“Brian Paddick, the former senior Metropolitan Police officer, joined calls for his former boss, Sir Ian Blair, to quit as the force’s commissioner as he launched his campaign to become the Mayor of London.”
And now here’s a Lib Dem who does not know one end of a policy from another and, like the last post, for whom consistency is something you apply to custard and not politics. This is the fool who only last Thursday, on Question Time, was putting up a defence for Iain Blair and said he should not resign. He was even challenged on this by Dimbleby who said that he was at odds with his own party - he agreed and sort of said “tough”.
Then, here we are, 5 days later, when nothing new has emerged that he, as a former senior police officer, was not aware of, and he is calling for Blair’s head. Why?
Probably he has done this because on Tuesday he became the Lib Dem Mayoral candidate, chosen from a pretty awful field of nobody’s, and he got sat on by the Clegg monster!
I want Blair gone, but you have to feel sorry for the bloke with such fair weather former friends and colleagues such as this.
No wonder the Lib Dems are going backwards.
