PCC candidate scandal – what scandal? ITV keeps schtum, BBC covers it

ITV covering the final three of six candidates for Police and Crime Commissioner – including Conservative Alison Hernandez.

Not a murmur about the fact that she is one of the people being investigated for alleged general election fraud connected to the Tory “Battle Bus” expenses. Or that if she won she would be able to fire the Chief Constable who would be investigating it!

YYYAAAHHH – BBC Spotlight covered it!

Fascinating.

?…. ? …..

Election time Communication purdah is NOT an excuse – it excludes matters of important public interest.

  1. Watched her PCC piece to camera a little while to. Came across a nothing but party placement who will care for nothing bar Tory policy.

  2. Presumably we are in some sort of purdah period where media need to take a neutral stance.

    But if Alison Hernandez has any sense of honour and decency she would remove herself from the election – she must know that her candidacy is tainted and that she would have no credibility if she is elected.
