My Take
Brian Paddick's path strikes me as unusually substantial. Born in Balham and Oxford-educated, he joined the Metropolitan Police in 1976 and rose to deputy assistant commissioner before twice running for London mayor as a Liberal Democrat, eventually taking a seat as Baron Paddick. I respect the integrity of that arc: from the beat to the political arena, reforming institutions from within rather than simply wielding authority. People who move through the ranks on principle and then step into public life are, to me, exactly who we need in the open. That kind of principled toughness is genuinely worth honoring.
