Well done Benyon for raising this disgraceful miscarriage of justice by Thames Valley Police, and presumably putting local people out of work.

http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article...articleID=11515

This seems to be based on unproven allegation of disgruntled female ex employee.
Sisterhood acting in harmony against a nasty male boss?;
the course of action suggested by TVP so Wessex could continue is frightening.
Talk about George Orwell.

I hope they have legal redress, though we poor taxpayers end up footing the bill.

Interesting same day we see that local sex & violent crimes are rising disgracefully.
Roll on when we can vote for local police chiefs as in USA;
current incumbent no doubt suffered positive discrimination in winning her appointment.

Great they you bring this to everyone's attention, shame you have to spoil it with the last line though.

It does seem strange, I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Can you actually speak English?

Please also actually read the article rather than leaving spurious comments with no knowledge of the case.

A bit harsh, considering it was a simple typo "they" for "that". He was querying whether TVP would choose a Chief Constable based on sex rather than merit, as the OP was suggesting.

I, too, was wondering why the title had to mention the irrelevance that the Chief Constable happens to be female.

While tenuous, I don't think it is irrelevant.

I think the Words 'Kangaroo Court' come to mind. The TVP should concentrate on catching real Criminals....
