Sir Paul Stephenson's poisoned chalice

[TWSTEEL]

What a job :
Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't
Clamp down further on terrorists and potential terrorists or allow the rapidly approaching Olympics to be threatened?

Stuffed!

[rude-boy]

Why do you think they gave the job to the nice chappie who was trying to sue them before

Poor bugger.

[Swilly]

He is damned because the role is so politicised and he i would wager is more a politician himself than policeman

[AJS-]

I reckon his job will get a whole lot easier when Labour get kicked out at the next election. For the next few months he's being leaned on by a Tory Mayor and a Labour Home Secretary.

Can you imagine how the poor bugger had to bite his tongue as Jacqui Smith interviewd him for the job...?
