Mock “appeals for information” posters highlighting misogynistic, racist and homophobic comments made by police officers in Charing Cross police station have been erected in London to increase pressure on the government to launch an inquiry into misogyny within the police.

A-board signs were put up on Friday mimicking those used by police after a serious incident, which protesters led by the Women’s Equality party said was an exchange that took place between officers, in which one said: “Knock a bird about and she will love you. Human nature. They are biologically programmed to like that s***.”
