UK Met Police chief Dame Cressida Dick to step down - BBC News
The head of London’s police force Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick is leaving her role after a series of damaging controversies.
Dame Cressida said she had been left with "no choice" after London Mayor Sadiq Khan made it clear he had no confidence in her leadership.
Last week, the UK police watchdog found "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination and sex harassment among some Met police constables.
Dame Cressida, the first woman to lead the biggest UK police force, has also faced criticism over the Sarah Everard case.

No, it is time for Boris to resign. He has lost any trust. Write to your local conservative and demand a vote of no confidence. Tell them why Boris has to go.

You do know Dick was another name for a detective up to the 50s? So in fact you're right, but for another reason.
finally... did cressida really think that protecting boris at his least popular, when there was already public pressure for her to go, was going to help her somehow??

She can't control the views of the British public and police officers are recruited from the British public. Not all British people have Lib-Dems views and therefore not all police officers have Lib-Dem views. The same thing happened in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Only police officers with certain views were allowed in the force. They didn't have diversity like we have at the moment, although not for long it would seem.

It’s not the people that are the problem, it’s the police. Investigate your own crimes.
"There have been many tough calls and many challenges: the 2017 terrorist attacks, the Grenfell fire, very difficult protests, the pandemic, the murder of serving officers". Ah yes so the murder of serving officers is a tough call and challenge but not the kidnap, rape and murder of a civilian, Sarah Everard by a serving officer taking advantage of his authority and then the brutal crackdowns on a peaceful, socially-distanced vigil held in her memory. I can think of no better speech to justify London's lack of confidence in her and the Met. Good riddance.

What slogan and what movement are you talking about? The entirety of feminism dating back to the suffragete movements or just the most recent waves? Cos I'm pretty sure mainstream modern feminism is just about questioning gender roles and identities, rather than advocating a holocaust of men like you are insinuating.

She is, in my view, a completely amoral person. She ordered the murder of an innocent person on the tube and nobody, but nobody, has paid for it. That she didn't resign from the police there and then, at the moment she found out he was guitly of nothing, raises biq questions about her morality. And we cannot have amoral people running our police forces, who carry on the state's behalf the state's legitimate right to use violence on the population. It is bad enough that such people run the government.

Wow. I cannot believe that in her list of "difficult challenges" she's faced with the met, she mentioned the murder of serving officers, but not the murder of a lone female *by* one of her officers. For that, and that alone, we can be sure it is the right thing that she is going. You can see clearly from her 'speech' how proud and conceited she is about her leadership. Unfortunately, the rest of us can see otherwise. This is a positive move for London and for Policing in general.

@@sufirodger that’s an excuse people use to ignore advancements in social equality.

They knew full well how sensitive the situation was, with of course the murderer of Everard being an officer himself. To let that situation play out as it did was enough reason alone for her to resign, surely.
