Iain Blair's position has been untenable for a long time now.
True. Which is why I'm not annoyed that he's, basically, been sacked; if anything the power politics played around and over him (you remember that party-line vote on censuring him... I mean even one of the
Greenies vote in favour of him... Christ...) was the main reason for him lasting as long as he did.
I'm a little concerned that Johnson is now the chairman of the Met police authority though (something I didn't learn until, uh, yesterday). That just doesn't look healthy and I'm surprised it's allowed.
What about Sir Norman Bettison's posturing?
