Tube killing tainted top cop's legacy
Daily Express
|July 19, 2025
AT THE helm during the 7/7 terror attacks in London and the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, Ian Blair was effectively sacked as Britain's top cop by future Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
-
The then newly elected Mayor of London said that he could not work with the Met boss and forced him to resign, the first commissioner not to serve out his full term since 1890.
The shooting of the innocent Brazilian by police marksmen at Stockwell Tube station in the wake of the 7/7 terrorist attacks five months into Blair's appointment in 2005 cast a deep shadow over his career.
He had failed to appreciate the severity of the error and tried to prevent the Independent Police Complaints Commission from investigating.
Ian Warwick Blair was the younger son of Jim and Sheila, who worked for Lever Brothers.
