Send Cressida down to Selhurst. Feed her up on cardboard food quench her with half a dozen pints. Teach her some songs and send her out with the Ultras right by the drums. Might not improve her policing but she would have the afternoon of a lifetime and become a true red and blue.

It's true that the awful circumstances of the Sarah Everard case are extremely rare thankfully. IMHO it is the betrayal of trust that people are so shocked and angry about, but that is no reason to start a panic of behaviour when dealing with the police. If it is true the murderer was known around work as " The Rapist " and he was not properly dealt with after the McDonalds exposure incident that does raise very serious questions. I agree that policing is difficult and very different to other jobs. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

People can be unfairly labelled at work but once that exposure incident occurred that should have resulted in proper attention being paid....this guy was a Police officer...indecent exposure is sexual and not compatible with having the responsibility and power of a police officer.....makes you think how they just let that pass.

Last time I looked, indecent exposure was illegal...... unless you are a man who identifies as a woman in which case you can wave your willy around in changing rooms/ladies lavatories at will.

I am an ex HM Treasury employee and I can assure you that many of them work very long hours (without overtime). Though some start late, they also stay very late. What you say may well be true of some other Whitehall departments, but definitely not HMT.
