david
the point i am making is that the post did not need additional money, i thought the idea was a good one but clearly cannot now be filled as any normal teenager would have the same or worse on their social networking sites.

She is/was the Youth Crime Commissioner, semantics again Tom.
Let's see if you can back up your assertion Tom, you said "she'll be a hard act to follow" - what do you base that on considering she was yet to start?
The media (don't you just love that catch all word?) are irrelevant in terms of acceptability, the pointless job simply shouldn't exist. Citizens, regardless of age need to understand that laws exist, live within them no problem, break them and face the consequences. Employing children to engage with other children is utterly ridiculous.

Howard, additional money is here nor there, others moan on here about cuts to the disabled, its about public spending and reducing waste.
Your decision Howard - money for disabled or a pointless job for a 17 year old?

My assertion, as you call it David, or the point I was making, will be all too plain to see right from the number applying for this post, if indeed the idea lives on at all. Whether the post is re-advertised and whether anybody will bother to put themselves forward will be the proof of what I 'assert'.
Much work will have been done to whittle the applications down and in discussing the role with the successful applicant.
We shall see.

Well wriggled Tom, you actually said she'll be a hard act to follow when she had done absolutely nothing.

Only £5000 was to come out of Barnes' pay Howard, the rest would come from the taxpayer (though, of course, Barnes' pay is also drawn from the public purse).

I have never asserted that she had achieved nothing, that is the point.

The PCCs freedom to chose their deputies has become a bone of contention since the election, with many employing 'chums'. At least on this occasion the post was advertised and the job worthwhile.

No I had, you said she'd be hard act to follow yet you still refuse to back this up.

i never voted for Barnes when I discovered she was an ex teacher ,Very few of them have a grip on reality
This confirmed when she appointed this kid into the non job.
Wouldn't surprise me if she didn't give the kid a big taxpayer funded on your way bung.

David, you must be one of those who think a hammer is a good enough screw driver.
Clearly Paris Brown was the correct tool for the job, and because her replacement (if any) will of necessity have their suitability skewed to suit the chattering classes and away from being a close fit to the task in hand, be less able to fulfil the promise of the post.
This is akin to a Political Party parachuting-in their favourite to replace a local worthy of the chance of election.
Not a bridge between Police and youth or Party and populace, but a mere front.

So any teenager who doesn't post racist and homophobic comments is not
"normal"?

i would prefer to sign a petition to get rid of ms barnes, the cuts are inevitable and quite laughable when senior police officers tell us that front line policing will not be affected.

Police commissioners investigated over electoral fraud claims...
"Two recently elected police and crime commissioners are being questioned by the Independent Police Complaints Commission after allegedly lying about where they were living when they were elected.
The police watchdog confirmed it had begun investigations into North Wales PCC Winston Roddick and Hampshire PCC Simon Hayes following "referrals".
The pair are being investigated for electoral fraud after it was alleged that both lived outside the police force areas they were elected to represent on the day they were elected, according to the Mail on Sunday. If they are found guilty new by-elections may have to be held..."
