Yet those at the top of the Met and their many apologists continue to deny that the Met has an issue...
"Good Law Project is supporting Kristina’s case against the Metropolitan Police over its continuing failure to hold its officers to account and to compel the Met to set out concrete steps to address the misogyny that is endemic in the force." |  |

it doesn't say what legal action the goodlawproject intends to take. the nature of the officer's unacceptable behaviour seems very clear, but they don't say what legal route / remedy they are pursuing. just out of interest really. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

As others have said, this stream of revelations seems to indicate a case for the Met to be completely renovated, similar to what happened with the RUC after the end of the Troubles. Perhaps it has become too unwieldy for one leadership structure to handle adequately. Certainly the culture is poor, much has also been said about the difficulty of diverse recruitment and the effect that has upon perception by minorities.
As much as anything, action needs to be taken to restore confidence in the institution, if it is to be effective in it's primary task of dealing with lawbreaking. |  |

What's really sad is they had the opportunity to pension off Cressida Dick and replace her with someone who was willing to address these issues and instead gave her an extension, a matter of months ago. And it was reported this was only because they couldn't find a suitable replacement.
If true, that indicates a failure within wider policing to bring through the competent leaders. And I think it a fair observation that those currently in the top ranks will have been pretty much silent and inactive on the cultural issues that are so ingrained in policing.
I wonder if they need to bring in some overseas reformers? They did it with Mark Carney at the BoE and I think he was widely regarding as an excellent appointment.
Something significant has to change or we just get the usual platitudes and nothing really changes. | |

I think it needs more than just changing the person at the top. They simply don't have the leverage to alter course to that degree in the time they'd have available - on top of keeping the thing running and having to continue working with those they might be censuring. Also, any new appointee is likely to be a product of that very system and have its (flawed) processes deeply ingrained in their professional psyche.
A task to be tackled from the outside, probably. | |
