RMP Walt?

Apologies for the source but I did enjoy this story. I post this link simply because the response of the RMPA is an object lesson in restraint and pointed comment. I've seen highly paid barristers who couldn't do as well as the RMPA spokesperson does here:

Ex-mayor who posed as a war hero is a 'love rat', says estranged wife

Peter Jackson, 65, was accused by an online group of making up his service record and wearing medals he was not entitled to including one for bravery in Northern Ireland.

No wings? No Dettol badge? Fail....

2 thumbs up to RMPA, I've never heard of the bloke, I was RMP 86-93. I served in Aldershot with one of the guys who was at the Falklands and had the medal and rosette. I've also seen photos of him at the surrender ceremony.

I'm in no way qualified to comment given that the closest I ever got to Military Police was my late uncle who was a Snowdrop in the 60's/70's. I'm intrigued by the Dettol badge though - what is it?

You’re not getting away with a wah that easily

I knew you were RMP and thought you'd like the RMPA statement. I confess I had a picture of the spokesperson having their tongue firmly stuck in their cheek, calling the bloke a knobhead without using the word.

No wah. I've never heard of it but if I had to guess, I imagine it's something to do with scraping the Dettol logo off the bottle to use as a medal? In much the way people used to use a Newcastle Brown Ale label as a tax disc on their ancient motorbikes, allegedly.

Er, no

 

[Aphra]

Er, no

Hmm. Something rather less innocent and inoffensive would be my second guess, then.

The group found that only three members of the RMP had been awarded the QGM in the last 40 years with one being deceased, another a woman, and the third recipient not being him.

Yup, he deffo doesn't look like Mr. L

Let me help..........

 

[Aphra]

Let me help..........

Thanks for that. I get it now. I'd looked at the Dettol label but it wasn't prompting anything. The perils of being a never served civvy on Arrse!

 

[BossHogg]

Let me help..........

Could even be this one, which is possibly more likely.

Ah yes. As could have been worn by my double glazing 'engineer' who proudly told me about his previous career in the Army. 'I was a marine. You had to pass a rigorous selection to get in. To be honest it took me a couple of goes'. I must have looked impressed because he went on for the next two hours......

Even I can see that he was conned into buying the wrong hat for his assumed rank.

He has certainly got balls walting as RMP, of all regiments, I'd opt for RLC

Because you're a fat cant?

Did he rock up to their quick march? Blasting out "Hey Hey We're The Monkeys"? Would have got away with it then.
