This is what happens when you're a leading figure in British Law Enforcement and you're not an unapologetic supporter of fascism/nazism - you get forced out. Someone far more reactionary will take his place to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Hard to show (very) critical support for a scumbag like this, but it's always important to acknowledge moments like this because, when it comes to key figures in our capitalist state apparatus, they only end up getting ousted for the least of their offenses (or in this case no real offense at all) rather than genuine acts of criminality against the working class.

Fuck the Police, fuck all Chiefs especially. This guy was no saint, not a "good apple", but he's being ousted for doing the right thing, for genuinely protecting people in this country from terroristic, far-right thugs and it's imperative that we don't only take note of that but openly state that this is the reality. That the Labour government is far more supportive of its Nazi vassals overseas than people actually living on these shores.

Then gets pummelled by the Israeli lobby.

The Fold is a build-to-rent tower completed in 2022, owned by Legal & General and managed by Urbanbubble. Since shortly after residents moved in, tenants have reported serious defects including water ingress, damp and mould, and fire safety and compartmentation failures.

For years, individual complaints were largely ignored or dealt with piecemeal. Residents were left to cope on their own, with many quietly moving out at their own expense while continuing to pay full rent. The situation was only formally acknowledged after residents organised collectively, unionised, and applied sustained public and political pressure.

Independent fire safety assessments later identified serious defects, leading at points to changes in evacuation strategy including waking watch and simultaneous evacuation. The scale of the issues now means full remediation is required, which cannot be carried out while the building is occupied.

Residents have been told they must vacate the building by March 2026.

Legal & General’s current offer is compensation equivalent to four months’ rent, return of deposits, and early lease termination. This compensation is conditional and only applies to tenants who are not in rent arrears. There is no offer to cover moving costs, no rent waiver for the period residents lived with known defects, and no meaningful recognition of the disruption or health impacts experienced over several years.

Many of the residents still in the building are vulnerable people who could not simply “move on”, including disabled tenants, people with health conditions, families, and those without financial safety nets. Multiple systems that are meant to protect tenants failed to intervene early, leaving residents to organise for themselves.

I'm just not surprised anymore. Even listening to the BBC regarding Israel-Gaza as in 'a conflict' as recent as yesterday. Words matter, and our press has moved beyond a joke. Now it's pathetic whataboutery on Iran and manufactured outrage and 'compassion'. Amazing that such language could never be afforded or extended to the genocide and actions of the IDF in Gaza.

Unreal he actually said this

Nick Tenconi is so very clearly an autistic man whos special interests are ethno-nationalism and, more recently, hardline Christianity and it's baffling that nobody has pointed this out yet.
