I know and my answer is 'tough' as I stated above! He's not in an anti terrorist role now, has been appointed and by all accounts he's very good at his job. If the 'community' don't like it well hard luck but I'm still waiting for someone to tell me who this 'community' is, where they've made their feelings on this topic known en masse and why they should have the right to dictate who the govt. does or doesn't appoint. I reckon it's the usual PC brigade and self appointed 'community leaders' who're whining and maybe if they'd done their jobs better this enquiry wouldn't have been needed. Appeasing so called 'community leaders' is what allowed the likes of Abu Hamza to openly preach hatred and for the authorities to turn a blind eye to numerous cases of abuse.
