YOUR correspondent Charles Nunn (Mailbox, September 27) makes some very interesting comments regarding the police and crime commissioner's appointment of a new deputy as yet another Labour Party internal placement.
In reality he should not be surprised because in the socialist Republic of Merseyside no alternative voices will be accepted other than those of comrade Rotherham, his acolytes and their Corbynite activists.
Having more than 30 years' experience in Merseyside Police, including senior roles in the National Crime Squad and Serious Organised Crime Agency, I stood for the post of police and crime commissioner last year.
I was runner-up, but because I am so supportive of local policing I decided to apply for this allegedly non-political post of deputy PCC.
Having worked with Jane Kennedy previously I knew we could make a good team in delivering outstanding policing.
Given the "experience" of the successful applicant you will be unsurprised to learn I was not even given the courtesy of an interview, proving yet again Labour's lack of transparency.
It is good to know 1980s Liverpool is waiting just around the corner!
