He seemed a bit of an oddball from the get go but hadn't realised he was a failed candidate for the West Midlands Mayoralty and podcaster (with a history of platforming/failing to call out pretty dubious opinions from guests/co-hosts). Sounds like a grifter.

And accused a young teacher of racism (falsely) to try and help his election bid.

Thankfully is being investigated by his own professional body for such lies

Shame he hasn’t been suspended pending the outcome of deliberately lying as a solicitor though..

A bit unfortunate to have another officer from the same unit as David Carrick and Wayne Couzens charged with rape.

When I started this thread I had a sense that there was something fundamentally rotten and unaccountable at the core of the Met. Its far worse than I thought.

Certain jobs attract certain sorts of people. Often they have qualities that make them quite suitable for the job at times ( like the ability to stick the boot in ). Often these talents are totally inappropriate. Then there are the Weirdo chancers, who know that sticking on a uniform, makes them have an advantage over women. It must be fairly difficult sifting out the wrong 'uns; but some Police Forces have a p-ss poor track record of that.

However they're sifting, they're doing it wrong.

You are of course right. The intention of my thread was to display the utter corruption and danger to the public the Met represents and to get others to help in posting it on the MB of a Div3 soccer club to raise public awareness.

My worry is that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.

The boardin' spreadsheet in the shared drive does have a "rotten rozzers" tab which someone appears to be updating.

I’d probably want to know the facts before commentating. Not sure JSO are a reliable source

A cuff round the ear, like in the olden days, would probably have been enough.

To serve and protect Taylor Swift.

Top Labour politicians have been accused of pressing police to give Taylor Swift a royalty-style blue-light escort to Wembley. Cops were reluctant to grant her the VVIP service — which comes at a huge expense to the taxpayer.

Senior cops reportedly agreed to it after personal interventions by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Reading and listening to comments from the local community and the online perma-outraged, I get the sense that responsibility is being apportioned on everyone except Chris Kaba. As usual.

Not followed this one. Any idea why hes tried to drive off / ram vehicles? Bbc says his car was linked to a shooting but doesn't say any more than that.
