As half its mounted officers face the axe, the cash-strapped Met is spunking £5.2 million a year on a 64-strong ‘woke’ taskforce. The Mailon Sundayhas more.
The Metropolitan Police is committed to expanding its woke workforce despite slashing thousands of officers’ jobs as it grapples with a £250 million funding gap, according to data exclusively obtained by this newspaper under a Freedom of Information request.
The document also reveals the mind-boggling array of inclusivity projects in the force.
Among 63 events celebrated on a ‘diversity calendar’ are International Pronouns Day, Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness Day, Be Kind To Humankind Week and National Tsunami Awareness Week.
There are also 47 staff support networks including the Bisexual Support Group, the He For She gender equality movement, and the Borderline Personality Disorder network, as well as 19 associations for various ethnicities – including Ibero-American, Polish, Italian, Slavic and Romanian – and support for followers of every major religion.
Scotland Yard is currently advertising for two “life events delivery managers” on £47,000 a year. One will help parents find a good work-life balance, while the other will aid staff with disabilities and neurodivergent conditions. Both roles are based in Kilburn, where the local police station closed its front counter to the public in 2017. …
The Met currently spends £3.2 million on posts in its Culture Diversity and Inclusion Unit, which will rise to £5.2 million once all current vacancies are filled.
And the force conceded: “This does not include any other posts that may lead or be involved in DEI related activity across other business areas in the Met.”
I would imagine a lot of households in places like Oxfordshire would…

Approximately three-quarters of the Met’s budget comes from the Home Office (LGBT+) with the remaining quarter coming from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (February, World Hijab Day) through council tax and other local sources.

Is there support for Black Lives Matter and its move to defund the police?

Because catching rapists, knife murderers and phone thieves is chromatically embarrassing.
This is the only way they can fuck with whi’peepo.

Weren’t we supposed to be feeling a bit sorry for the woke because of the drubbing they were getting?
Seems to me like woke stupidity is looking as strong as ever and not going anywhere any time soon.

The question must now be asked… what is the point of the Met and given that there is no point surely it should be shut down. This criminally led outfit is of no use to man nor beast and is not even serving the minimum of its original purposes. As a wholly unnecessary waste of taxpayers money the alternative is to put troops on the streets of London so that we all know where we stand.
Well at least they’ve done something right for once, here. It was the public that alerted them, though. They just had to show up. Had this convicted perv just gone and shoplifted instead, he’d most likely still be free;
”UPDATE: Hadush Kebatu, who was released in error from HMP Chelmsford, has been arrested.
”Kebatu was located by Met officers near Finsbury Park at around 8.30am thanks to information received from a member of the public.
He will be returned to the custody of the Prison Service.”
You almost feel that if he’d walked into a police station (were he able to find one open to the public) to give himself up, the duty officer would’ve asked him not to waste valuable police time.

Than goodness for members of the public. See, no need for plod.

Hear, hear.
You’ve no idea how close to real life that statement is. I came across some shocking dereliction of duty examples before my retirement.
