £92 592.00

Teeters,
But I'll bet that £92K is a lot less than the pension arrangements for any civvy who ran a business of circa 40,000 staff and a turnover of £4Bn!

Did he actually run it though, or did things just sort of happen?
The only sort of communication I ever saw coming from on high concerned themselves with edicts about MOSS, protecting information, fitness tests, etc.

As someone who has known Clive for all his Air Force career, I wonder if anyone can ever satisfy the need for positive leadership in public/military service. A good bloke with a truly impossible task. Sad to see personal axes being "ground".
I wish him well because after this start, the public clearly don't care too much for the new role.
Back below the parapet.

I never knew the chap, but I knew others that were up there with him and I doubt they would have had a bad word to say about him........especially in public!!!!
Good luck to him

Am I being cynical, but isn't this all just another layer of bureaucracy adding yet another layer of pen pushing well paid busy bodies.

NL, supposedly the PCC replaces the PA so in theory near cost neutral.
Like that excellent Poll tax it will be spung to best advantage by who ever spins best.

PN spot on.
These were of course never another set of party political appointments, discuss.
Does it actually surprise anyone that a former CAS is a Conservative candidate ?
Astonished that the "turnout" was as high as it was

Nutloose I agree with you. Here is a copy of my reaction this morning:
And I thought the PCC elections was all about voting for something to do with the police, not voting for yet another representative of a political party……jobs for the boys!!!!! And they are only being paid £70,000 a year after approx a 7% vote to get them in power (quote BBC news). Well we can afford it in these tough times. They are aving a kin laugh! Friday morning rant over.
I just get annoyed at personal attacks at people on this website. It seems to be the norm these days. It is one thing to criticize a faceless establishment and it is one thing to have some banter against somebody who is known on the website. But it is another for certain posters to launch a personal attack on an individual.
Some of the comments on this thread are the kind of thing that I would expect to hear at a frustrated women’s coffee morning.
