What a stupid rule, if true
I might be wrong like but I’m sure it was something like that

Edit — Just googled it and it comes under pension forfeiture “committed a criminal offence committed in connection with their service “ , that’s the introduction. Not planning on reading it all like .

I’m sure I’ve read that they can only do it if he’s done for something related to working . So if he’s on the Rob, a racist or gives someone a crack or whatever . Think that couzens lost his because he used his ID , I’m sure I read that at the time .
Pretty sure in some of the articles I read, Carrick used his police ID to effectively “put women at ease”. Surely that should fall under the same umbrella even if he wasn’t using it in an official capacity which I believe Couzens did.

Yeah said in my first post I think they’re trying and claw some back and that was why . Seems a bit thin but hope they manage it
 
The Met have always been dodgy.
It took The Sweeney to make people realise things might not be as squeaky clean as they were in Dock Green.
 
2-3 met plod weekly through the courts on serious charges.
Who let these in in the first place? hermann goering? The entire force* is tainted and there is no salvaging trust, reputation or faith. Dragging the rapists, the racists and the paedophiles through the courts will only reinforce how substandard the whole lot has been. Imagine being someone similar to Barry George and then finding out a bunch of pigs that all colluded with false evidence got the kibosh some years later. It puts the entire judicial system at peril.
Cut them all off and start again. Only three forces will be required, historic crimes and injustices, current policing, and a set trustworthy to hire the first two.

Yeah, I can't see it either. "people's front of judeah!"
 
London Mayor Kahn was right about Dick and asking her for resignation. These two light weights, it's no wonder they are no longer in office.




An official review into the way that Cressida Dick was ousted from her role as Britain’s top police officer was announced on Monday as Home Secretary Priti Patel said she wanted to find out whether proper procedures were followed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Ms Patel — who also announced that Dame Cressida’s deputy, Sir Stephen House, will take over as interim Commissioner when Dame Cressida departs in April — said the probe would be conducted by the former chief inspector of constabulary, Sir Tom Winsor, and aim to produce findings by the summer.


She said she was ordering it because the circumstances leading up to Dame Cressida’s resignation last month “warrant further scrutiny” in remarks that threaten to lead to a potentially uncomfortable analysis of Mr Khan’s attitudes towards her in the weeks and months beforehand.



Ms Patel said: “Dame Cressida Dick was at the helm of the Met during extremely tough times, with terror attacks and the pandemic among the challenges she faced. Her dedication to protecting London and Londoners has helped drive down serious violence in the city and for that in particular she deserves our gratitude.

“Sir Steve House, her current deputy, will provide the stability and continuity the force needs as we focus on appointing the right person to lead the country’s largest force and make London an even safer place to live, work and visit.”

The Home Secretary added that Sir Tom will investigate whether “due process” was followed and whether any changes are needed to the law which gave City Hall the key role in determining the Commissioner’s fate.

“It is right that we have appropriate legislation in place to govern the modern policing environment and I believe the circumstances leading up to Dame Cressida’s departure warrant further scrutiny, which is why I have commissioned Sir Tom Winsor to conduct this Review.”

The decision prompted a furious response from City Hall with sources claiming the probe was a “politically motivated” waste of money and a “cynical and childish move” by the Home Secretary to engage in party politics.

Monday’s announcement follows a request by Sir Stephen for a review during an appearance before City Hall’s policing and crime committee in which he accused Mr Khan of acting unlawfully over Dame Cressida’s departure.

The Met Commissioner announced her resignation after being told via her and Mr Khan’s aides that he had no confidence in her ability to transform her force after a series of scandals, including the Charing Cross Whatsapp exchanges between officers and the murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens.
Her decision followed an appearance by the Mayor on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme a day earlier in which he had strongly criticised her leadership of the Met and announced that she had only days or weeks to produce a plan for restoring public trust.

Weeks of haggling over the date and terms of her departure, which are both finally expected to be confirmed imminently and potentially today, have followed.

Dame Cressida is understood to be arguing she was effectively constructively dismissed with City Hall claiming in return that she resigned voluntarily and should not be entitled to anything for the two-year contract extension she was due to start in April.

City Hall is also believed to have sought unsuccessfully to impose a gagging clause on Dame Cressida to prevent her talking about the events leading up to her resignation in an increasingly acrimonious dispute.

Sadly, as I suspected.

While he’s got life terms, he’ll likely be eligible for parole after the thirty. I personally know this will be appealed for leniency, but it’s what the CPS expected.

While not a whole life term, he will be in prison until he is at least 78 years old. He may get released from prison one day, he may not... If he does, he has nothing left to look forward to.

This is a good example of when we should give consecutive sentencing. He should be punished for each and every individual offence, and sentenced to 150 years+ .
