The Metropolitan Police is in meltdown over racism, sexism, and homophobia – and it’s stuck in the past, an explosive new report reveals.
Met Police Slammed for Deep-Rooted Prejudice
Louise Casey’s damning report, set for release on Tuesday, pulls no punches. It brands Britain’s biggest police force as institutionally racist, sexist, and homophobic, exposing a culture that refuses to change despite multiple official warnings.
‘Last-Chance Saloon’ for Troubled Met
Senior officials, briefed on the findings, describe the report as “horrible” and “atrocious.” One insider warns the Met is now in the “last-chance saloon,” with years of misconduct and discrimination unaddressed.
Triggered by Wayne Couzens Scandal
The report was commissioned after the shocking 2021 murder of Sarah Everard by serving officer Wayne Couzens. It probes whether systemic misogyny, homophobia, and racism within the force contributed to failings that put public safety at risk.
Leadership Shake-Ups and Unease
- Former commissioner Dick was sacked following the review last year amid growing scandal.
- IOPC director general Lockwood quit in December amid his own police investigation.
- Naseem, the regional director and national lead for discrimination cases, announced his departure this month.
Insiders fear delays in investigations into the Met’s conduct are “unsettling,” with no clear timeline for criminal charges. The force’s reputation hangs by a thread as fresh revelations come to light.
