Is she in cahoots with Boris, or what?? AIBU to assume that the rot extends to our law enforcement?

You mean Dame Cressida Dick ?

I think I've just answered your question.

TokyoDreaming · 28/01/2022 10:54

Of course she is, they're working together.

Yes, this.
Powerpotpie · 28/01/2022 10:55

Well she’s still in her job when she should have been kicked out long ago.

Greenbather · 28/01/2022 10:57

Yes I have been thinking it's all a complete stitch-up with the news this morning.

Just looks like - agree with your pal Cressida to "investigate" therefore delaying and ensuring damaging facts are withheld.

Give it a few weeks or months and hope the public, who Johnson takes for complete idiots, move on to other things and he's let off the hook.

They are idiots. They put him in power.

There is a lot of reaping what you sow here. Only the way it works is we all reap what a few nobs have sewn.

Boris Johnson is resembling Richard Nixon more and more each day. Why he's even gone and gotten his own "Tricky Dicky" now. Way to go.

SantaHat · 28/01/2022 11:02

I said elsewhere on MN recently, heaven only knows what deep dark secrets she must have on multiple people in power because there’s no way she’d still have her job otherwise.

LovelyBitOfSquirrelInTheWirral · 28/01/2022 11:03

Yep she’s as bad as him.
How else has she stayed in her job all this time with all the disasters and fuck ups she’s been at the helm of.

Viviennemary · 28/01/2022 11:04

Get me off the hook and I'll get you off the hook. Hmm

Puzzledandpissedoff · 28/01/2022 11:06

It's actually even worse than that, since she was due to go but then given a 2 year extension last autumn

Presumably she's proved even easier to manipulate than they expected ...

100% this. She is absolutely fucking useless and incompetent. She has presided over so many cases of police corruption, wrongful murder, abuse and incompetence it's almost unbelievable.

There is a silent agreement between the Cabinet, Tory MPs and the Police at the moment to keep eachother in power at all costs. They all have dirt on eachother and have agreed to share the cess pit among themselves. Honour among the lowest and let's all scrape the barrell collectively.

How low we have fallen.

Indeed. Sad

We've only just begun. Come back in 10 years and see.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 28/01/2022 11:26

She's an absolute fucking disgrace - the Met Police are shocking generally and she particularly is a traitor to women.

All I really know is on her watch an innocent man had his head turned into raspberry jelly because of the staggering incompetence of her and her team and she's been promoted and ennobled.

Maybe we should all try it ?

Imagine setting out for the day and being offed by the police before you realised it ?

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2022 11:53

She is a disgrace , sadly.

ginandbearit · 28/01/2022 12:19

Fish rot from the head...massive corruption , incompetence and collusion endemic in the Met and she presides over it...perhaps looking forward to her seat in the Lords..she's no friend to women .

CorrBlimeyGG · 28/01/2022 12:28

Didn't they work together at the Foreign Office? She left the police for a few years and joined the FCO.

ilovesooty · 28/01/2022 12:36

They're all equally corrupt and all in it together.

Nothing new about that; it's how it's always been done, but the circumstances haven't been quite so glaringly obvious in a while

Tillsforthrills · 28/01/2022 12:40

She gives me the heebie jeebies. She just seems evil and corrupt.

TheFairyCaravan · 28/01/2022 12:43

She knew about all those parties, she just covered them up. She couldn’t have not known considering how many of her officers stand in Downing Street day in and day out.

It’s an absolute disgrace that it’s only Allegra Stratton who has lost her job during this scandal.

BigGreen · 28/01/2022 12:54

Absolutely disgusting, I'm raging. Come election time I will be campaigning for whatever other parties I can to get the Tories out.

Cressida Dick is a joke, she presided over the killing of an innocent man, Jean Charles de Menezes. What's worse is that she let false briefings to the press stand that he had jumped the tube barriers and therefore somehow 'deserved' to be shot and killed in broad daylight without being sanctioned.

Talk about a cult of failing upwards. 'Dame' Cressida and now rumours of Sir Owen Paterson?!

BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation · 28/01/2022 13:06

For sure. They're all swimming in the same putrid septic tank. Let's hope it gets emptied and disinfected soon or the contents will poison the entire country 🤢
