Wonder what’s changed since this morning when she insisted she wouldn’t be resigning?

Have the Met Police realised that they have to investigate themselves due to knowing all about No 10s party’s when everybody else was complying whilst forsaking loved ones?
 
Meh, fuckwit and bent copper quits another twat will get appointed, the MET will still be a shitshow with some very dodgy policing, government will still go unpunished.

Cressida Dick and her role in the killing of John Charles de Menezes

CRESSIDA Dick's first official engagement on the afternoon she became the Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police was to attend the funeral of PC…

She was in charge of an operation where an innocent man was executed. That alone should have been the end of her police career. But it seems that there is no deterrent to being incompetent or even a criminal in the police force.

Unless you commit the ultimate crime of stealing a Jaffa Cake that is. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...paying-90p-too-little-for-charity-jaffa-cakes

I’ve read the article and Dick was cleared of responsibility for the tragedy. She’s been an uninspiring leader of the Met who lost the confidence of her bosses.

After the City Vs rags Yaya semi final, I was chatting to some experienced police officers who said they were going on retirement because the Met wanted cheaper, younger officers. The officers were content to retire after many years of service. The Met was happy to ditch experienced, skilled coppers to balance their books. In an organisation knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing, it’s no surprise that they have been a shambles.

Hopefully, the Met will have a better leader via the next appointment but there’s plenty of hypocrisy from the political paymasters. Khan accepted Hamas at London political rallies and we see the sort of nut jobs Bojo has inspired with the attempted attack on Starmer.

It is said she rose without trace.
 
ts not just the met though - my local force burns through Chief Constables and these are just some of the issues in the last few years

2007 – DC Steve Pennington – conviction for drink-driving, jail term and termination payment[edit]​

It was reported that Detective Constable Steve Pennington, who was convicted of a drink driving offence in 2000 and jailed for four months, had been granted a £500,000 pay-off by the force garnering much criticism from members of the public and anti drink driving campaigners.[25]

2012 – Racial discrimination and malicious prosecution[edit]​

In April 2012, Cleveland Police admitted liability for "malicious prosecution" and were ordered to pay out over £841,000, one of the largest compensation sums in UK police history. The court was told former PC Sultan Alam was "stitched up" by fellow officers after he launched industrial tribunal proceedings in 1993, complaining of racial discrimination following a series of incidents that included a Ku Klux Klan poster being left on his desk. Cleveland Police admitted that officers suppressed evidence that lead to Mr Alam being wrongfully imprisoned for conspiracy to steal motor parts and enduring a 17-year battle to clear his name.[26] Mr Alam, who was, as of 2012, considering a position in public office, did not believe that the force had improved and stated that racism had gone "underground", with ethnic minorities being denied the same opportunities as their white colleagues.[27]

2012 – Chief Constable Sean Price dismissed for 'deceit and misconduct'.​

In October 2012 the force's chief constable, Sean Price, was sacked after being found guilty of deceit and misconduct. He was dismissed from his £190,000 a year job (one of the highest rates in the country for a chief constable), having been suspended in August 2011 on full pay.

2013 – Damages awarded to solicitor for false imprisonment​

In May 2013, Cleveland Police agreed to pay a settlement of £550,000 to James Watson, a Middlesbrough solicitor who sued them for false imprisonment after being detained for almost 30 hours.

2019 – Chief Constable Mike Veale resigns after referral for "serious allegations" of misconduct​

In January 2019, Chief Constable Mike Veale resigned after being referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) on a matter of "serious allegations" of misconduct.
