Dan's hasty departure from the police has more to it than meets the eye. I don't buy the Savile investigation excuse.

Well there you are your Dad had also reasons to want to leave the Police but ones that had no bearing at all as to how good he was as to his job.
It is to his credit too that he was a member of the Police force.

Dan maybe should have had something lined up and maybe he has,we don't know.
he couldn't however have something lined up to start if he was also going into BB for a possible 2 and a half months.

Neither you or I can know for sure if the Saville element to him leaving the Police is right or not, he has stated that however and his word is good enough for me.
There is nothing anywhere, even from his former bosses in the Police to indicate he is not saying what was so as to that.
I can then accept his account of things very easily in that case.
