Congratulations on the Promotion Yates
Guido is sure that many co-conspirators will wish to congratulate Assistant Commissioner Yates on his just confirmed promotion. Well timed and well deserved given the impotent "we're going to get you for this" spin from Downing Street bunker loyalists.Even that weather-vane arse-coverer Sir Ian Blair can see which way the wind is blowing: "I'd like to congratulate John Yates on his appointment as Assistant Commissioner. In a long and distinguished career with the Metropolitan Police Service, he has consistently demonstrated his policing ability, working at the highest levels."

Does he get a knighthood with the job...if not I know a Scots guy who might be able to help him....
Is he being rewarded in advance for a whitewash?
Ever more the Bunker mentality, Stalingrad springs to mind.
Promotion by the establishment is a quick way to buy someone's silence.
Copper gets promoted: gasp shock horror! Plots, rumours or conspiracy seem to be a bit thin on the ground today....
So, other than making a total balls-up of bringing that arch slimeball Burrell to justice and spending months getting nowhere against the biggest liar and con man this country has ever known, what exactly has Yates actually done. This has all the hallmarks of a reward for a cover up to me.
Sir Ian Blair and those who put Yates up for promotion have all the political antenne of an arthritic ant.
If Yates charges Blair we will all cheer. If Yates doesn't charge Blair and the investigation comes to naught we will claim a whitewash and that Yates was bought off.......
"He has consistently demonstrated his policing ability, working at the highest levels." - Sir Iain Blair
Yes Sir Iain, you know that Yates has got enough evidence to arrest Tony and it would have been unseemly for a mere deputy to arrest a Prime Minister.
Listen for the single gunshot from the No 10 bunker.
Roland Rat
If that was the plan wouldn't they have waited until he confimed no further pursuit of the Oleagenous One?
Oh God. I feel a tidal wave of cynicism washing over me. How convenient that a promotion (and, presumably, pay rise) should come along just now.
I suspect we shall find out in the next few weeks whether Yates is a man of principle or easily bought off.
None of this matters in "Blairworld".....Tone will be carried shoulder high with AC Yates, Sir Ian Blair (2nd cousin twice removed?), Scarlett John and Lord Mutton as the pall bearers.
Charges ?? Never!! Gold leaf carpets and jewelled crowns for this hero who saved the planet, ended starvation and defeated every terrorist that ever existed.
Who knows he may even have the humility to forgive all those who doubted his supreme powers and honesty.
By the way when when is he going to collect that award that Bush gave him?
The man is in a pretty impossible position, lets give him the benefit of the doubt.
Be interesting to see what would happen if Blair refused to be arrested, or resign, dont put it past him
"Do you know who I am ?"
I just worry what he and Levy are cooking up in Israel , maybe Blair will convert and stay over there.
I think I would convert to judaism if it got me away from the wicked witch.
There is a tendency to promote the incompetent. I would much rather it was based on results.
What was Ian Blair meant to say? "That's a bad idea, the man's a turd"?
I hear the colour scheme in No 10 is changing to a not fragrant runny Brown as the perversion of justice enquiry kicks into gear.
Hope Gordon has got IP rights to Brown
It all seems a bit too obvious, though.
I know a few nightclub owners who are regular donors to those worthwhile charities!
There's a rumour going around, that Yates might actually have some real shit on B-Liar, such as ordering the destruction of documents - paper and electronic media.
Tsk tsk, as any one knows that is a no-no, and represents perverting the course of justice, a rather more nastier charge than lying or flogging honours.
Of course NuLab after Hutton and et al are well versed in covering their tracks and thwarting apparatchiks tasked with enquiry. But, taking on the MET is cocking a snoot at the whole democratic process.
Come on, PEOPLE! Why else do you think they've got a uniform on Tony's front door ... ?
Humphrey the Cat was onto them from Day One.
Technical note.
It is easy to find crap on your computer. Just go to http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html and get this free program. Then do a keyword search (think up your own key words, such as "cash for honours").
I found emails going back to May that I thought had long gone, and that was after using commercially available cyber shredders.
He is much better looking than Lembit Opik, surely he should be in the frame with the Cheeky Girls?
The bunker analogy is getting a little tired, but I will add this:
Hitler poisoned his beloved dog with cyanide before shooting himself.
Scoffy.
morning JHL you murderer!
one day at a time , just try and avoid stabbing any women to death for one more day.
You are on the road to recovery

You got a "result" when you bucthered that woman didnt you JHL?
Im finished Guido (+:
just as long as people here know that JHL butchered a woman in 1979, Fucking bar him , you wouldnt be too pleased to leave have him as a neighbour
So, it's official then. The PM gets off scot free. He's not the first moron to reach such dizzy heights, and won't be the last.
How is Brian "the iron" Paddick these days?

He was a suit at CIB. It's easier to investigate allegations against fellow police officers than tackle real criminals.
Blair is a SCOT, of course he'll go free.
After Blair is transferred to The Bastille courtesy of Chirac - Yates can buy a trilby and take over at The Yard
"peter hitchens" your apology to Guido is worthless, which sums you up. Stick to post, or I will see you in court.

