The idea of Brian Paddick being in a gold suit conjured up images of Big Bird from sesame street, colourful, obtrusive and featherweight but still his speech was funny and well delievered.

Fiyaz by all accounts was off message and one particular paper indicated that his campaign ended when he began speaking.

Chamali was adjudged by the press to be impressive and wooed an all too familiar flip flop audience but she needs to work on on looking older and tougher under intense questioning!

Paddick still has to convince us he is not undercover, as in the case of most of the top brass, especially that of the Met,
they trust nobody and nobody trusts them. Fiyaz must continue to differentiate himself as that is his strongest point. Chamali needs grey hair and a height extension.

The second round of hustings will see Brian return from holiday and book writing, Fiyaz fresh from the Cab and Chamali from court, what JOY !!.

The party desparately needs to select a candidate who is siginifcantly different to the other two. If we do not as in the words of Lord Rennard, ” The air war will have no fire.”

Ironically, we have been gifted an opportunity to attack the Tories while Dave is running for ideas but be warned, Boris is a fool but with popular appeal.

Let us not forget Policemen are not top of the guest list for dinner invitations so let the party have a real voice and give the favourite, Paddick, an ideal christmas adoption by the conservative party. They need paddick more than we do and Boris would welcome him as his number 2 as afterall they wanted him to be their candidate too !!
