In effect, the people Sadiq is unhappy about. So tit for tat.
I should keep my good ear open while driving listening to the radio The plod do stick together afterall they are a team even though there is some dodgy coppers Like you say tit for tat , surprised that got through the filter
Revealed: Dame Cressida **** 'quit the Met after being given ultimatum by Sadiq Khan to sack officers involved in Charing Cross police station scandal or risk being suspended herself'
The Met Commissioner announced she was quitting the country's top policing role last week after losing the confidence of the Mayor of London. While Mr Khan categorically denies threatening the outgoing chief, Dame Cressida is said to have spoken of it in a video call last week, where she explained her departure to more than 100 officers, the Times reports. She told them how the mayor was left furious by the revelations from Charing Cross, which exposed violently racist, misogynist and homophobic messages (inset) exchanged by officers based at the central London police station.
I don't believe Cressida D1ck was very good at her job. But I do have considerable sympathy for the nature of her departure.
It is not easy running a force of some 45,000 people. The structure of the Force has changed out of all recognition over the last 20 years, mainly due to politicians (of all sides).
There are always going to be tensions between older and younger workers. Older Force are often very traditional in their outlook, both in policing and life. Younger ones tend to have very different attitudes, not least because they have entered a Force with radically-changed priorities.
A 61-year-old gay policewoman is in a better position to understand that than an outsider (either Mayor or Home Sec) who needs to be re-elected. And better placed to steer those changes, and those attitudes, in a more positive way. Rather than the knee-jerk instant "fixes" demanded by politicians.
Meanwhile, the position that needs to be filled looks deeply unattractive. Underlined by the fact that it is believed that the majority of the other, most senior, positions are also unfilled.

There is no doubt that it is a very difficult job. I would agree that she didnt do it well. The Met, and the Police Force in general seem to lurch from one controversy/disaster to the next. Each time failing to provide an explanation, as they are unable to comment on an ongoing investigation, and there is always an ongoing investigation. We could include other organisations in this, including Childrens Services, and The Government, to name but a couple. I dont see that it is fair to blame the leader for the actions of one officer, as in the Sarah Everard case. Although there was some criticism of the vetting process. She could be rightly blamed for the actions of officers at the Sarah Everard Vigil.
What surprises me is that we seem to continually wait for a disaster. Then the leader says, we cant comment, lessons will be learnt, and it wont happen again. This is meant to placate the public, until it happens again, and it usually does. There are many examples like the abuse of young children, resulting in their death, grooming gangs, etc, etc. If The Mets vetting process was inadequate, then why wasnt it reviewed as a matter of course.
Our lives have dramatically through technology. Yet the police seem to lag behind. For instance internet fraud has become massive. I believe I heard a figure of 7,000 cases per day. Of which 96% remain unsolved. The Government dont even want to include them in their crime figures. A mere 1.4% of rape cases result in a charge. Not a conviction, a charge.
If you assessed the police purely on the above you would have to conclude that they are not fit for purpose.
We seem very slow to modernise in this country. The other day somebody said the NHS is the worlds biggest purchaser of fax machines. Prompting some action. Only being able to charge such a small percentage of rape cases did not happen overnight, nor did we go from no internet fraud to 7,000 cases per day in a short space of time. The operations of any large organisation should be under constant review.
Going back to Cressida **** her response to a number of issues has seemed to be ineffectual. The Partygate u-turns seemed indecisive. Her claim that they dont investigate retrospectively, was silly. I still cant see how police officers at Downing Street differ from the rest, in respect of enforcing the law. Her response to some of her officers misconduct has seemed inadequate.
The Met needs a strong leader that is prepared to root out unsuitable officers at all costs.
