Met Police officer videos toilets at work for Mermaids

So instead of protecting women’s spaces the police are now giving guided tours of the Ladies loos, with helpful commentary about where to get your bits out?
Beyond parody.

Hendon is the Police College, it's Plod Sandhurst.

(Not a terror target at all. )

Terrorism threat all the same?

Are layouts of police stations covered under the. Official Secrets Act. I would have assumed that this information was at minimum Categorised as Restricted.

TBH the WPC sounds Barking rather than Hendon.

It's not a police station, I don't think. Hendon is police training establishment.

I really thought you couldn't record inside a police station (let alone a loo)

Just seen this... so now everyone knows the layout of the “quieter” facilities at Hendon. Wonder if her force have acknowledged any potential security risks given she’s filming inside private (aka no public allowed) areas of a police station.

when even the popo are using hashtags for hardcore porn

Yep. Although UK police are a long way from the Texas po po.....

Thanks for giving a shit doobigetta. Hope that young chap got home safe.

Hardly Surprising that younger and younger people are getting involved with risky sexual activities and fringe lifestyles when even the popo are using hashtags for hardcore porn.

Well - my sister was (still is I guess) on the scene from 30 years back but the stories I hear from friends who are in it now (men - I think they are a bit more ‘adventurous’ anyway) it sounds pretty seedy.

I know someone who was heavily into the London gay scene. He claims it has got a lot darker over the past decade or so. Lots more casual hook ups and loads of drugs. Plenty of casualties. He was, effectively, one and needed to leave London to get away from the life style.

My instinct is that at the root of all if this is a vein of international sexual libertarianism, adopted, not least, by some very affluent people. Women have fought the transgender elements, wanting to protect vulnerable women and children. The Mail, bless 'em, have doggedly pursued Jeffrey Epstein/Prince Andrew story. (It was they who first located the witness living in a remote Austrational town. There is still the huge question of where all the money come from, and why the US authorities are not moving fast. I suspect the Mail knows the answer.) Whilst it remains all fun down at Pride, even though early Stonewall campaigners may have real misgivings. I wonder if young gay men are just as vulnerable as female ROGD teenagers and equally sold the line that behaviors are normal and indeed brave.

There seem to be a lot of unsavory characters around.

Judging from this, the police don't seem to care, even if the drugs are illegal.

I did say to be careful what you click.
Surely tagging #chemsex on Twitter in capacity as police offiver should be a disciplinary issue let alone the other stuff.

It links directly to hardcore porn.

Oh, I see. Sorry

I think I may have found myself on the same rainy street corner as Doobigetta two weeks ago.

Some of those furries and pups were indeed very young and vulnerable (also freezing cold)

Thanks for thinking of us. Feel free to tag us in here or on twitter.
We are aware and arranging next steps.

FYI - Spoc is 'single point of contact' we use them for all sorts of reasons. Basically a liaison officer. It's not a paid role and is usually done alongside/around your paid role.

There is raising a serious issue from a training course and there is hashtagging it on Twitter!!!!! Never do the second one.

If you click that hash tag be careful there are no young eyes around

Many penetration videos come up.

This officer isn't just stupid, is an actual danger.

What a peculiar little weirdo she is . Is a transgender Spock an official position, (is it a thing at all?!) or has she self ID’d as one?
Pity she wouldn’t think to identify as a fucking police officer, the little twit.

In her introductory video, here twitter.com/katelgbtq/status/1227692627157495809 before she goes on her toilet voyeurism tour, Kate tells us she is a 'transgender spock' (wtf??) which, she explains, does not mean she's transgender herself, but is the person transgender or transitioning officers can talk to in confidence (because of protection by GRA) about things like 'toilets, changing rooms and uniform fitting issues.'

Caroline Criado Perez covers the longstanding issues women police officers have had with uniform fitting issues, namely that stab vests are made for male bodies (at least one woman officer has been killed as a direct result.)

The people whom Kate is trying to ingratiate with her perky videos will not have their lives put at risk by 'uniform fitting issues'. The people who will are not going to be at risk because they are transgender, but because they are women. But who cares about them? No costly campaign to make them feel valued. Not even enough cash to ensure their lives are adequately protected.

Thanks for the explanations. So, excuse my ignorance, but why on earth is a police officer hashtagging anything with 'chemsex'? What earthly reason would there be for that? Is she promoting it? Raising awareness of it? And if so, why?!

Great question Scrimshaw It's beyond bizarre, but the police seem to have rewritten their role at the behest of Stonewall. It's quite astounding.

The world is a weird, fucked up place now. A few weeks ago a friend and I found ourselves across the road from a club running a fetish night. We were watching the furries in the queue for a few minutes and eye rolling, and then we noticed a young man puking his guts out next to them. From where we were standing he looked about fifteen, he was very small and slight, and wearing nothing apart from bondage gear, so basically naked. And it was pouring, and blowing a gale, and very cold. And this very young man had a similarly dressed but much, much bigger man standing over him while he was being sick. So as from where we were the guy looked underage and incredibly vulnerable we went over- it didn’t feel right not to see if he was ok. So two minutes later we were surrounded by men in bondage gear and bouncers telling us to fuck off and mind our own business. (It was clear by this point that although he was very very young, and the puking wasn’t just alcohol related, he was over 18.) And then we were confronted by another guy, this one dressed head to toe in rubber, who was quite happy to tell us that there was nothing to be concerned about and nobody was at any risk at all, and he knew that because he was an off-duty police officer... it definitely felt like the moment I officially joined the older generation.

If anyone is reporting directing to Met then suggest Met Professional Standards Directorate should be copied in.

.. or sleep with horses (actually, scratch the last one)..

I bridled at that.

This kind of stuff, along with lesbians being beaten on a London bus, is what our police forces’ LGBT specific staff should be getting to grips with. Instead they are fannying about over unkind tweets and doing guided video tours of the female lavatories.

YY.

@SerendipityJane then that's not relevant to this particular thread? What's your point, in supporting women's rights that is
