Not a good day to be a press officer for the Metropolitan police

By the founding editor | Thu 14th December 2006 - 1:42 pm

First your former Commissioner announces the result of the Diana enquiry, then a couple of hours later your colleagues announce they’ve been knocking on the PM’s door. And all over lunch time too. It’s just not cricket.

And all this on the day the government announces the likely closure of 2500 Post Offices. While the latter will have by far and away the greatest impacts on the lives of “ordinary people”, there’s barely a dicky-bird in the press.

Read more by the founding editor or more about post office.
