In the latest of scandals concerning the Met, Scotland Yard astonishingly missed several opportunities to remove a predatory police officer from the force who went on to rape two women.

Astonishingly? No not at all! Nothing astonishing about the met protecting a predatory officer. in fact it happens that often it's become mundanely par for the course!

Heigh-ho, another one.

... Is what we really, really shouldn't have to be thinking.

I feel for the decent coppers in the Met, because at the moment it looks like we're trying to locate the few good apples in a fermenting barrel of mush.

'Provan exhibited his insidious 'Jekyll and Hyde' character early on his career, when he was accused of sexually touching a 15-year-old girl three months into the new job.
The Met took the decision to interview him under caution but decided against any further action.
Members of the public who knew Provan growing up tried to warn the force about his tendency for 'violent and sexual behaviour ' and unsuitability for the role of a police officer.
Instead of removing the officer, the Met said Provan was 'referred to occupational health professionals'. '

FFS. This has to change.

Yep, and these people within organisations are so scared of their shadows and their superiors, it would have taken a miracle for them to find against him.
What do we see in the NHS as well?
