A Metropolitan Police constable has been dismissed for expressing discriminatory views about Muslims and failing to challenge improper conduct, becoming the seventh officer from Charing Cross police station to be sacked following a BBC investigation. The BBC Panorama programme revealed a culture of racism, misogyny, and excessive force among officers, leading to a series of misconduct hearings and dismissals. Other officers were found to have made offensive remarks about immigrants, trivialised rape allegations, and boasted about violence against detainees. The Metropolitan Police has condemned the behaviour as 'appalling' and continues to investigate further cases, with more hearings scheduled. The scandal has prompted renewed scrutiny of standards and accountability within the force.
