  1. And so it starts …

    Laybah Corn Fed Grunters, Muppets and Clowns queuing up for an “owd ladz not lassez” pint-n-sarnie-n-fag and hey presto, another Laybah muppet joins the Laybah Police-n-Clown Commishna.

    Stinks like a blocked earth closet 😦

  2. Not a trace of a job here. not a skerritt 😦

    http://www.southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk/About/The-Office.aspx

    All in the interests of openness, transparency, justice and fairness, you understand, why have Laybah got a head start on this non-job and no-one else?

    Has he circulated this to the Lib-Dems, Conservatives, BME organisations, VCF organisations, local Job Centres?

    It’s not even listed on da Police-n-Clown Commishna’s web page – http://www.southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk/About/The-Office.aspx

    This has all the hallmarks of integrity of a threepenny-bit-ring used car salesman with permed hair, fake tan and gold toilet chain around wrist 😦

    if he does the same of other PCCs (Lab, Con, Ind) who have already proposed a Deputy, yes.

  5. I think an ideal Deputy in this circumstance would be someone who could actually do the job. Much like the post itself. Too late for that to happen, but Gillian Radcliffe would be a fantastic deputy and would certainly keep Mr Wright on his toes.

    • Well, thank you for the vote of confidence. Something tells me that, like my application to be an independent member of the Police & Crime Panel, any attempt to get involved would be firmly blocked. I don’t think Mr Wright would see me as the ideal partner and, to be fair, the feeling would be entirely mutual. I’d only want to be a deputy PCC to someone I trusted and had confidence in. It’s important not only to support your boss’s plans but to have faith in his or her integrity and that would start with a transparent and fair recruitment process. So I won’t be submitting my CV.

    • My bets are on Cllr. Amy ‘Barron’ Rushforth for this post. She has been a close friend and political ally of the PCC for many years. He has to start paying his dues to these people. That is unless he has to resign before the Spring…many hurdles to go through before then such as Mr Vaz and his commitee and he has to actually do the job without being able to hide behind his RMBC Mafia firewall. He is on his own in this role so any mishandling or incompetence will be there for all to see.

  6. We can only hope that Mr Wright chooses well because it seems to me he has put most of the key responsibilities of the PCC role on to this deputy’s role description. I can’t help wondering what he’s going to do all day. Oh, I forgot, he has other responsibilities and interests doesn’t he? Why should he earn his Β£85,000 when he can pay someone from the public purse to do it for him?

  7. I’d be interested to see how Mr Wright will deal with corrupt police officers. Will there be transparrent and open investigations from now on?
