'The fall of an institution'.

Who would have thought it from Dixon of Dock Green to the Casey Report with its findings of cataclysmic failures and all the 'isms you can think of.

Met can ‘no longer presume that it has the permission of the people of London to police them’.

Who would have thought it under Khan's watch but there you go.

A lot of it just comes across to me as 'we've found faults in something we've turned our attention to for scrutiny against our nonsense ideology'.

Never been a massive fan of the police but lack of funding, as with much of the Public Sector, seems to play into their failings but a lot of other stuff I would have actually considered to have been marginal improvements on historical criticisms.

I look forward to the next report that says a member of the medical staff at Great Ormond Street once made a fat-phobic joke whilst off duty and has shown ambivalence towards those who wish to identify as lobsters.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Loads of management emails can be sent and go straight to the recycle bin. A new handbook can be printed, by a publisher who Khan's mates own and that too can find the bin straight after training. The report found what it wanted to, and was designed, to find. I would resign if a serving officer, and I hope thousands of them do. Basically calling white officers perverts, corrupt and racist. Best of luck with recruitment from the community Khan represents.

Red and Blue Army!

Many years ago my Godfather told me that police action saved his life. At that time he was an immigrant finding his way in London. He was identified as needing help and was there for me.

The bashing of authority happens far too often with headteachers seeming to be the latest targets. This encouraging of judgement of the established community on behalf of those who do not wish to abide by good standards does erode those standards.

I agree that there should be no places of safety for wrong uns in any organisation.

The Left don't want crime reduced. They want more of it. Look at how they effectively cheered on BLM as it wrecked US cities and the subsequent fall out over here. They want, primarily, black people to commit more crime because it means they can increase their desire, without actually being willing to do what it takes, to be their saviours. Less crime, less dopamine generating opportunities to virtue-signal.

s***, during the grooming scandals the Left actually defended the people doing it by way of securing block postal votes. Even liked tweets suggesting the victims of these gangs should keep quiet by way of promoting diversity.

But ignore all that. As always with this kind of thing, ask yourself about the timing of the release. Anything else going on this week in politics?

The Met is utterly broken. The facts about how much experience its response teams can put out on the streets is terrifying. Mates of mine tell me of being on supposedly 'riot' trained teams where some of the girls can barely lift a shield, let alone run with it. And of ex, potentially still very much so, gang members turning up as recruits. With almost none of them looking at much beyond getting a few years under their belts before buggering off into other jobs.

And a political class, for their own reasons, who don't want any kind of significant crime levels to fall. The Tories, because fear sells, and the Left, because crime keeps areas poor and therefore keeps their votes coming in. Both Tories and Labour.

We have a morally bankrupt and venal beyond belief political 'elite' who quite literally would rather see kids continue to be stabbed to death, or teenage girls groomed and abused because it helps keep their vote counts high.
