No rejoicing from me either.

The Metropolitan Police do an excellent job for the most part, and it's understandable that sometimes special operations can go spectacularly wrong, but the deliberately misleading information fed to the press in the immediate aftermath of the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes was disgraceful - on a par with Hillsborough.

well, I'm not rejoicing. One of the worst cock-ups (of the many) in the history of the Met came during her watch, and now she's heading up the whole force. God help us! Is the Met ever going to get a decent CC ?

It is a rather unfortunate one, isn't it...?

hmm
Wasn't she in charge of operations when Jean Charles Menenez was killed?

After all the disasters appointed to be top cop in London, it can only get better with the appointment of Cressida Dick.

With a female PM and now chief commissioner I hope things can only go from strength to strength.

The men have had their chance.

Good luck Cressida
