A fantasy story by Nautical Nick Adderley

Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

Article 7

All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.

With that somewhat dry establishing legal quote, I’m asking the following

When can the law be disregarded and broken?

The most common and simplistic answer is whenever you feel like it if you’re the person enforcing it!

Case in point, our story today revolves around Admiral General Aladeen Adderley aka Chief Constable Nautical Nick Apathy and his most recent (and as yet unreported) bit of rule breaking it has been discovered that he indulged in. Said rule breaking took place while he simultaneously adopted a heavy handed approach in his role as Chief Constable, directing his officers to arrest and fine people who broke the same laws.

For anyone not familiar with Nick Adderley, he hit the news headlines in September 2023 for parading around wearing a Falklands medal, something awarded to those brave servicemen who saw active conflict in the 1982 war of the same name.

No sexism intended by only mentioning servicemen, the first women did not serve until posted to HMS Brilliant in the 1990 Gulf War.

Being born on 20th September 1966 and thus only 15 years old when the war ended on 14th June 1982, this created an obvious contradiction of how Nick Adderley as a child, could have been engaged in war time activity in Argentina, while his classmates in Manchester were studying for their O levels.

For those not of a certain vintage wondering if an O level is the opening verse to an Avicii song, this is what GCSE’s used to be known as, way back in the mists of history.

The wearing of the medal raised questions about why he was parading around with this and other medals on his tunic for wars he never fought in. Unless you’ve given everything in service to your country, this probably won’t resonate with you until you speak to those who have. Those brave people freely give everything, often including their very lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms we take for granted each morning. Those fortunate enough to survive often carry around a lot of baggage, living with the horror how so many of their fellow servicemen died. Being awarded a medal is both a symbol of pride but also reminds them of all their colleagues they lost.

Therefore for someone to cheapen that loss and wear a medal, parading around for the kudos it commands, without ever having made any of the sacrifices to earn it irks the servicemen somewhat, referring to said fantasists as “Walter Mittys.”

Adderley’s initial response to being caught out over this, was to lie claiming his older brother Richard “Rick” Adderley gave him the medal when he emigrated to Australia in 2013. This did not seem to make a lot of sense, as I myself also previously emigrated to that side of the world and I was unaware of a custom or tradition that when moving house that one gifts ones achievements to relatives.

Regardless of the reason this was totally debunked when pictures of Rick Adderley online in 2020 showed him wearing the same medal, inferring Nick’s medal was one he found, perhaps utilising his bin dipping skills while searching through people’s belongings as he threated during lockdown 2020? Who knows.

The fact he was also seen in 2012 at a funeral with the medal on his tunic the year before Rick moved abroad, further exposed the flaws in his argument about how he obtained it and thus contradicting why he was wearing it.

As media interest grew, the media and public did the basic leg work that Northamptonshire Police Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold who appoints the Chief Constable role should have done, namely by starting to do some basic fact checking of Nick Adderley’s career history.

The first glaring issue was how Adderley seemed to lie at will about his age. In an interview in 2021, he claimed he joined the Police on 17^th February 1992, but despite being born in 1966 went on to lie and claim he was a late joiner specifically increasing his age to be 28 at the time of joining.

While it is easy to forgive someone for being duped by a lie from their own lips, all public records about Adderley, including any identification required when he gained employment in the Police, as well as his Royal Navy discharge papers, would quite clearly show him being born in September 1966 and thus when joining the Police in February 1992 made Adderley only 25 years old, thus impossible to have served “over 10 years” in the Navy as he claimed.

Even Companies House records where Adderley and Mold are both Directors of “Voice for Victims and Witnesses Limited” have Adderley’s correct date of birth. For reasons best known to himself Stephen Mold chose to ignore this impossibility about over 10 years service and publish the above letter promoting this impossible lie.

“Nick stood out throughout a rigorous selection process that culminated in two days of interviews, including a panel to local authority leaders and chief executives.”

