Is the S**t Flying Towards the Fan?

Ominous article in the 'Post' today.

The HMIC inspector for Notts has been accused of trying to persuade Alan Street, the eventual only challenger to JoCo for the Police Authority chairmanship, to pull out of the contest.

An HMIC spokesdroid claimed that all she said was -

"The HMI expressed her opinion that existing people simply changing jobs did not constitute the 'new' leadership called for by the Capability Review."

 as if that was perfectly acceptable.

Of course we all remember that the other candidate Mike Quigley pulled out at the last minute without explanation. When I wrote about this at the time I wondered at whose behest this move was. I think we can now say we have a pretty good idea.

Why does dodgy shit always seem to follow Collins around?

That was a rhetorical question by the way.
