Meet Mukund Krishna, the “Self-Serving” Police Federation CEO who Suspended Chair Rick Prior After He Defended the Rank-and-File

Meet Mukund Krishna, the "self-serving" Police Federation CEO who suspended Chair Rick Prior after he defended the rank-and-file. He's a management consultant with no experience of policing, and it shows.

Rick Prior, Chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation, was suspended last week after he told GB News that senior police officers were discouraging the rank and file from intervening to stop antisocial behaviour by ethnic minorities due to the “racism of low expectations”. Now under investigation by the national federation due to concerns about his “discriminatory” remarks, Prior is being defended by the Free Speech Union.

Amid wider concerns about whether police officers who are the subjects of complaints after encounters with ethnic minorities are treated fairly, Prior’s suspension as Chair, just months after he was elected to the position in April by the Met Federation’s more than 30,000 members, has caused outrage.

Richard Cooke, Chair of the West Midlands Police Federation, told GB News he was “shocked and saddened” to hear of Prior’s suspension. “He is a great chair, undoubtedly only motivated by truly representing his members and the concerns of ordinary bobbies,” he said.

Rory Geoghegan, a former police officer and former special adviser to No10, has said that Prior’s suspension for “daring to speak the truth” was “ridiculous”.

And an anonymous serving police officer noted in the Daily Sceptic this week that “Rick Prior is a vocal supporter of… colleagues who are the victims of politically motivated misconduct procedures”. He added that “many colleagues are whispering that this could be one of the reasons for his suspension”.

However, there is also a second issue at play here, relating to the Police Federation of England and Wales (

Who appointed Mr Krishna?
I assumed the federation was run by serving police with any appointments made by and only by the members

The Home Secretary, apparently.

— Ethnic Indian Priti Patel in charge of the Home Office must have appointed Ethnic Indian Mukund as Chief Operating Officer in 2021

— Ethnic Indian Suella Braverman in charge of the Home Office must have promoted Ethnic Indian Mukund to Chief Executive Officer last summer 2023

No possible bias there, then?

So who appointed this Indian Tamil expert in asset management/ asset stripping, who only “relocated” to the UK in 2007, and has no experience at all of policing anywhere in the world, as CEO of the British Police Federation?

Who made this bizarre decision?

Who appointed him, and why?

At last, someone is asking the right question. As always, they are always omitting what matters.

Just found the answer:

— Ethnic Indian Priti Patel in charge of the Home Office must have appointed Ethnic Indian Mukund as Chief Operating Officer in 2021.

— Ethnic Indian Suella Braverman in charge of the Home Office must have promoted Ethnic Indian Mukund to Chief Executive Officer last summer 2023.

Well, well, well— what an interesting pattern.
I have read about this before, that once one Ethnic Indian is appointed to any job, they begin to appoint their fellow Ethnic Indians to positions below them.

It’s called “racism” and “nepotism”, networking to control.
Also called “collusion”.

All part of the war on white people.

Perhaps more accurately, the war on white working class people?

Especially them, yes. Middle class whites who support this war will come to regret it.

If this was in a farce, it would be not credible.

If this attack on an elderly man happened all the way back in July, why on earth are we only getting a picture of the perpetrator now? Could it be that the police have been prioritizing finding ‘legit dangerous criminals’ who’ve been posting ‘offensive’, anti-narrative stuff online or attending peaceful protests? Or protecting the usual terrorist-supporters as they congregate en masse every single weekend in cities? They had no problem tracking down patriots in a matter of days, banging on their front doors to arrest them for shouting at a police dog or chucking a traffic cone, did they? But breaking some poor pensioner’s hip goes to the bottom of the ”To Do” list, apparently. Talk about getting your priorities all wrong, they’re beyond useless;

”Detectives investigating an assault on a pensioner who was shoved over in a row in a west London bus queue have released a picture of a man they want to trace.
The victim, 85, was attempting to board a 220 bus at Hammersmith station when he was verbally abused before being pushed over and suffering a broken hip.
Police believe the incident at 1pm on July 2 was triggered by the pensioner insisting that women… Read more »
