BRITAIN’S biggest police force is “rotten to the core” and has “nowhere to hide,” victims’ relatives warned today following a damning review which uncovered institutional racism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Doreen Lawrence said findings that London’s Metropolitan Police is institutionally racist came as “no surprise” nearly 25 years after a separate inquiry came to the same conclusion following the force’s handling of her son Stephen’s racist murder in 1993.

The End Violence Against Women Coalition’s Andrea Simon said today’s 300-page report from Baroness Louise Casey was “damning” over the Met’s failings towards women, black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people and LGBT Londoners.
