Cressida Dick to step down as Metropolitan Police chief​

Met Police chief Cressida Dick resigns with "sadness and regret"
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 to her he had no confidence in her leadership.
Last week, the police watchdog found "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination and sex harassment among some Met PCs.
Dame Cressida, the first woman to lead the biggest UK police force, also faced criticism over the Sarah Everard case.
Ms Everard was murdered by a serving Met Police officer, Wayne Couzens, in March last year.
Speaking on BBC London hours before her departure was announced, she insisted that she had "absolutely no intention" of quitting, and that she was "seething angry" about the culture at Charing Cross police station, which was exposed by the police watchdog.

In her resignation statement, Dame Cressida said she had "agreed to stay for a short period to ensure the stability of the Met".
Her successor will be appointed by the home secretary, in consultation with the mayor of London. Contenders include Matt Jukes and Neil Basu, who are both assistant Met commissioners.
Beyond London, the Met is also responsible for national counter-terrorism policing.
Mr Khan said he was "not satisfied" with Dame Cressida's response to the scale of change required to "root out" racism, sexism, homophobia, bullying and misogyny in the Met.
"On being informed of this, Dame Cressida Dick has said she will be standing aside," he said.
Mr Khan thanked the commissioner for her 40-year policing career.

He said he would now "work closely with the home secretary on the appointment of a new commissioner" with an aim to restore trust in the force.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Dame Cressida "has served her country with great dedication and distinction over many decades".
Home Secretary Priti Patel said the police chief held the role "during challenging times" and that she "exemplified the increasingly diverse nature of our police".
Susan Hall, leader of the Greater London Assembly Conservatives, said Mr Khan had handled the situation "extremely badly".
Earlier this week Mr Khan said he had put Dame Cressida "on notice" following the exposure of racist and sexist messages sent by officers at Charing Cross.
But Ms Hall told BBC Radio 4's Today programme this should have been done "behind closed doors".

She said the resignation made Londoners less safe and left a "void" at the top of the Met.

Good fuck the little goblin and her absoloutely useless reign that's seen violent crime skyrocket all the while hunting people down who say mean things on twitter.
 
Seems like a completely politically motivated removal. "Racism and sexism" in the Met, who would have thought. Have to laugh at this woman being championed as an story of success, being both the first female and gay commissioner of the Met Pol, only to get canned for cancel culture reasons, not for anything serious, like having a murderer/rapist on the force. Once attended a dinner where she was speaking years ago. Very woke.

I suspect that she might have something on Khan, and that this whole "parties at Christmas at No 10" might be related. No doubt he was out and about instead of hanging around at home under government orders.

This woman really was incompetent, which is standard for the Met. In no order that I can recall she:
-Gave the order to shoot a Brazilian electrician in the mistaken belief he was a terrorist
-Had a rapist/murderer of an officer in the force, then when protestors hit the streets, responded in a very heavy handed manner
-Oversaw Operation Midland, whereby she relied on a "star witness" who was hurling allegations of child sex abuse and pedophilia around for 18 months... Only for those allegations to not only be completely false/unfounded, but the star witness himself was a paedophile.
-Host of the usual racial profiling/not taking colored matters seriously.

. Just... Wholly incompetent and corrupt, which is why she will no doubt be headed straight for the house of lords soon.

Like the entire Met. They've been corrupt wasters since the 70s at the very least. In fact, the only police force more corrupt is the City of London Police, who are basically the CoL's private security force with a veneer of state approval. The behaviour of their predecessor city watches are at least partly who Peel had in mind when he established the so-called Peelian principles of policing.
 
Hmm....

This is London...A city where white British are an ethnic minority.....So it's not likely to be a straight white guy. Can't be a gay guy either because cultural insensitivity but lesbians are hot...

My money is on black or muslim male to succeed. Wasn't there that black senior met officer who got done for kiddie porn but kept her job? Maybe she'll be suitable.
 
No surprise. I hope she has something to leak out of vengeance when she goes.
 
It's good news, but not really cause for celebration. Cressida Dick, and the misogyny and racism in the force that got her fired, are just symptoms of the same problem that goes way beyond the Metropolitan Police, or the British Police in general. Remember that the Police Federation said that criticism of her was "sniping from the sidelines" and they backed her "100%". The British state looks after its own, and everyone else is cattle to be bullied, pushed around and mocked. Boris and his parties are another example of the same thing, as was the NHS's attempts at vaccine mandates for its staff (and the govt's Covid policies in general). It's not going to get better - Priti Patel subscribes to this world view 100% as well and I've no doubt that Cressida Dick's successor will be as bad if not worse.

Oh and don't thank Sadiq Khan too much either, he only did it to embarrass the government.
 
She should have stepped down years ago, although really, she should never have been promoted in the first place; especially after her involvement in the abhorrent shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. While she was personally cleared of any wrongdoing in that incident, the Met's overall handling of the subsequent investigation was nothing short of shameful, and the fact that nobody lost their jobs over it (let alone face criminal charges) is absolutely shocking.

Unfortunately, the more you read, the more it becomes clear that these kinds of abuses and inadequacies run deep throughout the police force, and the fact that Dick herself has presided over numerous failures and errors of judgement during her recent tenure is a fitting illustration for why she is part of the problem. It might be tempting to make her into a scapegoat over this, but we really shouldn't. The truth is that the whole system needs a massive overhaul before the Met can be said to be deserving of public trust.
