Got it in one there Tom. I too am frankly depressed that the Met have decided to effectively silence their bloggers. The worrying thing is that if other employers see this as a good thing we could find other large employers (notably in the emergency services) will do the same thing. Good luck and keep at it folks. I appreciate finding out what happens behind the scenes - I think it makes realise what I can do to help! BTW - I thought it read pretty well ... despite what you might have thought!
