Agreed but I think it will be too tempting for them not to pick a woman from that list so we have a woman PM, Home Secretary and commissioner
you missed the fourth onePM
Home Secretary
Justice Secretary
Commissioner
There will be a lot of "what if" thinking going on in the Whitehall "Blame Culture" corridors.

ps - I don't know why you say Hogan- Howe was a loss to Merseyside ?
He did like riding his horse around Mather Avenue (force training centre) though. Allegedly.
He should go back to Merseyside... handy spot to take up cruising in his retirement. The Queens and others still call into Liverpool from time to time.He did like riding his horse around Mather Avenue (force training centre) though. Allegedly.
Craig Mackey was well respected during his time in Cumbria, having had to seal with the flooding in 2009 which led to the tragic death of an officer and the Derek Bird shootings.
His leaving was felt all the more because of the scandal that blew up around his successor Stuart Hyde whose career was already tainted before he arrived in Cumbria!
Retiring on £181,500 a year pension, and he's only 58.
That would equate with a £9million pension pot.
(UK average is about £90,000.)
A far-from-stellar tenure, probably jumping before he gets pushed.
Say what you want about this country, we reward mediocrity well.
As For Cressida Dick, she has left the Met and was too closely implicated in both the Duggan and de Menezes killings to be credible.
That would equate with a £9million pension pot.

h about public servants, but how the fk can that even begin to be right, he's spent what 35 years plus in the force how is it possible to accumulate an equivalent pot that big. It's not as the tax payer is susedising it is it......I was right..... A woman appointed and a tainted one at that. Cressida Dick gets the job as I suspected

She's a very capable officer.
If anyone bothers to learn about what went on with Menezes, her decision-making was sound with the information she had and I'm glad those i a position to select were, presumably, able to recognise that.
I don't deny that its just a brave choice for that reason. Hogan Howe bought a period of stability after the previous two commissioners failed to complete their terms. She has a tough term ahead of her, headed by big questions around armed officers and their culpability should someone be shot. You just know the media will jump on JCdM case every time armed police are mentioned and as soon as there is an incident.....If anyone bothers to learn about what went on with Menezes, her decision-making was sound with the information she had and I'm glad those i a position to select were, presumably, able to recognise that.

Menezes was an illegal immigrant. If he had left the UK when he should have done, he would, presumably, still be alive today.If anyone bothers to learn about what went on with Menezes, her decision-making was sound with the information she had and I'm glad those i a position to select were, presumably, able to recognise that.

Oh that makes it alright then! La Liga said:

She decided to have a man killed although he'd done nothing to justify it.La Liga said:
with the information she had
The information she had was that he had come out a specific block of flats but there was no identification of who he was. That's not a great basis on which to decide to kill someone.She is tainted.
