Metropolitan Police Deputy, John Yates, resigned last night.
His position had become untenable, yet he still stared like a man who thinks "fuck you, all".
His integrity intact ?
Hardly.
"No evidence", Yates whined.
There was plenty of evidence, but like many senior officers before him, he looked the other way.
The fact he was having an affair, coupled with the knowledge his own phone was hacked and people may know of his extra marital activities, was enough to blind John Yates.
Sean Hoare, a former News of the World reporter, was found dead at his home, yesterday.
A spokeman for Hertford Police said the death "although unexplained, was not suspicious".
It was Hoare, who first blew the whistle on the phone hacking activities of Andy Coulson, the Prime Minister's communications chief.
RIP Sean Hoare.
