Fresh controversy surrounding Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair erupted today following a remarkable outburst on Radio 4’s flagship Today program.
Sir Ian was being interviewed following the publication of the latest crime statistics showing a sharp increase in violent and aggravated crime.
The interview was brought to an abrupt conclusion after only 3
minutes when Britain’s most Senior Police Officer threatened BBC institution John Humphrys in an extraordinary display. Sir Ian screamed ‘aggravated! I’ll give you aggravated, you should try doing my job with this constant media attention from filth like you’. He went on, ‘we need a new regime in this country, and it starts today, right now, with me. If you or your liberal left wing colleagues get on my case again I will tear your f***ing head off’. I don’t want to hear anymore about the law, from now on I am the f***ing law!’Rabid Beast
Humphrys, who is celebrating 20 years on the Today program today, said that he had never
seen such an outburst in all his time at the BBC. ‘Sir Ian was livid, he started shaking uncontrollably and foaming at the mouth like a rabid animal’.Back on the Beat
Sir Ian Blair was seen leaving New Scotland Yard this afternoon after telling his secretary he was going out on the beat.
After what has been a turbulent year for the Commissioner this latest scandal will do little to relieve pressure from some quarters for his resignation. The association of chief police officers released a statement shortly afterwards in defense of Sir Ian, ‘from time to time we all have a bad day at work, I am sure that the public understand that, I mean, its not like he killed anyone’.