"re JHL:
rhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,1949501,00.html"
Thanks for this. All should read it. He was described yesterday as "radio rental" and in my professional opinion that is an accurate diagnosis. Guido would do well to delete his every post.
I read the link to the Guardian article re JHL. Jesus Christ.
Hitchens...you refer to JHL stabbing his victim. I'll think you'll find he actually used a hatchet. Psycho's can be very touchy about getting such details wrong. Wouldn't want the mad axeman JHL reduced to the far less sexy, and common, 'knifeman' would we now.
Re: http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,1949501,00.html
Careful if he he gets that wound up about leaving the lids off jam jars I wouldn't push him.
I wouldn't worry too much anon (1.01pm). Scum that take hatchets to little old defenceless ladies are not renowned for their courage when faced with less vulnerable targets.
Ever wondered why it's always a "frenzied" knife attack and never just a "knife attack"? Cos it's unlikely you'll die after the first or second stab, and once the adrenalin kicks in you can keep fighting back for twenty or thirty stabs. I don't know how it works with axe attacks. Does the victim get up after the first bash? JHL?
Hirst
Fucking sue me (+:
I look forward to laughing my bollocks off in court as you defend you "good name"
Cunt!
You may find me more of a handful than a 63 year old woman
On the night he was arrested, a police officer remembered asking Hirst in his cell if he felt any remorse. "No, it is part of life," he said. "It is all in the past and I can forget it now. I bet she had got a bit of a headache."
Yatsie("all notebook, no handcuffs"), may I offer him my sincere congatulations and withdraw earlier snide remark. Your masterstroke in showing Pole + Co the "destroying/hiding evidence" card will yield a good dividend. Not too long "Arise Sir Yatsie". Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.
Time for the police to level the account with the liberal establishment. They have been on the back foot since the far left decided to use Brixton as an experimental revolutionary base in the 1970s, fermenting the Brixton riots (more white than black arrested...) and introducing the idea of policing by consent.
They then used the Lawrence case as a stick to beat them (there are some very bitter policemen about the way that case was distorted), then dubbed them institutionally racist, then introduced 'community disruption' officers to try and further dilute the traditional (ie nicking criminals) British police culture.
It's my experience that those who make the biggest noise about other people's supposed offences that have the most to hide. Funny how the press just hasn't got near the daily fever pitch that marked the last three years of the Major government...
Fever pitch will only happen when Murdoch unleashes the dogs of war. He will not until Blair/Brown blood in the gutter. This is some time in future. He owes Blair and knows he can buy Brown whose moral compass is disappearing up his arse at a rate of knots. Such is the lust for power. Son of manse as scarlet harlot.
Now Blair has Levy back on board Gordon needs to watch his back.

Is that the same Lembit Opik whose cheeky partner is one of a duo who in August of this year were refused further leave to remain in the UK? The same duo who face an unpaid £4,500 tax bill?
Get your ugly crooked face from out of her crutch Lembit, pull yourself together man, and have a quiet word in yer slappers ear. She's making an ass out of you. And you, you ugly bastard, are making a ass of those fools who voted you into office.
I would much rather it was based on results.
A Result in your case would have been a noose.
Morrocco,
In any civilised country policing is by consent. Anything else would make the place a police state.
Try reading Sir Robert Peel's advice to coppers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_Principles
Perhaps the most telling part is: "the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence".
If coppers behave in any other way then the UK becomes a police state.
It might not be a bad idea for the current crop of muppets in the Home Office to read it as well.
Serf!
Fucking brilliant (+:
The scoffer - Hitler poisoned his beloved dog with cyanide because he wanted to see how long it would take it to die. That is why he shot himself.
JHL - is beyond scum. He shouldn't be putting himself forward to associate with humans.
Well said, Serf!! Brilliant as PHitch said with typical understatement.
Yates is very nice looking,BTW.
remittance - apologies, I wasn't very clear. What I meant by policing by consent was the idea that an area can be swamped with quite widespread criminality, but because of its ethnic make-up or bottom of the barrel status, that police can only proceed with great care in case they upset the locals.
Going in and nicking crimnals is usually called 'heavy handedness' by 'community leaders'. What they mean is, leave us alone, this our patch run by our rules.

WTF?!! Look at the picture Guido has posted again and tell me that Yates doesn't resemble one of those little dwarf guys you see at the circus! Big forehead, little body. His legs end just above the word "comments". In fact, Guido, could you post a picture of such a little guy beside Yates so the resemblance can be seen by the blind?
Whose the little acting dwarf fecker with a few more lines than Yates? He could be his dad. Had Yates walked into No. 10, staff would have had fun dwarf throwing him down a corridor. Or has that now been banned too?
He is nice looking. He looks like Sgt Lewis (ie Morse's sidekick).
Am I the only one to notice a striking resemblance between AC Yates and a youthfull Hannibal Lecter, as portrayed by Anthony Hopkins?
I wonder what Yates like to drink with Liver?
I think Private Eye should be told.
Morrocco,
Ah, understood. You meant "policing by the consent of criminals".
Yeah, I agree, a very bad thing.
Verity,
At first glance I thought he was good looking too, at least in comparison to the usual male 'totty' featured here. In reality, he is actually a minger.
M x
I don't accept your assessment,Margorie. I think he looks interesting.
When you write "in reality", does that mean you know him? Just a point of interest because, in fact, I don't give a stuff whether he is cute or not as long as he defeats the Blair regime.
Cute would be a bonus. Prising blair out of Downing Street, even if it has to be done with tweezers - oh! - there's a thought! - is a matter of grave concern.
Tony Blair is such an un-man (TM) that you couldn't even send him round the back of the shed because he wouldn't know how to drink whisky and he wouldn't know how to shoot a pistol. Two things real men have done since time immemorial.
Blair would order up tenth-rate "colleagues" for a rolling couch meeting. Or actually, he may already be on his rolling couch for a rolling meeting.
