Dame Cressida Dick will go gracefully in 2022 as the Met continues to be hammered over its handling of the botched VIP paedophile scandal, it was claimed today.
The Met Commissioner is in the firing line after Lord Brittan s widow said Scotland Yard lacked a strong moral compass and had a culture of cover up and flick away .
Diana Brittan has not pointed the finger directly at Dame Cressida, Britain s most senior officer, but said the buck stops with the force s leadership as they blindly followed the false claims made by fantasist Carl Beech - better known as Nick - to pursue her husband as he was battling cancer.
