One Blair has gone - now it's high time for a second to leave his job.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission report into the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes says that Metropolitan Police Force commissioner Sir Ian Blair was "almost totally uninformed" about what happened at Stockwell tube station.
This is simply unbelievable - either Blair knew what happened and lied about it - for which he should resign - or he didn't know in which case he is incompetent and should be sacked.
The report lays the blame squarely on Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman. It says that he "misled" senior officers by failing to tell them the dead man was not one of four wanted suicide bombers.
If Blair did not know, he should have done. He should have asked questions of his senior men; he should have made it his business to find out before making any public statements.
The buck stops at the top and the top, for now, is Sir Ian Blair.
Show some backbone, man, and do the honourable thing. Your time as head of the Met is as already tarnished as that of the man whose surname you shared was at No 10.
In the name of God - go!
