Paddick confident of Sir Elton's support
Friday, December 21 2007 |
Elton John and David Furnish will be supporting the campaign of the only gay candidate for Mayor of London.
Brian Paddick, a former Metropolitan police Deputy Assistant Commissioner, told LBC radio of his celebrity backers on December 19, 2007. During his time at the Met Mr Paddick was the UK's most senior out gay police officer.
In November 2007 he won the nomination of the Liberal Democrats for Mayor of London. Speaking to Nick Ferrari, Mr Paddick said that if elected he would alter the role of Police Community Support Officers in order to free police officers from paperwork and return them to frontline policing.
The 49-year-old faces incumbent Ken Livingstone and Tory candidate Boris Johnson in next May's election.
