I read with great dismay that Cressida Dick has been given a two year eaxtension to her contact as commissioner of "The Met."
Given her record in post and previously as a commander it is surely poor judgement by Pritti Patel and others to do this.
I read the other day that Lord Blair the previous incumbent says that all this is sexist.It is not,she is not up to the job and to use a phrase previously quoted,End Of.

She should have been booted out a long time ago.

The problems began for the police when they changed from being a "force" to a "service". Their aim is the prevention and detection of crime. Unfortunately none of the best thief takers rise to the top any more because they do not fit the profile required for a senior police officer whereas Ms Dick embodies all the requirements.
The public want big, burly police officers patrolling the streets at night, removing the vermin as necessary. It helps them sleep well. It wants some of those officers to gain experience, get promoted and help manage the force. Unfortunately most of the people who seem to rise to the top are totally unsuited to police work but are ideal as politicians or social workers and their main qualities seem to be as purveyors of political correctness and wokery. That's why you get people like Ms Dick in charge. And now we always will.

Quite so, Danny.
I have a nephew who wanted to join via the accelerated promotion scheme. Unfortunately his degree was not good enough to qualify but he joined nonetheless. He hasn't made it to Chief Constable but is now a DCI in his early 40s. As well as ordinary duties he has served his time including some on traffic, on Royal Protection and Counter-Terrorism. He is a superb copper and would be an ideal senior officer. But he won't get there because he has similar views to me.

I know - great news isnt it
Adrian Dunbar in Line of Duty talks about failing upwards, and this could be an instance
altho - - - I have to say, in the Manchester Areny inquiry it is the police who say - that you go in after clearing and ignore further risks, and the fire men who say: the risk is always there, so staying at Phillips park and not answering the phone is in fact the optimal strategy
and judgy baby - sir John Saunders sat there and said, oh shoot
