Home Office’s Victoria Atkins says force should be held to account but avoids calling for Cressida Dick to quit

The home office minister, Victoria Atkins, has said the majority of people who attended the vigil for Sarah Everard in Clapham Common had a peaceful experience. However, the scenes last night were “very upsetting”, she added.

We are still in lockdown, the police were doing their job, why should they be held to account. A vigil for a murdered girl turned into a protest.

It's Not The Met. Someone From Above Gave The Order. Ms Dick ? Ms Patel.? Mr Johnson?

Peaceful Protests..

metpoliceuk pritipatel how can you continue to justify your blunders and actions? How can you not see the irony... 🤦

The police were doing right job and there is a lockdown.

No the people who attended need to be held to account. As if her poor family are not going through enough

What happens yesterday don't tell well the police could have just backed off and live them alone because all women are very angry about what is happening to them the killing is too much and the worst thing ever from the police it self

This was not a peaceful vigil in London last night it was a protest against police. This mob turned up despite the police warning them not to because of Covid lockdown. What ‘free Assange’ activists doing there. This was hard left gangs waving Palestinian, BDS & BLM flags.

The fact that Sarah’s alleged murderer is a police officer, the Met are trying desperately to regain they reputation but sadly it’s been laid bare to what happens when a group of people have become unaccountable for too long 🙏

You passed the laws and as a a result the Police enforce them , don’t pass the buck . Were you there ? did you gather the details of what exactly happened or did you knee jerk as is the easy option ? Get informed .

minister should be held to account

She's a bully and a joke

How about the person that the Metropolitan Police report to, namely Priti Patel, the Home Secretary? When is she “held to account” for her involvement and everything else she’s done? Ever?

I have this feeling that the police decision makers did not want a big overtime cost for nighttime personnel, hence took action to shut down the event as the sun set.

Bullsh!t Patel and Cressida BOTH need to go
