Thornton has worked within the Met well enough to know the territory, but has been at Thames Valley long enough to distance herself from the mess. And she certainly seems smart and capable.<br /><br />She could be a star for Gemma and Melody to hang their hats on. (Am I mixing my metaphors this morning. Yawn.)Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658027347346424733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-55416009743346797462011-08-02T09:48:52.410-04:002011-08-02T09:48:52.410-04:00Sara Thornton, the Helen Mirren of Scotland Yard--...Sara Thornton, the Helen Mirren of Scotland Yard--nice ring to it.

One thing this scandal has shown (yet again) is that the Old Boys network and cozy professional ties lead to corruption - even among those we most trust to guard our liberties. <br /><br />Bring in some people who don't weekend together and put them in charge.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.com
