(Picture: PA Archive)A recent poll by YouGov for the Mile End Institute, Queen Mary University of London found that some 63 percent of those surveyed said the Met is probably or definitely institutionally sexist, while 64 percent said it was probably or definitely racist. This will make difficult reading for anyone high up in the force, but is not exactly surprising given the series of scandals that have emerged from the Metropolitan Police in the last few years.
The rape and murder of Sarah Everard by by serving police officer Wayne Couzens and revelations of bullying, discrimination, racist and sexist behaviour at Charing Cross Police Station are just some of the incidents that have caused outrage amoungst the public.