The only options to square this circle of how easy it is to lie your way into the Police are that Mr Mold thinks that fraud should not be a barrier when it comes to Cronyism and appointing your friends into high paid positions of power. Or perhaps more worryingly his “rigorous selection process” was graded against the efforts and abilities of a cross party committee made up of Chris Failing Grayling and Diane Abacus Abbott, trying to crunch the numbers and roll out the latest plans for HS2?

Whichever answer you choose, about why a basic check of Adderley’s age to highlight such a glaring error was not addressed, neither reflect the effectiveness of the scrutiny role, and thus the value for money that Stephen Mold provides at all.

In 2014 while holding the rank of Chief Superintendent for the GMP, he attended a security conference in Manchester. Adderley, ever one for showboating, started a speech with an ironic line of “I will be totally honest with you” before going on to do just the opposite. While he doesn’t mention a specific rank, he claims to have previously been a “senior leader” within the Royal Navy before joining the Police. This description would usually be in line with Commander or Captain, further adding to Adderley’s carefully crafted lies.

Momentum of this scandal kept up as in Adderley’s personal statement from his promotion board in 2018 that NN Journal were able to obtain, claimed him to be a Commander in the Royal Navy. The same rank held by 007 James Bond and usually attained after around a minimum of 15 years of service.

Adderley, who can be seen sat next to the skipper, actually joined in October 1984 in Raleigh making his maximum potential length of service a little over 7 full years.

Quite the rapid ascent to “Commander”

Even more confusing is that on his wedding certificate to his first wife Lynne in 1986, he spells Commander with a “G”, gets the vowels wrong and seems to use only one “M”, perhaps this is the Argentine way of spelling Commander after his “active duty” that he also talks about in his personal statement?

Irrespective of this, the personal statement from 2018 was 26 years after he left the Navy, as a Commander so his rank had been earned and his navy career was long behind him.

Adderley is then seen in photos on remembrance Sunday in November 2019 wearing his officer’s cap with pride, recalling his heroic exploits in the Royal Navy, alongside other brave servicemen and women. However, the cap shows his rank as a Lieutenant, not a Commander. You have to either be a special kind of stupid to trip yourself up with such inconsistent lies, or as I suspect is more likely, Nick Adderley is so defective he even fails at being a fantasist, heaping failure on himself by fantasizing about his own demotion.

Most fantasy involves achieving that which one could never hope to in the real world, winning the lottery, dating supermodels, having powers like the X-Men, etc. However in some fictional scenario played out entirely within the confides of his own head between 2018 – 2019, Nick Adderley managed to fantasise some further invented bollocks that caused him to lose his rank of Fake Commander and be busted down to Fake Lieutenant. Whatever the reason, I’m sure Nautical Nick has a tall tale to explain this, going all the way back to his first military experienced gained in The Battle of Hastings.

Currently we are at a place where after sufficient public pressure, Adderley has been suspended while a criminal investigation for fraud in public office takes place. If criminal charges take place then his pension could be forfeit, his salary clawed back by the Treasury with a hefty prison service gifted back to him in return.

So after that whistle-stop tour of the career of Admiral General Aladeen Adderley to truly understand the context, we now need to look back to those times of the second Covid lockdown of 2020.

They say sequels are worse than the original and for lockdown this was very true. The first lockdown of warm summers in gardens following the rule of six, chatting to people over fences and watching Tiger King and “that bitch Carole Baskin” was bearable due to all being a bit new and the weather being pleasant enough to walk around our local park in to pass the time.

The second lockdown of much shorter days, sub zero temperatures sitting outdoors of pubs and cafes, no new movies or TV shows available having completed Netflix, then all culminating in Christmas being cancelled was without a doubt a very depressing time for most.

If you lived in Northampton, in addition to the regular televised Boris briefings, you also had Nick Adderley showboating on your TV whenever he could.

