Anonymous suggests quit...Well would you believe it. Anonymous suggests quite offensively that I should be a member of of the OBL fan club and then has the audacity to criticize me for name calling.<BR/><BR/>Clearly Anonymous' personal animosity towards me is clouding his logic; yet again. Isn't it interesting how those that criticize me regularly on this site do so in the cowardly comfort of anonymity. Well thinking about it with my Legal team working at full pelt at this time I suppose anonymity is understandable. Though personally, despite the dangers, I have always preferred to stand head and shoulders above the proverbial parapet when firing my shots - ones voice has so much more credibility when the recipients know who is speaking. Being shot in the back, whilst facing forward and firing verbal shots at the enemy, is of course an an occupational hazard. <BR/><BR/>Anyway to return to the issue. In today's newspapers there is a large range of notable individuals and experienced columnists making much the same point as I did on the Blog yesterday. Such comments come from people across the political spectrum from the Conservative Party Shadow Home Secretary to the the Lib-Dem candidate for London Mayor Brian Paddick, a former Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police who has worked with Sir Ian. In the Mail on Sunday today Paddick writes of his former bosse's attitude and comments to the press after the trial this week :'' Ian missed the point; it is not about being convicted or not it is about public trust and confidence''. Exactly the point I was making in my post and the point that you Anonymous miss; Sir Ian Blair does not enjoy the confidence of the public or as I understand it his colleagues or indeed many of the members of the Met' Police Authority.<BR/><BR/>Readers of the Mail on Sunday, a group it is fair to assume are a natural supporter of law and order, have at 16.00 hrs today voted in the newspapers web site by 63 per cent in favour of Sir Ian's resignation. Are they all inadvertently supporting terrorism ? I think not!<BR/><BR/>What you do not put forward in your comments Anonymous is exactly why or how Sir Ian Blair remaining in post will assist the War on terrorism - Ken Livingston The Mayor of London also supports Sir Ian without giving any detailed reasons why so perhaps you could help him out with some reasons as to exactly why he should not go.<BR/><BR/>If you consider that I am supporter of terrorism or that I ought to join a 'fan club' or in any way support the actions of a mass murder that is an opinion to which you are entitled (for me to do so could be an offence these days so you had perhaps make a complaint to Special Branch). However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you continue to repeat your ill considered comment on my Blog despite overwhelming unequivocal evidence to the contrary then you must expect me to describe you as moronic, which in the circumstances is remarkably constrained of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665296.post-73246190206547161422007-11-04T19:50:00.000+00:002007-11-04T19:50:00.000+00:00Once again you have shown that you are incapable o...Once again you have shown that you are incapable of accepting that others have differing points of view to yourself without resorting to name calling.<BR/>I happen to believe that the loss of Blair over this matter will be a success for terrorism. <BR/>By calling for him to resign, I happen to believe that you are inadverently supporting terrorism. Calling me names is not going to change that belief.<BR/>Reasoned arguement, on the other hand, might but your only response to anyone disagreeing with you on this blog is name calling. <BR/>I suppose it IS your blog after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665296.post-48729221304903159242007-11-04T11:55:00.000+00:002007-11-04T11:55:00.000+00:00It is not merely the fact of the conviction which ...It is not merely the fact of the conviction which demands his resignation but the systematic failures of training, Command & Control, organisation and conduct of operations that have been revealed in the case.

On the occasion of the killing of Jean Charles DeMenezes the strenth of feeling and facts of the case is such that the ultimate responsability stops with the Commisioner. <BR/><BR/>If we were to follow your stupid point Anonymous the friends and family of the late Mr De Menezes's are also members of the OBL fan club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665296.post-1467888861157283112007-11-04T08:40:00.000+00:002007-11-04T08:40:00.000+00:00Resign/Sack the Police Boss.Oh Goodie - Another vi...Resign/Sack the Police Boss.<BR/>Oh Goodie - Another victory for the terrorists. <BR/>Your life membership to the Osama Bin Laden fan club is in the post.<BR/>Well done PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
