Currently the two front runners appear to be her two deputies...
Let's hope some sense applies and they go looking for a policeman. The emphasis has to be a return to policing values rather than socio-political ones!Blog? What blog...?

What they need is another Robert Mark, back in the 70s, who transformed the Met from the Sweeney model to the Line of Duty one. Since the high level policemen forming the likely candidates date from the late 90s or thereabouts and have come up from graduate intake with not a lot of practical policing, I don't think they'll have any Robert Marks to choose from. Looking outside, so Oz or Canada would be sensible options, will probably be the best bet if they want to reform the culture.Originally posted by SueEllen View Post
Then again, over the last 15 years they have instigated a lot of reforms. That's why protestors causing havoc get offered cups of tea and people trying to get past them for work get prosecuted, and why they protect their own even when that's putting the public at serious risk.
What they ought to try is to keep a purely political commissioner to look after the interaction with the government (local and national) and finances, and have a proper copper in charge of operations. What they can't do is repeat what has already been tried.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Apparently Red anti-Semitic Ken Livingston was looking outside the UK for the head of the Met."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Reminds me of the parody that Rory Bremner did of Tony Blair adapting the US president's speech to fit the UK, replacing Brown with Chaney.
"If anything happens to me, people need to know that Dick will replace me". Became "If anything happens to me, people need to know that dick, will replace me".Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

From what the rumours are, it was Khan who suggested that the Met should concentrate more on LGBT+ issues and the like. I think she was more inclined to tackle the the more traditional role of nicking criminals.Comment

He didn't like that the staff on the force were racist, homophobic, sexist but was fine that they gave thieves and murderers a cup of tea and a hug.Comment