True to form and throwing his weight around about lockdown rules, with his most infamous televised appearance, threatening to set up roadblocks and like any bin dipper of his experience, threatening to start foraging through people’s shopping to check their purchases, no doubt being on the scrounge for any shiny medals contained within that he could confiscate and “award” to himself. He also talks about playing his part, inferring he too is playing his part and making tough sacrifices, much like the slogan we’re all in this together that the politicians used, and we know how well that worked out for them.

Now you will note in the second video at the same Covid briefing, he waxes lyrical about understanding and knowing about the all the sacrifices we were making and how difficult it is. This again never out rightly says it but infers, as one would expect from one in charge and enforcing the law, that he too was following the rules. Leading by example and setting the standard as it were.

As Covid went on, so too did his heavy handed approach to the rules, using his Twitter megaphone like some poundshop version of Donald Trump barking orders at the populace of Northampton.

Here he makes out that he is following the rules by not being able to go out on his motorbike, and is frustrated having to leave it in the garage.

Here he is on 14th November 2020 saying how he will enforce the law around Covid 19.

Interestingly enough, he was not meeting officers who were retiring face to face, seeming to use Covid as a reason. This again kept the narrative going that he followed the rules unwaveringly.

You do not need any reminders how bleak things were when the Tier system in December 2020 resulted in Christmas pretty much being cancelled. The law was somewhat confusing to read with various loopholes around rules on an ongoing basis, this example being about how you could still manage to see friends. The relevant rules of the day from early December 2020 are quoted below.

You can only meet others outside from your household while outdoors in groups no bigger than six, and cannot stay overnight somewhere if it means being inside with people outside your household or support bubble; for instance, staying with another family in a self-catering apartment or holiday cottage would not be allowed. This means no socialising with anyone you do not live with or who is not in your support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.

In simple terms any socialising had to follow the rule of six, meaning only six of you could meet up and only do this sat outdoors, which was truly delightful in the middle of cold freezing winter afternoons and evenings. This of course meant Nick Adderley went hard on what he perceived to be any potential rule breaking, issuing £30,000 of fines in just a single weekend.

The biggest blow came, just days before Christmas. What was very clear was how you could form a support bubble ONLY on Christmas Day and ONLY from a maximum of 3 different households.

In areas in tiers 1, 2 and 3 Christmas bubbles will no longer be across 5 days. Instead, 3 households coming together will now ONLY be allowed on Christmas Day.

This was pretty clear and was not like a credit system where if your Christmas bubble was only made up of 2 households you got an extra day over and above Christmas Day. Even within the support bubble the conditions were still pretty strict on travel.

People in all tiers are also being asked to stay local. You should also avoid travelling to other parts of the UK, including for overnight stays other than where necessary, such as for work, education, youth services, to receive medical treatment, or because of caring responsibilities. You can travel through other areas as part of a longer journey.

“Necessary” reasons include work, education, youth services, to receive medical treatment, or because of caring responsibilities.

This again was pretty clear how the only justification for long distance travel was to an airport, or a necessary journey somewhere some distance away.

So now that horrid memory of what most of us sacrificed is fresh in our minds, I want to show you some enlightening posts made by Adderley’s eldest daughter who lives in Warrington.

The first we have on 23^rd December 2020 during a check in online for a meal at Miller & Carter in Liverpool with her partner and newborn baby. This is not exactly next door, but the meal itself is not what the focus is on, rather the conversation in the comments.

You can see all of the comments where both Adderley’s daughter comments about “Carnt wait to get to my Dads..”

This also has comments from friends “hope you enjoyed ur mealjope you all have a fab christmas at your dads its gonna be magical now with the baby have fun xxx” clearly discussing spending Christmas at her Dad’s.

These comments are date stamped to show they were made on 23^rd and 24^th December 2020 when rules were fully in effect, so there is no possible excuse these were historic comments where plans changed.

