The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Dame Cressida Dick, has resigned from her post. One minute ‘she was staying’ and 10 minutes later she was gone. Because of our Mayor of all London, Sadiq Kahn. Who basically said that she was unfit to lead. Which, coming from the world’s worst ever possible Mayor, is pretty rich. The man who struggles to put sentences together. The man who has achieved nothing in his entire tenure. The many who stated that ‘new leadership was needed, right at the top’. As opposed to leadership from the bottom. New cleaners and filing clerks. No, at the top.

Cressida’s first police operation as Commissioner resulted in the shooting to death of totally innocent Jean Charles de Menezes. She didn’t pull the trigger, but I have to agree, as ‘new starts to jobs’ go, not the best. Lots of other shit happened ‘on her watch’ too. Most notably, the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by one of her own. And then the brutality of the officers policing a peaceful, majority-women vigil held. Not great.

Yet the ‘thing’ that Little Shit Sadiq is most upset about is the ‘culture of racism, sexism and misogyny’ which abounds in the Met. And that is Cressida’s fault. According to Mr Mayor. To which I would unreservedly disagree. Mainly because Dame Cress is a gel. And gels simply don’t do the same kind of ‘banter’ on Whatsapp groups. Gels have limits in such matters. Lines which shouldn’t even be approached. Boys lack such definition and discipline. And its pretty much the crossing of lines which is where the fun starts. How far can you push? How incorrect can you be? If I insult three quarters of the world’s population, does it matter if the joke is funny enough? Its Jimmy Carr all over again.

And the police… officers who cause all the problem are the men. I would state that this is because they are men. And they’re not very educated and police all like drinking and fighting, just like the people they arrest on Friday nights. And if you examined the content of the Whatsapp groups of of those arrested and those arresting, they’d be the same.

I don’t think changing the Police Commissioner could or would have any effect on this. You need to change the entire fabric of our society, or make racist and sexist jokes and memes far less funny, to achieve that end.

Sadiq was just showing the capital how important he is, how powerful he is, how awfully PC he is, how big he is.

The football season has been temporarily suspended. In my mind, at least.

Happy Monday
