At least now we know we’re not meant to be racist, counters Met

THE Metropolitan Police have hailed footage showing them hiding their racist views for months as a massive step forward for the force.

Metropolitan chief of police Sir Mark Rowley believes he deserves credit for creating a culture where officers conceal what bigoted, sex-obsessed, violent freaks they are, instead of revealing it at interview.

He said: “Seven months of building trust before they admit they’d shoot all immigrants! And I believe that given time we can raise that to 18 months.

“The job of outwardly detoxifying the Met can’t be done overnight. We’ve got to teach all our officers to bury their racism, homophobia and yes, even their misogyny, deep, deep down where cameras will never find it.

“Eventually, I believe we can create a Met where police only share their dangerously racist views in the most secure of WhatsApp groups or with senior colleagues of 20 years standing. That’s the dream.

“So please, give us a chance. I promise you the next undercover reporter who survives will only be able to detect bigotry in our arrest records and hiring decisions.”

Detective sergeant Nathan Muir of West Yorkshire police said: “Always the Met. Once again, our lads’ outstanding racism gets ignored by the London-centric media.”
