I always thought Bob Quick was a dead man walking after his boys raided the House of Commons office of Tory MP Damian Green. The Tories don’t let stuff like that go. I thought that Bob’s comeuppance would have to wait until after the next election.
However, silly Bob delivered himself into their hands with a security blooper and the Tories got to teach The Filth [a British term for the police] a lesson earlier than expected.
The lesson was that, despite all the new powers a supine Labour Government has given them, they have about as much chance as a boy scout troop against the ruthless Tory establishment.
I suspect that some more lessons will be taught after the next election. Fat Bob had the sense to get out before he was booted out. One or two other senior police officers might also be advised to consider their career prospects.
