Ex-Met chief urges reform to root out misogyny left in ‘corners of policing'
Evening Standard|October 11, 2021
DRAMATIC change is needed to root out misogyny and the remnants of a “Life on Mars” culture in parts of policing, Britain’s former top counter-terror officer warned today as a new report accused the Met of not doing enough to stop knife killings.

Ex-Met chief urges reform to root out misogyny left in ‘corners of policing'

Sir Mark Rowley said the murder of Sarah Everard in March and revelations since then had shown “there is a cultural issue in some corners of policing ” that must be tackled for forces to maintain public trust. He suggested that problems were present in “certain specialist units” — in an apparent reference to the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection unit that Ms Everard’s killer Wayne Couzens served in — and that reforms should include better ways for whistleblowers to raise the alarm. Home Secretary Priti Patel last week announced an inquiry into issues raised by the conviction of Couzens, who was sentenced to a full-life term for the kidnap, rape and murder of Ms Everard. The inquiry will look for missed opportunities to stop Couzens, as well as at vetting and workplace behaviour in the Met and other forces.

A separate review will be conducted for the Met by Baroness Casey.

Has this legend of the London restaurant scene lost its cool?

Once upon a time —not so long ago, less than a decade — being a D&D restaurant meant something. Back then, Le Pont de la Tour and Coq d’ Argent were governed by swathes of the most moneyed City regulars; Sartoria offered a hangout on Savile Row as stylish as any of its neighbouring tailors; and Quaglino’s, until recently, was the place mere mortals were most likely to bump into Prince Harry or Mick Jagger.
