Met Police Federation Kick Khan Over Dick

The Met Police Federation has declared it has "no faith" in Sadiq Khan after the "very public ousting" of Dame Cressida Dick as commissioner.
She resigned from the role on Thursday over the mayor of London's lack of confidence in her plans for reform.
——
Tbf I cannot see how they have any justification for this
No fan of Khan but he had to start to set right the wrongs that had become far too prevalent under her command

Surely ?

Apparently what they are complaining about is some of the comments that Khan said being uncomplimentary about the Met police.

Khan has an agenda but the pity he didn’t spend more time trying to eradicate the gangs and knife crime in the capital

there you go again wetting your alans! Do you think these political moves from your beloved labour have no consequences? Do you think they can't fight back?

* mores the pity

//Khan has an agenda but the pity he didn’t spend more time trying to eradicate the gangs and knife crime in the capital//

Isn't that more the responsibility of the Met?

To whom is that addressed ?

who's Alan?

[Bobbisox1]

So what is it the Mayor of London actually does Mozz, or for that matter a mayor of any major town of city ? What are they responsible for
Serous question ….

[Stickybottle]

Still waiting for TTT to answer the question :

Who was your first reply in response to ?

[ToraToraTora]

They have no purpose but to annoy people. All part of Blair's disastrous devolution game. London managed perfectly well without one, even better when TGL abolished the GLC. Dick Whittington et al is adequate for ceremonial needs etc.

[ToraToraTora]

15:18 you.

[Mozz71]

I have no idea Bobbs, I'm not a Londoner. I just assumed that the police are responsible for crime. Happy to be corrected.

//The mayor is the chief executive officer of the city. In this role, the mayor is responsible for the general welfare of the city. This responsibility is exercised in the two roles of the mayor. They mayor takes on a policy-making role by recommending policies to the council, breaking tie votes, and vetoing legislation.//

If it was to me you may require a senility check

Take a look at my answers in your very own recent thread :

I am no fan of Labour so please dispense with the lefty and 5C comments

You could not make yourself look any dafter today and heaven knows you have tried !

[Atheist]

Oh, this is a difficult issue for those ABers who dislike all three; Sadiq Khan, Cressida Dick and Priti Patel! Which way are they going to go?

[ToraToraTora]

SB: "I am no fan of Labour so please dispense with the lefty and 5C comments " - well you keep saying that but your actions and comments say different. I think You are very much a mountebank.

[Atheist]

I suppose, when in doubt, kick out against the left-wing.

Lol
So why would I publicly declare on this site that I prefer a conservative or Conservative led government over a labour one ?

Oh I get it !
Next you will claim I am a spy or a mole ? !
Just because I want to see those in power lead the country with authority and aplomb and respect and due deference ?
To be held accountable and to do the job to the utmost of their ability whilst remaining professional and courteous ?

I care not for the labour side but I do want the country led properly by decent people

Bozo does not even remotely fit the bill

That aside it was obvious the tenure of Dick was under far too much scrutiny and rightly and reasonably so she did the right thing and stepped aside
Khan was right to assist her on her way
End of

"So why would I publicly declare on this site that I prefer a conservative or Conservative led government over a labour one ?" - you tell me, your words say it but your constant barrage of carp says otherwise.
