You didn't read the link properly - Kahn's role in the Met is at the top of the tree The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has today announced the members of his new London Policing Board to oversee and scrutinise the urgent reform of the Met.
The Board members represent a wide and diverse range of expertise and lived experiences and will support and advise the Mayor in driving the changes in the Met Police that Sadiq has long called for and that Londoners need and deserve.
Establishing a London Policing Board chaired by the Mayor was a recommendation in Baroness Louise Casey’s review of culture and standards in the Met - which the Mayor requested - to increase the transparency and accountability of the Met to all the diverse communities it serves and improve performance.That’s a Mayor of London’s press release. The fact is he’ll go anywhere, anytime to get a mention and a photo (much like Hackney’s erstwhile Mayor), but the Home Secretary appoints the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, because the Met has a wider role than just policing London. Besides, are Kahn’s boots big enough to be a real plod…? If someone sets the priorities and the budget of an organisation it's fair to say to they have an awful lot of power over that organisation. |

Besides, are Kahn’s boots big enough to be a real plod…? If someone sets the priorities and the budget of an organisation it's fair to say to they have an awful lot of power over that organisation. From the Met website and Khan in conjunction with the Home Secretary appoints the Met Commissioner The Commissioner is accountable in law for exercising police powers and to the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and is held to account for the delivery of policing by the Home Secretary and the Mayor of London. Both have a role in appointing the Commissioner, with the decision taken by the Home Secretary following consultation with the mayor.
The Home Secretary also has a specific role regarding the functions of the Met that go beyond policing London – for example, counter-terrorism policing and the national policing functions that the Met carries out.
The Mayor of London was given a direct mandate for policing in London in 2011, as part of the Police and Social Responsibility Act. As such, the Mayor is responsible for setting the strategic direction of policing in London through the Police and Crime Plan.
A number of powers are devolved to MOPAC, which is led by the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime. This includes the delivery of efficient and effective Met policing, management of resources and expenditure (MOPAC is the functional body of the Greater London Assembly that sets the policing budget, holds the Commissioner to account and in partnership discusses progress against the Police & Crime Plan, assesses the strategic budget position and key risks to delivery).
The London Assembly also has a role in providing the formal check and balance on policing in London. The assembly’s Police and Crime Committee is charged with examining the work of MOPAC and matters of policing interest in London, and in doing so publicly scrutinises the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime on a regular basis, alongside the Commissioner.ie He's a top dog in the running of the Met www.met.police.uk/police-forces/metropolitan-police/areas/about-us/about-the-met/governance/ |

The Met is funded by Home Office grant and through a portion of the City Hall precept — the share of every Londoner's council tax which is raised by and for the Mayor. The Mayor is wailing for more funds — no doubt partly to fund his non-police policing council. Will any go on actual policing or will they be used for the settlements the Met are having to make for the various “misjudgements” of its officers…? |

Surely that is a question better directed at Ghengis Khan - he wants the power over the Police so he should have the responsibility as well. |

Some say it's going to go from Khan to Corbyn, the Iranian backed Commie despot and attention seeking silly old man. London is finished as a civilised part of the world. Watching them celebrating a massacre confirmed that for me.

Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson and Sunak, the only bloke to raise concerns about that had his bank account closed.
It is irretrievable, they are here now, well established running councils, holding mayoral office and running the media.

Yep. If you have any strong objections to living in a caliphate, you should have raised some time ago - perhaps two decades ago. It's not like what has been happening hasn't been clear.

Many people did. They got shouted down for being Islamophobic by the only mob om15 left off his list of politicians only - The Left Wing. Multiculturalism has fuelled an anti-British underbelly. |

Interesting to see the sort of people you support Pacifico. The burly guy suckering punching a security guard a particularly fine example of English Nationalism I think.... the rest of your silly post is best ignored I suggest. |

As Laurence Fox has been saying.
Multiculturalism is not our strength. It is theirs.
And, although I don't fully subscribe to this view, the laws we have rightly made to protect minorities and different races, now seem to be being used against us.
Grabbing a flag out of someone's hand is not an act of a peaceful demonstrator. The Police are fearful of the backlash.

Westminster Council (of course Labour run) thinks it OK to allow these people to put a stage at the Cenotaph for their political campaigning - a campaign that is calling for the extermination of another country FFS.
They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
