Ex-police chief condemns poll

10:00am Monday 22nd October 2012 in News

Former Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair has encouraged people not to vote for police and crime commissioners on November 15.

Sir Ian, who lives in Oxford, said the police areas were too big for any individual to properly represent. He said: “I’ve never said this before, but I actually hope people don’t vote because that is the only way we are going to stop this.”

Are you applying for a job at the Oxford Mail Darkforbid?

You made as much effort with your comment as Oxford Mail did with this article.
