Title: The Broken Met.

Rotten to the core is what it's accused of. Do you still trust them? Or is it so much muck raking from the rotten (IMO) Media.

makes disturbing reading. One thing that struck - 1 in 5 officers have personal experience of homophobia. Does this mean 20% of the force are homosexuals? Seems hard to believe

Could just be witnesses I suppose. I'm not sure what the percentage is for the general population but it can't be 20% imo.

It's muck raking.

You ought to have seen some of the Armed Forces, factory, building site initiation 'ceremonies' in the 60s, 70s & even 80s.

Before the snowflakes & now the snowflake wokes took over.

I shudder to think, when we went up to the big school at age 12 we all used to get our heads shoved down a toilet and the flush pulled. :boo: I suppose we got off very lightly, I knew it was coming though as I have 3 older sisters who delighted in scaring me with what would happen to me on day one......Cats. :angry:

Why do muslims always have to make things "a big deal"  what's the odd bit of bacon in your boot  or a scuffed koran ?

Its about 3% IIRC, but I bet more than 20% have witnessed it.

I suspect only 20% in the Police would admit to witnessing it though.

You can get death threats from doing things like that, they have no sense of humour whatsoever!

But it is something very powerful..
