Yesterday, whilst he Prime Minister Boris Johnson was being driven back to Downing Street after attending Prime Minister’s Question Time, his motorcade consisting of a -presumably armoured – Jaguar car followed by a security detail in a Range Rover, was involved in an incident. According to various reports, a Kurdish protestor protesting over Kurdish issues, jumped out in front of the motorcycle outrider that was travelling in front of Mr Johnson’s car. A police officer belatedly stirred himself to grab at the protestor but the incident caused the driver of Mr Johnson’s car to brake hard which caused the car carrying the security detail to crash into the back of the Prime Minister’s car. There was significant body damage to the boot of the PM’s car but he is not reported to be injured.

Many people who have commented on this story on various sites and platforms are questioning whether the driver was correct in braking for the protestor and are saying that the protestor should just have been run down. After all they are saying, this nutter could well have been a suicide bomber or some other form of terrorist dead set on killing or injuring the PM? Stopping or slowing down would have given any terrorist a chance to inflict injury or death on the PM. To a certain extent I agree with these voices. History has shown that slowing down when carrying VIP passengers gives an opportunity for an assassin to strike. Both the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian royal family member Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the assassination of Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich were both aided by vehicles having to slow down or stop or by foolish actions by drivers or passengers. It makes me wonder whether these and similar cases and their outcomes are taught to those members of the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection squad charged with guarding high value potential targets such as the Prime Minister?

The way that this was handled was an abject failure of policing by the Metropolitan Police. When you look at the video which is being carried on the Guido Fawkes site, it looks very much like there were not enough police officers watching the demonstrators to prevent this incident. Also the video gives me the impression that the officers were not all watching the demonstrators to spot any suspicious behaviour. Some may have been watching the motorcade and some just may have been distracted, in any case, this is a serious failure by a force that has gained a reputation for being dominated by political correctness and which has failed to tackle London’s appalling knife crime and street violence problem. It is also a force which, as we saw by comparing how differently they policed the BLM/Marxist thugs and how they policed their Patriot opponents, is mired in double standards.

There should have been far more officers watching the protestors especially prior and during the time when the Prime Minister was expected to exit the Palace of Westminster. Officers should have been placed at or near the sides of the demo where it was likely that any protestor run out would occur. I’ve been on hundreds of demos over the years both as a participant and as a photographer or observer and I know that one of the police’s priorities is to stop demonstrations from getting out of hand by having participants ooze out in smaller groups from the main demo. Yes this can be difficult when you have demos that are thousands of people in size, but it should have been far easier to accomplish in the case of this demo in Parliament Square yesterday.

I’m gobsmacked at what I’ve seen in the video taken of the incident. The officer who did eventually grab the protestor was initially too far away to be effective and this allowed the protester to get far too close to the motorcade. The motorcycle outrider tried to divert the protestor with his bike but this attempt seemed to be unsuccessful.

I keep coming back to the question of why there were so few officers around at what is a crucial time, the egress of the PM from the Palace of Westminster? Where were they? One things for certain, they were certainly not deployed around London’s other more benighted streets where crime is rife. Was this some management oversight by senior officers who decided that they didn’t need to deploy extra officers outside the Palace of Westminster despite ongoing anti-Brexit and other lunatic protests? If so this was a big mistake.

Or could it be that the Met Police decided that officers rather than be deployed on protecting the public and the PM were on ‘diversity’ courses or being instructed how to genuflect effectively in front of BLM/Marxist mobs? Although I jest, neither would surprise me when it comes to the cock up which is today’s Metropolitan Police. It’s not beyond the bounds of possibilities that officers who should have been watching this crowd of demonstrators had been diverted into less than useful activities. It should not be forgotten that the Met Police, at the instruction of the odious Sadiq Khan diverted £1.7M of police money that should have gone to regular policing, into a virtue signalling ‘hate crime hub’. Khan with the approval of the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, took money away from policing at a time when knife and other violent crime was rife in London and put it into this frivolous waste of money ‘hate crime hub’, that has done little but be a weapon in the hands of various identity politics whiners.

The Metropolitan Police is in a mess and it’s in a mess because of how it has been managed by its senior management team. It is these senior managers who have turned the Met into a woketarded mess that panders to whatever minority group is the flavour of the month, that bends the knee to thugs whilst classifying military veterans and those opposed to thuggery as ‘far right’. But this senior management team would not be able to get away with what they get away with without approval from the very top.

The buck for all the mess that the Metropolitan Police is in lies with its Commissioner Cressida Dick. It is she that has to carry the can for the political correctness that has emasculated the Met, she who should resign over the biased policing, the failure to properly tackle London’s knife crime and gang problems and also for this monstrous breach of security that could have seen the Prime Minister a victim of a suicide bomber had this protester been something other than what he was.

Because of Cressida Dick’s high profile record of failure in other senior roles, most notably her involvement as Gold Commander in the killing of an innocent Brazilian electrician on a tube train after officers mistook him for a terrorist, I was astonished that she was given the role of Met Police Commissioner. This job should have gone to a police officer who was not tainted with failure or by rumours of advancement because of her sex and sexuality. To give some idea of how Cressida Dick is dominated by political correctness she even appeared before the Greater London Authority and told them the absolute untruth that ‘rape gangs have been a part of British history forever’, this was something that could be easily disproved by looking back at the records of the 19^th century where there between 1800 and 1836 there were very very few gang style rapes of a type that at the time would have resulted in executions.

The role of Commissioner should have gone to an officer who would have kept the politics out of policing and who would have done all that he or she could have done to police London effectively, fairly and build public confidence in the Met. Unfortunately the job went to someone who spoke the right politically correct slogans and who ticked the approved ‘diversity’ boxes.

The result of Cressida Dick’s record of failure to police London properly and even equitably has been that London is incredibly badly policed. Too many Londoners live in fear of crime and experience disappointment at how the Met deals with such crime.

The Met needs reform, it needs the politics and the diversity guff taken out of it and above all it needs Cressida Dick to be removed from her post. The longer that Cressida Dick remains as Commissioner the greater the loss of confidence that her and her force will endure. She needs to go and go soon.

The failure of Met officers to properly protect the Prime Minister from what could have been a lethal assault, would if she had any honour, cause Cressida Dick to resign. Unfortunately it’s likely that she will not show such honour and will cling onto her job like a dried turd on a blanket. It is therefore up to the Home Secretary Pritti Patel to bring some pressure to bear on the GLA, the Met and Sadiq Khan to remove this individual and have her replaced by an honest, less politically correct police officer.
