Met chief needs to stand down from the position, his gender makes him too dangerous to be left alone with such responsibilities… (I hope ppl can read through the satire š¤£)
There are roughly 20 million men in the UK if you use 18 as the cut off, ‘millions’ so at least 2 million, this man is suggesting that 1/10 men are a danger. 1/20 or 1/50 would be at least somewhat reasonable, to suggest its millions is goinig way to far. Maybe he should spend more time working out why so many of those men are currently working for him instead of moral grandstanding, utter clown.
Well since we are stereotyping every race, religion. nationality and political persuasion on this sub atm I don’t see why we shouldn’t drill up to simplify everything and give us a unified scapegoat.
Statistically men are grossly overrepresented in virtually every criminal activity. That’s not being anti man, its a fact.
We should applaud this brave officer for telling us like it is, no frills, just straight to the point. None of that woke touchy feely stuff. He’s going to offend a lot of people but you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
It seems that he wants to blame the problems in the Met onto society in general, with his force being the shining lights with very few offenders.
What utter bollocks…
Just cuz they had a few rapists they were too incompetent to catch and now suddenly like 20% of the men in the country are dangerous and the met needs more cash………..
Well guess men are about to have our freedoms taken away to protect women
What do you think they’ll do
Curfews or GPS tracking bracelets or maybe we’ll be deported other than a few “good ones”
By implication, he’s saying *HE* isn’t a danger to women and girls. Just look at that face. I don’t trust him.
I didn’t know he employed that many men…
Jokes aside, this is patently ridiculous.
Well a study at a Kent university found 1 in 16 men where rapistsā¦. So not too far to believe
Statistically 1 in 67 people in the UK take steroids. Out of those lets say it’s 50/50 male to femail like 1 in 40 men are on steroids. And out of them like 35% are between 18 and 35 so maybe 1 in 25 are on steroids.
It’s some bad math but roughly 1 million people in the UK take steroids (based on nest government estimates) so when you whittle it down to a target group it’s pretty small.
Don’t really have a point just wanted to let you know.

Very low conviction rates for domestic abuse. ~2 million *suspected* victims, ~900k reports with only ~39k convictions. I’m not trying to victim blame but a lot of cases are dropped because the victims refuses to provide a statement. Maybe that’s a good place to start to get better conviction rates and take these people off the streets, better support networks and aftercare for victims is always a good thing.
Instead of supplying us with a problem, I think he should have thought of a solution before presenting this data. Or at the very least waited until it was published so people can have actual figures in front of them. It’s completely open to criticism as it stands and an obvious consequence of that is people not taking it seriously.
I wonder if men like that are overrepresented in your organisation, chief…
