Ali Dizaei
The Dizaei way of doing things
With help from the usual suspects
Ali Dizaei, guilty
So Ali Dizaei has been found guilty, is this important? Yes it is. Dizaei had reached up to the heights of the Metropolitan Police Force and made them his own territory. He was a relentless self-promoter but found plenty of help on his way from certain sections of the media. He was the darling of the race relations industry. As might be expected the fight back has begun.
The Guardian tells us - Ali Dizaei 'was investigated as though he was an enemy of state'
While the Times says - 'Ali Dizaei - ethnic champion in Metropolitan Police exposed as a bully'
The full Guardian story is HERE, and the Times is HERE. Take your pick.
Over the coming weeks television, radio and newspapers will wade in. Selections will be made from Dizaei's past to promote this or that point. The same will happen when the role of the Metropolitan Police is reviewed. What they did, or perhaps what they did not do, raked over and over again. What will be hard to hide is that the Met spent so much time, so by inference public money, furthering the cause of race relations.
