Louise Casey says the Met is institutionally misogynistic
The social-problems fixer says radical reform to Britain’s biggest police force is needed
Louise casey has spent her career telling it like it is. As head of the Rough Sleepers Unit established by Tony Blair, she observed that handing out soup and top-of-the-range sleeping bags made it too easy for people to remain on the streets. After running the Troubled Families Programme under David Cameron she chastised leftie “do-gooders” for thinking anti-social behaviour could be fixed with more youth clubs. Commissioned by Theresa May to produce a review on integration, she said she was “sick of some men’s version of Islam: telling women what to do”.
