the head of the Police Federation of England and Wales (130,000 rank-and-file officers across England and Wales) has said the Metropolitan police is institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic

“There’s been clear failings in leadership … to address the very issues that should have been dealt with, and consigned to history.

“It could be argued that, yes, it manifestly has got worse because, you know, 25-30 years on, things don’t seem to improve and we’re still having these horrendous issues.

“If it’s institutional failings of racism, sexism, homophobia, that has to sit at levels of senior leadership throughout the organization.”
