He only apologised to police officers and to veterans, not the wider public who paid his wages and in whose interests he should serve. Having been caught lying and misrepresenting his career, he nonetheless seems to think he has done a good job. He hasn't. He has brought this important office into serious disrepute.
By the way, can he still draw his considerable police pension?
Mr Adderley says “Thank you to all of you who have been on this incredible journey with me.”.
I wonder if he’s referring to the journey to the South Atlantic to help liberate the Falkland Islands, or his journey to the pinnacle of his police career achieved by misrepresenting his background. I would guess that anyone involved on his “incredible journey” must now feel betrayed, sick and ashamed of the support that they gave him.
Mr Adderley quite clearly cares for Mr Adderley, anyone else is collateral damage that he just accepts as a consequence of his determination to rise to the top.
You are not a nice man Mr Adderley, there are plenty like you, but it’s satisfying when one of you is exposed for the sad little man that you seem to have been for most of your life.
Having met Nick Adderley on a few occasions he always came across as an honest, intelligent and straight-forward man. I am grateful for his apology to those who must feel terribly let down by his actions, especially his colleagues, veterans and the people of Northamptonshire. He is, clearly, a complex and fallible human being, much like the rest of us.
The chair of the disciplinary panel was very wise when he said that Mr. Adderley had a good story to tell in rising through the ranks to become a Chief Constable. Why did he need to embellish this story by claiming to have served in the Falklands and Northern Ireland?
Is this an extreme case of imposter syndrome? Feeling so unworthy of the trust that has been placed in you that you actually become an imposter?
I hope Mr. Adderley has people around him who can give him the loving support he clearly needs as he faces an uncertain future.
Like Mr. Adderley, I love Mark Twain quotes.
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.
An uncertain future on a pension, most people would give their right arms for. I don’t think we need “ lose sleep at night” worrying about Mr Adderley.
An uncertain future housed at His Majesty's pleasure. It is quite possible that CPS will bring charges. I know that some police who are dismissed lose their rights to a pension.
But the "good story" that enabled Adderley to rise through the ranks was based on his lies. It is entirely reasonable of the public to expect the highest standards of those in office but time and time again in Northants these standards are not being attained. Adderley, Mold & Nunn to name but three.

It's not only his head that should be rolling!
Absolutely Gerry!
Mold come to mind.
