A silly media row about racism just had to figure in the riots’ post mortem. Was the Tudor history expert David Starkey racist on Newsnight when he said: The whites have become black. A particular sort of violent, destructive, nihilistic, gangster culture has become the fashion. And black and white, boy and girl, operate in [...] read our review »

Good,
I like Orde, he’s forward looking.
Went to Uni with him at Kent in the 80′s.
Funnily enough, he became Chief of Police, I wanted set up a special dept to bust cult-leaders who prey on the vulnerable, and operate outside the Law.
Think I might send him a copy of
The Hain Pier Brighton 1827, a masterpiece by John Constable as a gift.
What dya think peteb
well I’ll take that as a wicket pete, clean bowled.
I think that overall, he has done a great job in transforming the force (service).
An excellent Chief Constable who leads and inspires the troops. But let’s hope he stays in his trousers from now on
Is it anyone elses business other than Hugh and his families if he chooses to have an extra marital affair?
I think not – give the man a break and acknowledge him for his efforts to the PSNI. His private life should remain private – he has done a dam good job in the PSNI with alot more to come from him within the next three years I am sure!
