    No more Dick

    Dame Cressida Dick is to resign.

    (She was doing some media rounds this morning.)

    BBC News - Met police chief Cressida Dick to step down
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-60340525


    Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick is leaving her role, it has been announced.
    It comes just hours after Dame Cressida insisted she had "absolutely no intention" of stepping down.

    Dame Cressida, who has been in the role for four years, has faced multiple controversies during her career.

    Last week, the police watchdog reported "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination and sexual harassment among some Met PCs.

    In a statement, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was "not satisfied" with Dame Cressida's response to the report, and that she "will be stepping aside" as a result.

    Mr Khan thanked the commissioner, the first woman to lead Britain's biggest police force, for her 40-year policing career.

    He said he would now "work closely with the home secretary on the appointment of a new commissioner" with an aim to restore trust in the Met.

      Does punctuation work for thread titles?

            Ermm....

            You may have noticed that he will have expert help in that task. Apparently she's an ex-Commissioner of the Met who is at a loose end and who said three hours before announcing her retirement, and after the meeting where she was told that Kahn was not her greatest fan, that she is not retiring...

            And that it will be a political appointment, not a policing one...

            You may even get Hogan-Howe back again as a result.

              It's the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, who decides.

              Khan, as Police and Crime Commissioner for London, only gets to say whether he agrees with the appointment or not. If he doesn't agree then they will have a difficult working relationship....

                A lot of people were mistakenly celebrating yesterday thinking that Boris had finally quit, seeing #DickResigns trending on Twitter.

                  Sadiq bore the first Knife, Priti useless was keeping quiet and hoping it would go away as usual, surprised she didn't recommend we buy a few jet-skis to sort out the issue.

                    Sadly I know, maybe we can hire a drug dealer to do it?
