Ferret thought that somehow we had all been transported to a parallel universe yesterday, when an article appeared in a number of publications including the Daily Mail and The Sun newspapers.

Article from the Sun newspaper

A LIBERAL Democrat councillor and former mayor is being investigated over claims he posed as a decorated war hero.

Pete Jackson, 65, wore the Queen’s Gallantry Medal and bragged of Falklands and Northern Ireland service.

He dressed as an Honorary Lieutenant Colonel for Remembrance Sunday.

Thought to be on holiday in Jamaica, Pete Jackson has quit as a Lib Dem and Councillor. He claimed he graduated from Sandhurst academy and was in the Royal Military Police’s Special Investigations Branch.

Veterans branded him a Walter Mitty after an investigation revealed he was not in the Falklands and had no bravery medals.

There is no mention of him in the London Gazette official records. Photos also show his medals wrongly positioned.

The Royal Military Police Association said it was unable to substantiate his claims.

Does it remind you of anyone?
