This is more than a simple ex-wife slandering her ex story. Her comments were very reserved and carefully thought out they are also blunt. As the UK’s highest-ranking muslim officer (one btw, who likes to toss out the race card) he should expect close scrutiny. You can bet we will be watching.

Is Tarique what he seems; a fast tracking, seemingly competent and loyal officer or a scoundrel? Read and decide for yourselves.
