  13. Ex-police head says Met showed 'institutional misogynism'published at 19:02 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2021

    The former Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police has said the Metropolitan Police's response to a vigil in memory of Sarah Everard on Saturday shows a "complete institutional misogynism."

    The London force has faced severe criticism for the way it broke up a vigil in memory of Ms Everard on Clapham Common on Saturday.

    Sue Fish

    Sue Fish said: "Understanding the context, as well as the law, is so important and I think on this occasion the senior leadership of the Met who were making decisions about how or whether this event should go ahead got it utterly wrong.

    "It feels that the proportionate policing plan that the Met was supposed to put in place simply didn't happen."

    Commenting on whether there should have been more female officers present, Ms Fish said: "This could have been an area that could have been thought through rather more.

    "And I think this just shows the lack of thought, and in some way a complete institutional misogynism, sexism, a sort of complete lack of understanding or insight into the experience of women."

    The Met Commissioner Cressida Dick has previously defended policing of the event, saying: "I don't think anybody who was not in the operation can actually pass a detailed comment on the rightness and wrongness... This is fiendishly difficult policing."