Adderley living in proximity to his workplace of Wootton Hall, Northampton puts him at the thick end of 150 miles away from his daughter in Warrington.

These photos showing Adderley in the lounge at his daughter’s house, holding his grandchild. Being only a few months old at this point and common items across each photo, be they Adderley’s clothing, the my first Christmas bib, the elf outfits or the large green box behind the sofa arm, in the background next to the patio doors, all make it very clear when these photos were taken.

The date stamp shows these were uploaded on Christmas eve and therefore do not relate to any Christmas day bubbles that could be formed.

Once you establish how Adderley’s daughter was spending Christmas day with her baby at her Dad’s, with photo’s establishing Adderley’s location at his daughter’s house, you might be wondering why Adderley made the 300 mile round trip to Warrington, just to drive all the way back down to the Midlands again?

Without looking inside Adderley’s head and sifting through all his weird fantasies he experiences in there, we will never know his true motivations, however you list the benefits of an extended journey in his unmarked BMW Police car during a time of national lockdown and how any PNC check by any eager beat PC would mean they wouldn’t dare try to pull him, and if they did his superior rank would mean the exchange would not last very long.

Quite simply it seems that not only did Adderley value his Christmas and his family as being superior to all us lowly peasants, but he made sure to abuse his position of authority in the Police to ensure while his officers were slapping on the cuffs and issuing fines, him and his family avoided the same treatment, because when it comes to someone like Adderley, the law, much like the truth doesn’t apply to him.

He even has the gall to get straight on his Twitter megaphone when he arrives at 3pm, replying to tweets about how to report lockdown breaches anonymously and they will be actioned, while in the middle of committing the same breach himself. He continues this with further Tweets throughout January 2021 regarding ensuring essential travel.

There is a lot more evidence out in the public domain of “Do as I say not as I do, and do not question me at all” with standard puerile comments made, which in hindsight knowing how he was disregarding the rules enter whole new levels of hypocrisy.

I have made my complaints to the IOPC about this, but much like the criminal investigation into his fraud in public office, said investigations are imbued with the same amount of energy as your mobile phone after 3 days at Glastonbury and far less reliability. The sad fact is that given the existing cover ups that Adderley has overseen that I’ve documented, the wider Police cover up culture is at play here.

They will first try to play this down and see if they can cover this up or delay delay delay and kick it into the long grass until the public forget, where they can hush this up years later, or what is becoming infinitely more likely, given how public FOIs into GMP have already have replies claiming to have no records of Adderley’s applications and promotions despite Home Office vetting taking place every 10 years, evidence will be covered up, either by way of being lost, damaged or outrightly destroyed as a means of damage control.

Adderley’s BMW and mobile phone are what will truly betray him, with GPS data from both showing journeys. It is not only his phones, but his BMW with it’s Connected Drive account that connects his car to his phone also has a SIM card in that will ping to every single mobile phone mast it passes. Something Adderley is all too aware regarding gathering evidence in proof of a crime. I’m sure we may see a Rebekah Vardy moment with an agent or aid, dropping Adderley’s phone into the North sea to lose the data. Luckily all the GPS and Google maps data to fry Adderley is not just stored locally on the phone and can be accessed remotely.

While you can ditch a phone with some ease, this is not so easy for a vehicle, being something infinitely more expensive that is far harder to dispose of. Should Adderley hope to erase the hours of 9am to 3pm on 24^th December 2020, he might be fascinated to know that all the tech in his car that just adjusts to driving conditions and notifies him of faults, does so because of the telematics data it transmits it back to BMW to monitor location, weather, driving conditions and various other issues to aid the driver. So should Mr Adderley have notions about his vehicle’s data being destroyed, be that via him doing a factory reset or some other more nefarious way, fear not as all of your telematics data is transmitted and stored to BMW to help us jog your inevitable memory loss about what I am sure you will label as another deeply personal family matter.

