Man suspected of being fake high-ranking admiral at Remembrance event investigated
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art
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). |  |

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. | |
