The Federation's problem of course, lies in the fact, that there have been so many reports in recent months of issues within the Metropolitian Police, that it would have been fortuitous if they had been able to find a clear news day at all, on which to make their allegations.
If the union which represents Met police officers does not understand the disillusionment felt by many ordinary citizens in the force they are defending, then they are part of the problem.
Cressida Dick was effectively let go because she was perceived as being incapable of putting things right and restoring public confidence in her team. In my view, the Mayor had no choice.
If the Federation really are speaking for the rank and file, then Dick's successor has a lot of work to do to turn things around.

I am happy to address most contributions, even the drunken ones if they are coherent, but I am not going to engage with negative sniping from those who do not have the guts to add their names or a consistent on-line identity to their comments. Such postings will not be published.
Anonymous comments with a constructive contribution to make to the discussion, even if it is critical will continue to be posted. Libellous comments or remarks I think may be libellous will not be published.
I will also not tolerate personation so please do not add comments in the name of real people unless you are that person. If you do not like these rules then start your own blog.
Oh, and if you persist in repeating yourself despite the fact I have addressed your point I may get bored and reject your comment.
The views expressed in comments are those of the poster, not me.
