Leicestershire, Leicester, Rutland, Police Crime Commissioners, Hustings, candidates Sir Clive Loader, Suleman Nagdi, Sarah Russell, photographs


Sir Clive Loader, Conservative, Suleman Nagdi Independent 
Sarah Russell Labour and Mrs Green Editor Rutland and Rutland 
and Stamford Mercury.


Suleman Nagdi MBE

A very good candidate for Leicester, not a clue about Rutland issues and he admitted this. A lot of mentions about police stop and search.

He spoke about his about community and his experience of building bridges.

he said he has been a critic of the police on many levels and also praised them                    


 Sir Clive Loader 

A business like personality, said he was approached by the Tories to stand for them. A mistake in my view.
he went on to say he would be impartial and non political, A member of the public raised this issue.
I question why would a political party support a candidate if they don't want anything in return?

Sir Clive spent night on the town and understand why his son enjoyed Leicestershire University

Sir Clive Loader any fool can spend money. He would keep the police precept down 

Sir Clive Loader Tory acknowledges resources are thin 



Sarah Russelll Labour

She is also a City Councillor in Leicester and the Deputy Mayor. Comes across as a nice person.

Sarah Russell does not think the expensive role is a good one but rather than stand on the sidelines she decided to stand.

Sarah Russell lists her experience working on partnerships working with police    

Sarah Russell from Lake District but loves Leicester and wants to help make others lives better        
                   

I concluded that all three candidates had one or two relevant skills. Despite this I don't think any of them 
have the skills or experience to takeon such a huge responsibility.

They mentioned themselves this job covers a area that is currently covered by ten MP's


Chief Inspector Mark Thomson was present 
along with a lot of other police personnel


Mrs Green Editor of The Rutland Times and Rutland and Stanford Mercury


Very nice lady who seemed to lack experience when it came to chairing skills.

the local police inspector Kam Mystery at one point interrupted the meeting and miss the point of a question
and became very defensive. As chair she did not challenge him.

the meeting was also interrupted by the Tory campaign manager who just want to clarify a few points.

A member of the public accused her of sitting in the Tory pockets.

I think she should have kicked both men out :-)
