Anyways, the Met is rotten to its core. Burn it all down and start fresh.

The undercover reporter says the people on the job didn’t trust him and he was still able to gather all this evidence.

How much worse would he have seen if they actually trusted him?

Three years ago, the Met Police was put into special measures because it was ‘failing to meet basic policing standards’.

That ended this January because the Inspectorate says it has improved.

Don’t worry though. Between the filming of this and when it aired, Sgt Joe McIlvenny was back at work.

Hooray.

#BBCPanorama #MetPolice

Interestingly, it sounds like Sgt Joe McIlvenny was removed from frontline duties before they finished filming this because members of British Transport Police made a complaint after JM told a female member of the public
she should consider taking up sex work (because she was Asian).

Inspector Jim Morris is JM’s boss. He feels bad for poor JM. He thinks it’s not fair.

The most terrifying part about PC Martin Borg is that the undercover reporter believes MB was deliberately withholding his more extreme views because he (surprisingly sensibly) didn’t fully trust the reporter.

PC Martin Borg thinks it’s disgusting that some Muslims follow some rules but not others. Because he’s an expert on which rules all Muslims must follow, I guess.

Anyways, he thinks it’s hilarious that the station has been “accidentally” serving non-halal food to Muslims for weeks without telling them.

PC Martin Borg, who’s been with the Met for 5 years, says he enjoys getting into fights. And that’s why he joined the police.

One of the cops, not sure who, tells the undercover reporter (who has just joined the Met), that when someone new joins, you have to ‘put on a mask’ around them until you’re certain you can trust them. Then you can take the mask off.

Oh, how I wish he meant a literal FFP2 mask.

PC Brian Sharkey is very angry that people don’t like being stopped and searched for existing while Black. He thinks it’s unfair that they say mean things to him.

Later, in the pub, he jokingly says ‘if you’re going to be accused of [sexual assault], might as well do it.’

BBC has brought in a retired female Chief Constable, Sue Fish, from elsewhere in the country to watch the footage and advise.

I dunno, fellas. I don’t think she’s impressed.

Then we go straight into the independent report conducted following Sarah Everard’s murder by a cop.

The report, conducted by Baroness Louise Casey, concluded the Met was institutionally misogynistic, homophobic, and racist.

What’s changed in four years? Not much, it seems.

#BBCPanorama #MetPolice

We start off with a female officer bringing to her bosses’ attention a woman who’s come in to report being raped.

Her bosses find the story funny.
