Fake Rear Admiral 09:15 - Nov 14 with 1622 viewsNthQldITFC

Man suspected of being fake high-ranking admiral at Remembrance event investigated

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgy42yjn1xo





Anyone got any thoughts on who this might be? He looks in stance, to me, a little like a chap who has recently lost some other baubles and handles.

Or is it Paul Lambert? "Ah played on some really big ships, don't ya know."

Apparently he has history.

The name certainly isn't on the list of K/QVRM recipients. Neither, so far as I can work out, is that of any living Rear Admiral (and it's only been awarded since 1999).

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

It feels a waste of time and money to investigate the chap, especially as no tangible harm has been done.

Plus, I thought the armed forces didn't necessarily have an issue with people dressing up for un-earned ranks, and wearing un-earned medals?

Yeah, but it’s different when someone born into privilege wears medals.

Whilst I very much dislike Reform, there is an irony in the publicity of this:

"Conservative Town Councillor Xavier Turner, who witnessed the entire incident, said: “I came along to pay my respects. I do not wish Remembrance Sunday to be hijacked as a political football.

“We were all in disbelief over what the Reform candidate was doing.”"

I think the BBC overlaid Trump's face on the Admiral but got cold feet after other news caught up with them.

Absolute waste of the police's and the courts' time.

I'd wager any sum of money that this was not what the legislation was intended to cover when it was drafted.
