The Metropolitan Police yesterday published an independent report by Dr Shereen Daniels, “commissioned by the service to examine how the organisation has responded to long-standing evidence of racism and discrimination”. It concludes that the Met is, in fact, systemically racist. What it really reveals, however, is that too many in senior policing roles really have lost the plot.
Using public funds to hire a racial justice activist to write a report about racism is bad enough, but the Met’s own press release skirts the bounds of honesty and integrity when it describes the review as “independent”. Commissioning an activist who makes a living from seeing racism everywhere was always going to end up with a thesis dripping in divisive critical race theory.
