Judging by news stories from recent years, you’d have thought that the Met already had enough rapists that they wouldn’t need to try and increase their representation?
I was all ready to say “I’m sure they didn’t know he was a rapist” but no….they knew he had allegations against him and went right ahead
*PC Cliff Mitchell applied to join the Met in 2020, but the vetting process flagged up a previous allegation of raping a child in 2017, and his application was rejected.*
*However, a vetting panel, made up partly of senior officers, overturned the decision because the force wanted to improve the number of officers from ethnic minorities.*
*PC Mitchell went on to carry out a “campaign of rape” against two victims, including a child under the age of 13, while he was a serving officer.*
Why is this not the front page story on BBC News? Instead it’s about a single shooting in a country we’re not citizens of.
Edit, since this comment got quite a lot of upvotes, if you have the time and inclination, you can drop an online complaint to BBC News here – https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints If enough people request an email response, they’ll soon start paying attention.
Surely this panel should be held accountable for overturning the initial decision?
The diversity in this case him being a rapist?
Whats next then? A murderer? A nonce? A fraudster?
I don’t know man, I think the idea of trying to ‘catch em’ all’ doesn’t apply to diversity hires.
The senior offices who allowed this should be arrested for ‘misconduct in public office’ and prosecuted!
We should all be gobsmacked by this. But we aren’t, because things like this seem to happen over and over again.
Diversity requirements trump the threat of rape. Its ideological extremism. Its insanity.
What’s that? Police senior management being grossly incompetent again? Well colour me surprised.
Remove those that were on the vetting panel from all positions of authority and decision making. They put children in the direct path of the worst kind of danger.
Same old stuff in here. The first question is what is the general policy for applicants that have an accusation against them, but not charges?
I’m astonished (but probably shouldn’t be) that the message we’re supposed to take from this story is “Diversity bad” rather than “Hiring rapists bad.”
Thank god this mishap was limited to the police and not something important like surgeons or pilots.
If he got criminal record he should not be working
If you read the story, he wasn’t convicted of rape she employed. There was an allegation, but no more than that. While not great the headline is seriously misleading.
Jeez, who are these idiots making these stupid EDI decisions? Treat everyone the same. Be colourblind. Martin Luther King version is the right way, judge everyone by the content of their character. This is why people hate ‘woke.’
Jesus Christ, the headline actually downplays this. They knew he was a child rapist and took him on anyway. Evil.
And people wonder why the white working class are disenfranchised and will overwhelmingly vote reform. This is what you are competing against
When are people going to realise that positive discrimination is still, very much, discrimination? It’s really not rocket science
The headline is agenda driven click bait. Thousands of officers weren’t checked in cases which had nothing to with diversity. Nothing the U.K. loves more than to use culture war takes to explain away all its cock ups.
‘Another Met officer, PC David Carrick, known as one of the UK’s worst ever sexual offenders, was also not vetted properly.
‘The review published on Thursday found that thousands of police officers and staff were not properly checked amid pressure during a national recruitment drive from July 2019 to March 2023.
‘Under the PUP, forces in England and Wales were expected to recruit 20,000 officers within three and a half years to replace those cut during austerity, and funding was ringfenced and therefore lost if targets were not met.’
