George Galloway MP commented on Bettison's resignation....
'I have been calling for this in my Early Day Motion in parliament and outside it since this furore broke, to force the chief constable to do the decent thing. His position has been untenable since the Hillsborough report came out and it speaks volumes for his judgment that he believed he could hold onto his salary and the reins of power to go at a time of his choosing. He is gone and good riddance. The criminal inquiry is ongoing but the verdict is already in on SIr Norman Bettison. I will now be demanding that he be stripped of his knighthood and his pension.'
