The METs integrity isn’t worth a squirt of piss at the best of times, they will absolutely back Boris on this.
*among the middle classes.
The working classes have known for a long time that the police have absolutely zero integrity, and the upper classes have always considered themselves untouchable.
Now that they’re refusing to stick up for the people who were previously stupid enough to believe the police were on their side, the Met have lost the only social strata that would have stuck up for them.
How anyone is daft enough to think that the Met, which is officially institutionally corrupt and run by a corrupt boss that’s been found to have interfered in various investigations, including ones for murder, and been in charge of the murder by the Met police of an innocent man, plus has multiple rapists and the odd murderer working full time for them has ***any*** integrity in the first place just shows how much the media keeps the general public misinformed
Still absolutely baffled as to how all attention is on the parties and not the billions that got fast tracked into chums pockets. Maybe the police should have a look into that.
Literal corruption. Maybe it’s time to do something about it .
As if some people think the integrity of a report which will lead to a few poxy fines, is more important than rot at Downing Street, public good, lying to Parliament, and hypocrisy at the top
Now it’s integrity is at risk ? Fuck me has the author been under a rock for the last 20 years.
Wait until the public find out that even at the end of the mets investigation, even if they’re as harsh as can be…The offence is an extremely minor statutory offence for which they’ll either receive fixed penalty notices, or summons to court that will either be dropped, or concluded with £100 fine.
No shit.
There will have been constables watching people leveing at 2pm pissed out their nut.
There’s basically no way they were unaware if this.
We need a an independent investigation now
In related news Djokovic’s Australian Open title is now at risk.
I guess it is the Tories approach to dismantling our trust in the police force and outsource to Serco or G4S.
Posted this comment elsewhere but its worth repeating.
We already fail to have any semblance of justice for victims of crime. It is woeful. 5% conviction rate on burglary. 5% conviction rate on all violent crime. Less than 1% conviction rate on sexual assault. I’ve been assaulted at work before, as have colleagues, and have been told by police they can’t do anything because the threshold for progressing to CPS is so strict, given the huge backlog of cases.
I would say the police (as an institution, I have nothing against individual, hard working officers with a community mindset) have not been serving the public interest for some time.
I would recommend reading a book called ‘the end of policing.’ Despite the high emotions that inevitably follow this subject, there are some very practical and sensible reasons for public good to strip back the use of police and funnelling the money into alternative measures like mental health care, housing, employment and training, and drug treatment programmes.
It’s a difficult subject to discuss because people don’t like the idea of criminals ‘getting away with it’ but they already are by a huge margin. I work closely with police on a daily basis in my line of work, and a lot of them share an appetite to do things differently, some of which is actually a return to good old neighbourhood policing, some of which is better use of social workers, contextual safeguarding practices, new roles in mental health care, etc.
Why is the Met so close to Boris anyway? Because of stuff from when he was mayor? Haven’t he and his Tory predecessors been cutting their budget and making their job more difficult for over a decade?
They never had integrity in the first place. It’s just more open now.
Honestly do not trust the police and haven’t done since the Sarah Everard vigil assaults, it’s become so bad that the other day I was walking around with my partner and police were walking toward us, I gently pulled her to the other side, so I was in between the police and her, I shouldn’t feel like this toward the people who are to uphold the law and ‘protect us’ but with everything coming out right now does not surprise me, but it still sickens me.
