the question to ask now is that whether you look at the metropolitan police and the british police forceseve that if macpherson were to come back and report again, he would still find institutional racism ? i think there is an improvement — albeit i have spoken to officers who are currently serving, these are black officers currently serving, and they say, well, they feel there is still racism there. but, i mean, the thing that exists now is that there are sanctions in the way for racist conduct and racist behaviour by police officer. there were no specific sanctions at the time i was serving as a junior officer. if one draws conclusions from the raw data and the numbers, if you look at the higher levels of the police senior officers i think it is still 3% or less of senior officers are black, asian or minority ethnic. given that the overall proportion in the population of bame people in the uk is around 13% suggests there is still a profound problem. yes. and i agree. it is still a profound problem and there has not been a black chief constable appointed since i left and i cannot underst

kennedy left the metropolitan police. but what about those who stayed in the force?th rosa and had fathered two children with her. last year, jim boyling was sacked by the met for gross misconduct because of his relationship with rosa. it's not clear how much boyling's superiors knew about their relationship. but the disciplinary panel said, "the system of control and governance over officers like dc boyling was severely lacking." they had a whole back room team of officers making sure their deceit was successful. they had training in manipulation. nobody stands a chance against that. boyling himself turned round and said having the relationships it's needed for cover. it's just an instrumental tool using the public in that way. and people going in have needs. so what, we are just unwitting, unpaid prostitutes? boyling disputes rosa's version of events, and challenges her account of their relationship. he also insists she was not "a subject of any police interest". three years ago, the met paid compensation to seven women, including rosa and lisa. the force also apol

figures, we attribute those to the organisers or to the authorities, although interestingly the metropolitan police didn't put a figure on it at the weekend, and i think that's because they recognise the difficulty of putting figures on and the political sensitivity around those figures. you were candid in saying at the start of the interview that one of the things that can affect coverage is what else is happening in the news, lots of other things, it is going to get squeezed, if there are not many other things, it may be easy to fill airtime with it. that is a difficulty, isn't it? you can spend the money, the resources, you are under an obligation, then, live trucks, camera crews, producers, to get your money's worth for the licence payer. well, not necessarily, i don't think there was a real issue at the weekend because of the size of the march and the issue that it was addressing. what about more generally, because there are lots of other demonstrations the bbc covers, demonstrations in the future of the nhs, for example, or the tommy robinson demonstration outside the bbc‘s salford headquarte
