There are various online petitions calling for the resignation of this truly incompetent head of the MET, I urge you to sign them.
How many more catastrophes is she going to oversee before she goes.
She was probably only appointed in the first place because she is a woman, and gay.

She led the operation that led to JOHN Charles Demenzies getting shot 7 times through the mouth, just for running to catch the tube, she should have been sacked for this alone!

Personally I don't blame her for any of the instances that have occurred.

There are millions of necessary interactions and always a percentage chance that bad outcomes from mistakes will result.

I want her removed because she's part of the Khan failure of London governance and a supporter and enactor of his policies. And again, I'll state that this women was given her post by a conservative home secretary.

Really time for a new approach.

she should have gone many months ago. She has managed to evade culpability for failure upon failure.
The most damning comment came from my ex-neighbour a retired senior copper who said "she was an uncontentious appointment"

Things seem to have got worse with the Daniel Morgan case, and other issues that were meant to be sorted under her tenure.

She is awful.
Its a big job and needs someone with a bit of backbone.
I remember Sir Robert Mark - came in and rooted out all the Flying Squad & Vice corruption.
Hogan-Howe was also a good commissioner.
Dick is a PC creation. Oxford education, fast track, gay and female.

That is what 'positive discrimination' gets you during the selection process, and fck off the best candidate.

Not really sure what her gender or sexual orientation have got to do with anything.

There have been plenty of poor performing individuals in the post in recent years, as well as those in other senior positions in the Met. Yet I'm sure we wouldn't attack them for being heterosexual males.

I have to admit it's troubling to see her position not being questioned by either the government or by the Mayor of London. At every step of the Everard case the Met have got it completely wrong and there doesn't seem to be any faith in any lessons being learned. And that starts from the top.

And this is the thing.
Maybe I was wrong to empahise the "PC" thing. But it is annoying, Hogan-Howe was a straight talking yorskshirem who grew up in a council house and work his way up, arresting people and solving crimes. That is what the staff look up to.

It isn't Cressida Dick who has jammed up the criminal system for years it is the Home Secretary, to the extent of criticism today from the PM.

And the Home Secretary should be demanding that the lessons of this quite dreadful killing are learnt, she is obsessed with dinghies and useless on crime.

Its quite intolerable that women should not feel safe.

I don't see what the Home Secretary has got to do with Cressida Dick's police ignoring a number of incidents of an officer carrying out sexual offences, or in Cressida Dick organising the killing of an innocent man because she deemed him a terrorist on god knows what 'evidence'.

She is obsessed with dinghies, as they are bringing in illegal immigrants whose identities are unknown.
Wasn’t the Home Secretary who authorised the Police to kneel in support of BLM, whilst war memorials were defaced which should never have happened.
Not sure what the jamming of the criminal system has to do with her total incompetence.

 

steeleye20 Flag Croydon 02 Oct 21 7.01pm

Cressida Dick is appointed by the Home Secretary and has her support.

The Home Secretary has, very unwisely imo and many others, recently extended her term until 2024.

That's about it, entrusting her, maybe she can deliver but she has been there too long, it is not supposed to be for life.

A new appointment is like a new CPFC manager, with a new outlook and purpose.

I'd forgotten the Daniel Morgan case, perhaps she has some culpability in that as his family...thinking back, certainly regarded her as unhelpful.

Also her handling of BLM and marching in step with Khan's failed approach to crime certainly deserves her the sack.

However, I also thinks she carries the can for stuff that really in truth aren't her fault....the Everard case being a black swan event that would have happened regardless of who is at the top.

I don't know what can realistically be done about that other than looking at recruitment....and are the 'right stuff' even coming forward in enough numbers for that job? And this guy would have probably slipped through anyway.

I was on a building site, reading a book about the masons-(The brotherhood) on my tea break in the portocabin, my chargehand, (someone on 10p an hour more than the normal blokes), said-"why are you reading that rubbish?" My instinctive reaction was thinking why do you care? I had just finished a page, saying, "Freemasons often use the letter A, as a signal to other freemasons that they are "on the square", as they put it, or "in the hood", as I like to say. Anyway, I looked ae my "superior", and saw on his hard hat, he had a big letter A in the middle!I said to the whole cabin, look, it says they use the A, and Ken , who just told me my book is bollox, has it in the middle of his hat! The poor bloke melted and crawled out of the hut!Bunch of cnuts,,,,,,,,,

You must realise that the public sector rewards failure and constantly celebrates it. Learning from our mistakes is one of their many classics. She is role model for failure mentality. Female and gay in a male dominates (and necessitated in many situations) sector, the perfect choice. Catastrophe after catastrophe before and during her reign which has given them so much to consider and learn from. Following usual public sector protocol, when she is finally removed it will be through promotion celebrating her time there as opposed to what is long overdue, the sack. Of course lessons a rarely learnt and confusion and failure will follow especially if that disaster Khan is still involved. How depressing. But let’s celebrate the inclusiveness of the police force and all those 5’ females who have joined up to enforce law and order. So suitable. Line of Duty is a good reflection of the modern police. It is so overdue a major overhaul but don’t hold your breath. Lessons will not be learnt and our paperwork led Police FORCE will continue as jelly. All weak and wobbly.

You are dead right there!
This woman really was and still is a bad choice and has been involved - even prior to being commissioner - in too much bad stuff and she should never have been appointed in the first place.
From the scandal, post Saville, along with many other high profile cock ups she comes up smelling of roses every time and she is also one of the most insincere individuals I have ever seen in public office.
Priti Patel should be gone as well for giving her an extension to her contract - it is a disgrace.
We can't hold her responsible for every individual cock up of course or whatsapp groups and so on - but she just stinks of everything that is wrong in the public sector today and the smell just gets worse.
Rant over!
