Boris Johnson blackmailed Sir Ian Blair into resigning
Home Office minister Lord West of Spithead said Mr Johnson had threatened to tell the media he had no confidence in Sir Ian unless he resigned.
He told peers at question time: "As I understand it, the mayor said to the commissioner: 'If you don't go I will find someone to ask me a question, with the media there, as to whether I have confidence in you and if they do I will say I haven't'".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

The plot thickens since Sir Ian said he was fired .......
John,
The question is why didn't the Home Office ensure Sir Ian remained in post until his contract expired ?
