Met Police’s racism and misogyny shame after BBC Panorama exposé
Manage episode 510143545 series 2548988
Scotland Yard chief Sir Mark Rowley has apologised after serving officers called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims in an undercover BBC documentary, which was aired on Wednesday night. He said the behaviour of some at Charing Cross Police exposed by Panorama is “reprehensible and completely unacceptable” - but he denied that the Met Police is institutionally racist. Dr Aaron Winter, a senior lecturer in sociology at Lancaster University, responds to the news.
And in part two, The Standard’s Theatre Critic and Host of The London Theatre Review podcast, Nick Curtis, joins us to review a new rendition of Oscar Wilde’s famous play The Importance of Being Earnest, from director Max Webster, which is showing at London’s Noel Coward Theatre.
