I concur with all comments made by Simon Tilley. However, the cost of this hearing and the recruitment of Adderley and the new Chief Fire Officer Nicci Watson is down to Stephen Mold. He needs to be called to account by the present Commissioner. Both Confirmation Hearing which I attended, Mold repeatedly said that their were his choice. This despite Adderley CV and Watson being under investigation.
While Beggs KC was right this is bordering on satire, listening to it makes you want to laugh for how gullible Adderley thinks people are to fall for these lies upon lies.
The whole family just make it up as they go along but lack the wits to remember what they have lied about.
The deeper issue is that someone this profoundly stupid uttering and relying on such preposterous lies, can only have approached his police work in much the same way, bending rules and evidence with no regard to if this was credible or not.
If and when Adderley is sacked tomorrow, I fear this will not be the end of matters, it will just be the start of a much bigger can of worms.
I think Nadia confirmed this in her article, final written warning, demotion or sacking. I cannot see how he could command any respect or authority if they do option 1 or 2
It seems extraordinary that his CV wasn't checked at the time he was appointed. Surely it can't be that difficult to verify that he was a naval Commander rather than an Able Seaman?
Every question answered throws up several more. If his CV and record WERE correctly checked against the details provided, his age and length of service would immediately stand out as being impossible. One thing is for certain, corners were cut, favours were granted and strings were pulled, with we the public being vastly short changed by his appointment.

What will the sanctions be?
