Met police found to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic
Author of landmark report says Met can ‘no longer presume that it has the permission of the people of London to police them’
The Metropolitan police is broken and rotten, suffering collapsing public trust and is guilty of institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia, an official report has said.
The report by Louise Casey, commissioned by the Met after one of its officers abducted Sarah Everard, taking her from from a London street in March 2021, before raping and murdering her, is one of the most damning of a major British institution .
The 363-page report details disturbing stories of sexual assaults, usually covered up or downplayed, with 12% of women in the Met saying they had been harassed or attacked at work, and one-third experiencing sexism.

- To find a devil, it helps to be like a devil. Police have to be nasty to sniff out the nasty criminals. But it can go too far, clearly...shapesalad
- Surprised they havent blamed brexit.zardoz

- @SS - you may want to delve a little deeper, a lot of this is about blue on blue culture.fadein11

- Well... I actually had a immigrant middle eastern family live next to me for 5 years and it was shit. They lived on a different timezone,shapesalad
- so lots of noise at 2am, lots of shouting in arabic at 2am, spicy food smells all summer, all 4 lived in a 1bed flat that was more suitable for a young graduateshapesalad
- trying to make it in London. They constantly broke the rules that were set for the apartment building, listed in the foyer, and were aggressive when Ishapesalad
- SS dropping his bombs againfadein11
- mentioned the rules there were breaking. In another apartment, I lived below a muslim arabic guy who also lived a different timezone, shouting from 1pm to 2amshapesalad
- "spicy food smells all Summer" hahafadein11
- everyday, even xmas day, supper aggressively shouting, and loud praying songs. Both neighbours, with their noise, made it feel like I was living in the middleshapesalad
- east. I didn't make it feel like I was living in Europe or UK, and both experiences were negative. To be fair, it could have been great, but it's given me ashapesalad
- very bad impression and turn me into sounding like one of the callers in that video, lol.shapesalad
- I think to be fair, you can live next to shit white english people.shapesalad
- What no one dare say is racism is sort of a natural feeling, the desire to exist in a local area that feels like your tribe, where you understand each other andshapesalad
- share the same values and customs, is well.. normal. Of course living in a cosmopolitan are is also cool if that's what you want.shapesalad
- But what the callers here are against is a cosmopolitan/diverst... atmosphere being forced on them without then being asked if that's what they want.shapesalad
- The host is full of shit. Imagine if we moved to Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia and demanded that our women be allowed to walk down the street in a bikini_niko
- James o'brien is such a cunt though, a complete lefty, forcing his globalisation diversity view on everyone.shapesalad
- or demanded that we drink alcohol or demanded that they respect our rights as atheists._niko
- Humans have different skin colour due to adapting to our environment. The wests diversity drive = going against that adaptation.shapesalad
- if you want to live in a country you absolutely have to respect their cultural values and try to integrate into that society as much as possible._niko
- does the host think it's ok for your neighbour to practice female genital mutilation? what about the rape of boys as a right of passage?_niko
- If the UK remains a grey and cloudy place for the next 1000+ years, eventually all our non white immigrant's future generations will by adaptation become paler.shapesalad
- what about canibalism? there are tons of crazy shit that happen all over the globe in remote cultures, it doesn't mean we need to embrace and accept them in_niko
- So give it time and there'll be nothing to worry about, lol.shapesalad
- ...fear of being labeled a racist ffs._niko
- Of course, if global warming increases and UK becomes a super sunny place to live, then give it a 1000+ years and we'll all be brown skinned.shapesalad
- sorry shape our comments look like a shuffled deck of cards lol_niko
- I left Spain as soon as I could because as much as I loved the place, i didn't want, at the time, to integrate. I think it's an important aspect to consider.Nairn
- There are plenty of people living here in London – white and otherwise – who have fuck-all desire to 'integrate'. I don't think that is healthy multiculturalismNairn
- Honestly, most of the 'bad shit' i see here is less to do with brown people than white people who think, and do, get away with shit.Nairn
- obviously the caller is a moron as well, would he be ok with a polish Neo-nazi family?_niko
- reverse engineering open door cheap labour immigration may be a problem now, Windrush 2.0?fadein11
- Whatever - our country needs to have a deep look inside of itself and an honest analysis of what it actually wants.Nairn
- 'Diersity', if charted on a graph, has gone exponentially up since the 1940s. Perhaps it's peaking and we need to roll it back a bit and gradually adapt to it.shapesalad
- you joked about wanting to murder immigrants, shape. get in the bin with the other shit, you fucking twat.face_melter
- Wait. Didn't you guys get your country back after Brexit? Was it all for nothing?pango
- yes, it's brilliant here now! Like a different cuntry.fadein11
- Humans are ethnocentric, tribal and territorial. We dont know how to live in big multicultural megapolises -- archaic instincts come in the waydrgs
- What to do about it? Become a poet, a citizen of the world, without home country or ethnicitydrgs
- Or dive into it, step off the cliff of racism head first
In WW3 your skin color will be your uniform™drgs - Doubt it. Even China has beef with all the neighbouring countries.pango
- And Japanese aren't too terribly fond of Koreans.Continuity
- If anyone can tell me the difference between a Hutu and a Tutsi or an Igbo and a Yoruba or a Tigray vs an Oromo or a Serb vs a Croat or a Russian vs a Ukrainian_niko
- Racism, conflicts, wars, genocides happen between actual neighbours with minute cultural and ethnic differences at a rate millions of times higher than they do_niko
- Between people from different countries and different continents._niko
- So for the host to imply this is some kind of white British problem is absurd. He’s got to look no further than the barely “united” kingdom in his own back yard_niko
- Btw who does UK belong to? White skin people or all of its citizens? If it belong to white skin people. Are you all so monolithic? Or maybe only God's chosenpango
- White people? Or the rich white people and which rich white people? Cuz I bet every rich rich people would like to run it differently too.pango
- So who does it belong to? Or better yet. What is it anyway?pango
- It belongs to Russian oligarchs, actually.Continuity
