And should the tabloids be judge and jury?

And should the tabloids be judge and jury?

No more than Faceachebook and Twitter

They seem to be on a lot of other issues. 

[Lizzie Zoom]

In the case of Cressida Dick she as the head of the Met Police must take full responsibility of the atrocious mistakes, mis-judgments, and plain mis-management , and go as any chairman, managing director, or senior manager in the commercial world has to if they are the top of the chain of such a terrible performance.

But the Met is a big organisation. An organisation that, according to the media, has apparently some issues at the non mangerial levels.

Would just replacing her actually make a difference, or just delay any (perceived?) reform another 3 or 4 years, until that CC is deemed incapable by the media public.  She is, after all, little more than a figurehead.  Is the Met Police actually failing as an entity, when all things are considered?  As much as I don't get a warm feeling that she's competent, I'm unconvinced that things will improve with somebody new at the helm.

But the ‘management’ has failed to keep this in check and they are responible and held to account in any organisation, no matter how large. In a commercial organisation it is shareholders money at stake, with the Met it is public money that is and it is the general public that demands a proper return for this investment. 

It seems that every since the 1970’s when corruption was a challenge, there has been the “institutional racialism” of the Stephen Lawrence era, to failings in the thoroughness of investigations, the biased against women and racism (as confirmed by ex senior officers of the Met recently) to the flaws in the follow up and investigation of the murder of the two women, and the flaws in the system that let Wayne Cousins join and carry on serving as a armed response police officer, when all kind of sexual assault allegations had been made against him, with his well known nickname being “The Rappist” in police circles around him. All this time a succession of poor leadership caused these issues to rise up and continue without proper challenge, and Dick as the current Commissioner of Police for the Met, who joined that organisation in 1983, is yet another who has failed to pull the reigns in and take action to resolve the issues, which as I have said, retired Met police officers are stating has actually got worse as an underlying current of severe flaws in policing standards.

No, Dick is the head who must go, with a replacement found who can reverse the decades old decline of the Met.

……..and, I almost forgot, the Met has recently been found to be “institutionally corrupt” in connection with a botched enquiry into the murder of a private detective.

So much has been found to be wrong with the Met, things have got to change from the top.

Regime Change in short

I await her hollow apology , once again , to the Family and the wider public  for the two ghouls that are reportedly pleading guilty next week to taking and sharing selfie's of the two sisters bodies at the scene of the crime .

Utterly abhorrent .

I believe she was in charge when the De Menezes shooting took place.

Yep, she was in charge of that operation and the subsequent scandalous cover up.
Her career should have ended there, but..........
