"But secondly, and more importantly in the context of the suggestion that those arrested and charged and in some way being ‘rushed’ through the system, is the fact that those charged to date have largely made it very easy for the police to catch them, and for the CPS to authorise charges. They represent the lowest hanging fruit for the police: the people who were arrested by the police at the scene of the violence, their participation undeniably captured on camera and uploaded to social media; or those who chose to tweet encouragement of violence in their own names and dare the police to arrest them; or people who committed offences dressed in ludicrously distinctive clothing.

Inspection finds Met police failing or inadequate in key crime fighting areas. Crimes such as “indecent images of children, extra-familial child abuse and sexual offences were being investigated by new recruits”. The force did not give a good enough level of service to victims in 39 of the 191 cases examined. The quality of investigations “for neighbourhood crimes was generally poor, and lines of inquiry weren’t always identified or pursued”. This report is shocking but I’m not surprised. https://theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/15/inspection-finds-met-police-failing-or-inadequate-in-key-fighting-areas https://x.com/sammywoodhouse1/status/1823984382106865774
