To the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police

When asked why they had given payouts to people who had sued them without due cause, the Met spokesman said that it was cheaper just to settle. The idea is dubious; publicising it idiocy.

A policy of settling lawsuits
Will bear a harvest of bitter fruits.
To ignore the merits of the case
Leads only down into disgrace.
Claims should not be settled thus
Or, with time, things will get worse.
Greasy chancers will appear,
And fire in lawsuits far and near.
Nuisance suits will form a blizzard
Till paying them off sticks in your gizzard.
