Another Elaine

The taxpayer has paid for a half page advertisement by Kent Police Authority in today's Tunbridge Wells Courier.

The advertisement tells us all about Elaine Bolton who is a member of the Authority, except it doesn't. It misses out the fact she used to be an employee of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and that her membership is not a result of any election, but of an arcane selection system.

It is an appalling waste of taxpayers money to buy advertising space so that we can be regaled with the information that West Side Story and Chicago are my favourites. Looks like another example of the dross produced by a statutory body's PR department.

Elaine informs us that I'm incredibly passionate about policing...'

Now that I can believe. The Oxford University Dictionary defines incredible as: that cannot be believed; surprising.
