    Hugh Orde

    Current affairs seems like the appropriate place for this thread.


    What sort of man uses his own wife and son's 'support' as a shield to deflect criticism of his own adulterous behaviour with a junior colleague?

    Seems like poor professional ethics coupled with moral cowardice.

    A rather unsavoury topic and perhaps you should provide a link to what you are talking about, if it is worth talking about at all??

    Frankly, I suspect loyalist collusion.

    Far. Too. Many. Jokes.

    If I could mass-sterilise the planet, I would. Seriously.

    Orde's private life has no consequence on how he does his job (that I can see anyway) and it's none of my business.

    His inability to do his job properly and in an "apolitical" way do have a consequence on how he does his job though.

    He had a bit on the side, oh and a child to her also.
    If adultery was illegal he'd be in trouble but as it isnt it wont be deemed important.

    The Rev David McIlveen Free Presbyterian minister said: "Hugh Orde should consider resignation if his private judgments affect his public judgments and I believe they do. You can't just separate the two.

    "I do believe the revelations weaken his position as far as public perception is concerned and he will need to consider what his future with the PSNI can be."

    A report confirming systematic and barbaric colusion emerges, implicating senior ex-RUC officers, and perhaps elements of Britains hierarchy, and the new PSNI chief shapes as to appear to not be in the humour to help cover up their crimes.
    And janey, a story emerges that he has a love child, and suddenly his position appears unstable.
    Hmm, Im not a conspiracy freak, but this puzzles me.
    Ill bet anything that this story was known to his paymasters before his appointment. Id imagine a nsensitive political and military posting like head of Ulsters police would come with some serious background checking by the British security services.
    Im imagining that its no accident it has suddenly emerged in the public domain.

    I beg to differ. If a man can lie to his own family, then use them to defend his behaviour, that says a lot about his character.

    Shagging a junior colleague impacts upon how he does his job; as does being irresponsible enough to leave her pregnant.

    I can't believe I'm in agreement with a Free Presbyterian minister on this! But there ye go - I have to listen to my conscience.

    Maybe we should concentrate on our own back yard before criticising Orde:

    Didn't our own Taoiseach use family problems and his children's support as a shield to deflect criticism not so long ago?

    And this were about dodgy donations from business men, their appointment to state boards, and taking handouts for making speeches as a serving Minister for Finance.
