Met officers escorting Millwall fans at QPR: Policing similar to that we're likely to see in Epping on Sunday as anti-racists and anti-migrant protesters meet and greet each other. Nigel's tactics would be errrrm, different.

I remember reading this at the time, which refers to Kelyan having been exposed to gangs, drugs and grooming from a young age bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What’s disgraceful and misleading headline yet again from .@BBCNews .@BBCManchester 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 “bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Once more undermining policing where possible

£100k of iPhones and Apple Watches recovered in just 20 minutes 💪 Our officers responded straight away to reports of a burglary at a store in the West End. They searched the suspects' car, recovering the massive Apple haul and a machete. The three suspects were arrested.

Spoke to an officer of 21 years yesterday, just handed in his notice, and another last week with even more service. Policing will continue to lose its best people if it continues not to recognise that people matter 👍

Here’s why …..and it’ll only get worse due to “ tough choices & rotation “ @policecommander @JohnDonoghue64 @grahamwettone @Pc776G @obbsie @LeeLee2076 @MikePannett @PD_Sable @PoliceChiefs @Fedupcivvy @Andrewwhitton2

I've reposted the full post earlier from @csi_london but I thought I'd highlight this paragraph for the benefit of those additional detractors including it seems Farage, now crawling out the woodwork. It's a sight frequently repeated that goes unheralded:

A man was sentenced for murdering 38-year-old Saley Beya (Pic1) outside a nightclub in Romford Road E7 in the early hours of Saturday, 10 August 2024. @CrimeLdn @ScarcityStudios @999London @uknip247 @obbsie @dwaynamics @totalcrime

Sadly despite the efforts of first on scene @metpoliceuk officers, @Ldn_Ambulance Medics and @LDNairamb Crews and Medics, the victim of today’s stabbing could not be saved. Your service is appreciated daily. 7/1/25 Murder Investigation-Fatal Stabbing On Bus-Male 14 Deceased.…

An investigation has been launched by @metpoliceuk after the fatal stabbing of a teenage boy on a bus this afternoon in Woolwich🧵 1/2 7/1/25 Murder Investigation-Fatal Stabbing On Bus-Male 14 Deceased. Woolwich Church Road, SE18 youtu.be/_FAsC6jNbLU @CrimeLdn…

What a legend!

Two teenagers jailed for the murder of 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa following a dedicated Met investigation. Having arrived on scene while Kelyan was still being worked on, I want to acknowledge and pay tribute to the @metpoliceuk officers, @Ldn_Ambulance crews, and @LDNairamb…

What!!

Just changed from the Central Line to the Lizzie at Liverpool St. Two steep escalators down. A group of yutes decided it would be hilarious to press the emergency button on one.

Got lost & asked directions from this friendly but professional officer. Thought I'd tempt her into the Met. Alas, she told me she'd served for a number of years, L2 trained & was fluent in 7 languages. She simply had enough. Now her management is far better. Pay is OK. Wake up…

@metpoliceuk arrested 3 men for stealing 100 phones from a store on Tottenham Court Road. Oh the mighty speak and the met responses. Get 100 phones on first try. 😉 in less than 24 hours and actually goes on everyday. Given proper resourcing of police they may be able to do more.…

Looks like a please Miss moment

Someone has produced a microphone so it's speeches from the AR's interspersed with chanting. Numbers of anti-migrant protesters increased slightly. Lots of bored journos.
