Dame Cressida Dick resigns: Victim's mother says 'change has to start at the top'

Sarah Sak, who fought to have her son's murder investigated, says she is pleased Dame Cressida Dick has resigned because changes within the Met Police have to "start at the top".

Her son, Anthony Walgate, was the first victim of the 'Grindr killer' Stephen Port. She fought to have her son's case reopened when police dismissed it prematurely.

An investigation into the police's treatment of his case exposed "failures" that Ms Sak believes could have prevented other victim's deaths.

She was aptly named & oversaw the assassination of a Brazilian visitor on the underground & the murder of an Irish chap carrying a chair/ table leg that they mistook for a weapon. 'Help Ma Boab'

Если бы вы столько сколько тратите на оружие и армию и войны тратили бы на народ, тогда бы нищиты такой бы не было

sounds very much exactly the same as she’s doing with the pm’s partygate. not enough evidence, let someone else doing her job and appearing when the case is getting too exposed. she’s more interested in protecting her own than the public.

The Met officers who are not rapists, and misogynistic racists, do a great job. I should know; I've met both of them.

If it's Khan's choice for next chief then expect the "woke patrol".
