The Met Police Commissioner should have resigned three years ago but he is still clinging on to power as he seems to believe he has a God given mandate.
Will the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes confirm what most people believe: he was shot as a result of wrong orders from higher echelons of grossly incompetent officers whom the Commissioner attempted to cover up.
Will ex DAC Brian Paddick have the guts to maintain his stance and help to unravel the lies that shroud this shameful murder?
Perhaps Gordon Brown, keen to rectify past mistakes, could start by making sure that the Met Police has a new Commissioner who can stand proud and deliver what London needs to feel safer.
By the way, we need changes elsewhere too. They keep telling us in Croydon that we should not be afraid, yet killings have not stopped. Yet, Council and police claim they are having brain storming sessions 'to stop' knife crimes.
In the meantime, a Commander and an Assistant Commissioner, both belonging to ethic minorities, have been suspended. Obviously at the right time: is Mr Blair hoping that their plight will be buried by the current financial crisis?
Am I a voice in the desert?
