If you were asked, it would be a toss up between the Met or the WMP, the two worst police forces in the land:
A police chief has been told to go back to Parliament amid claims he provided 'shoddy evidence' while explaining the decision behind a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending an Aston Villa match last month.
The Home Affairs Select Committee has written to West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Guildford to provide 'further evidence' amid claims he misled MPs when he appeared in front of the committee on December 1.
Daily Mail understands it is the first time a Chief Constable has been recalled to Parliament in this way.You'd think they'd be more competent liars, at least wouldn't you? Or is it all just a publicity stunt?
May I nominate a third candidate? Neighbouring force Warwickshire Police referred to the recently arrived Leamington Spa Afghan rapists as ‘17 year old boys’ ‘from Leamington’ (because ‘they were living in Leamington at the time’) and initially described their 15 year old victim as a ‘young woman’, having previously withheld the immigration status of two Afghan asylum seekers charged with raping a 12-year-old in Nuneaton, for fear of 'inflaming community tensions'.
ReplyDeleteIt all suggests significant undue influence is being brought to bear on police forces, presumably, given the sensitivity of the topic, from a very high level within the system as well as from external agents.
The Police Chief thought he was amongst friends and was 'protected'. But the minions will be the first to be sacrificed when political winds change.

As a football fan growing up in the 80s you had to be aware about West Midlands and South Yorkshire Plod...I wasn't even in my teens!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting follow-up; Allison Pearson in the Telegraph:
ReplyDelete‘ “Police are pretending there isn’t an integration problem when it’s got really serious,” my senior police source said yesterday. “It’s partly down to the pro-multiculturalism model that’s become embedded in senior leadership. The police have decided that the best way to keep the peace is by appeasing the loudest voices. A lot of influence is exerted by so-called ‘community leaders’ on policies and operational decisions.”
