Separate enough an issue to get its own thread, I think. Have relations between senior coppers and a Conservative government ever been as bad as this? Bizarre times.

You have to view things in perspective.

If they want somebody with proven track record on British soil, somebody who was working class himself, then I don't see that there is any question.
And yes, I do think that Lancet was a political vendetta against the man.

You have to view things in perspective. I agree. I think you call in people with expertise in a given situation even if their problem was much worse. It wouldn't make sense to call for a gangs expert from Luxembourg... NYPD has worked with British law enforcement for a long time and they were particularly called on for terrorism consults given long history of dealing with IRA bombings. |