Until reading this, you might not have been directly impacted by Adderley’s misfeasance and questionable moral approach to the truth, but I would struggle to find someone not impacted by Covid restrictions during 2020 who did not have their Christmas ruined. Seeing the man so pious and pompous, and revelling in issuing fines and charge sheets where he could, to then so casually disregard the laws when they became an inconvenience to him, you have to start to ask yourself.

In light of his tissue of lies he spun to get into the Police, just what else has this man lied about and what other laws did he disregard when they were a nuisance to him?

Considering the position of power he reached, just consider how many laws he has broken himself or how many other officers he has covered up for and ensured no trace of any wrongdoing remains, given he sits at the top of the tree and ensures his Professional Standards Team supress and cover up complaints for him.

If you do not believe me, then when I repeatedly raised to Adderley about misfeasance amongst his officers perverting the course of justice, one such example being by DC Robinson in August 2014 telling me who to identify in an identity parade, telling me their name, when they were listed to be in court and to go to sit in court to see them in the dock to get a much better current look at them to make sure I picked out the person they wanted for the crime. Something it would be very unfortunate for the officer if there were call recordings of the officer doing so….

Adderley duly ignored this so when I tried to raise a complaint about him in July 2023 and him ignoring and facilitating misfeasance, his attack dog Emily Evans who works under Stephen Mold in the Office of Police Fire and Crime Commissioner, quickly refused to log a complaint about Adderley because reasons.

She even sent me the following link to justify her reasons. https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Documents/Focus/Focus_16_February2020.pdf

However I struggled to decipher what the meaning of “404 Page not found We cannot find the page you’re looking” for was in terms of why Admiral General Nick Adderley was exempt from complaints.

If you’ve gotten to the bottom of this story and feel suitably aggrieved at the level of corruption that exists and is ignored where possible, then I have both good news and bad news for you.

The bad news is I have a whole Misfeasance & Corruption Universe of stories still to tell, each one connected to the last, lets call it an MCU as it were. Sadly none of the featured characters are even worthy of being anti-heroes you love to hate. Adderley is less Horatio Nelson and more Horatio McAllister.

The good news is that while a high degree of corruption and misfeasance is taking place right before our eyes with impunity, these people are not immune to public pressure and procedure. They can swerve the wheel of the journey, but they cannot thrown on the brakes completely. By signing the petition below, you can add your name and voice to the existing crowd, increasing it in size and strength, putting the pressure on the IOPC and PFCC Stephen Mold to follow the correct process and stop frustrating the investigation.

Without suitable pressure these people will happily let Adderley retire with his £165k PER YEAR pension that he cheated from the taxpayer, all funded by your taxes while you contemplate how long to keep the heating on to avoid a bill that looks like your phone number. So before you click off, please do take the 2 minutes needed to sign and share, as every voice added really does make a difference.

There have been a few questions and comments made about my motivations behind exposing Nick Adderley. These are broken down into 2 distinct reasons below:

1. The primary reason is detailed in my other blogs, you will see I was a victim of several crimes, with the most serious being rape that was covered up since 2015. Adderley, when he came to Northants, played a large part in helping to cover this up and after I kept kicking off to Police about their failures, became subject to harassment and a smear campaign by Adderley to discredit me and keep the crimes covered up. Naturally I am motivated to get my crimes actually investigated properly, and the only way to shine a light on the failings and get attention on my plight, is by exposing just how corrupt Adderley and his officers are.
2. The secondary reason is how all the veterans who gave their lives in various conflicts have a skillset I don’t. People with this skillset joined the forces, giving their lives in the Falklands War in 1982. Veterans are naturally angered by Adderley leeching off their sacrifices, but do not have the experience or knowledge to expose Adderley to ensure he is suitably held to account. I DO have the skillset to investigate and articulate matters, so seems only fair I use my skills to help Veterans and repay them for what they gave freely to us all.
