A privilege to attend @sussex_police Chief Constable Awards with @peterjamesuk. The incredible stories of outstanding achievement put negative media coverage in perspective. We should be proud of 99.99% of our police service - their professionalism & humility inspires.

The @England match last night shows why I say never leave early. 0-0 at half time, then 5 goals & a red card! My @brightonargus article today discusses exactly this - fans miss magic moments by ducking out early. The beautiful game's greatest gift? You never know what's coming.
