Summary

Despite overwhelming evidence of No. 10 parties, the Met refused to investigate them for weeks - until a last minute u-turn at just the right moment to sabotage the Sue Gray report. But is this behaviour really out of the ordinary for the Met?


We're joined by Kevin Maxwell - a former Met police officer who detailed being abused for his race and sexuality in 'Forced Out' - and Alastair Morgan - the brother of Daniel Morgan, murdered in 1987 after investigating police corruption.

Hello, this is Owen Jones, unless you've accidentally stumbled on the wrong channel,

0:18.0

leave your lives. Welcome to the show. We have a very, very important show today with two

0:23.8

absolutely brilliant guests who are very lucky to have. Now, the Metropolitan Police.

0:28.5

Where to begin? Well, so, that's just, just so we're not being gaslit any further because

0:35.6

there's quite a lot of gas. Gaslighting has become a national sport on the part of the British

0:39.7

establishment. We've had a pandemic, as you've noticed, in which tens of thousands of people

0:44.0

have suffered terrible, avoidable deaths in many cases. Now, a series of public health

0:50.4

measures were introduced to restrict our personal liberties in order to prevent the spread

0:55.2

of the said deadly virus. Those measures meant that people could not hold the hands of their

1:01.2

dying relatives, eight million people who live alone often suffered crippling loneliness,

1:06.2

loved ones were separated. We could go on with terrible social consequences. And we know what

1:13.5

the police did, in many cases, the police charged homeless people for breaking anti-locked

if you're on a normal salary in this country for hosting, including illicit parties. Now,

1:39.9

number 10 had not one, not two. I don't know how many parties they had. They don't know how many

1:45.0

parties they had probably because it was essentially, you know, it was Hasse Yenda on 10s,

1:50.5

number 10. Now, there were lots of police officers stationed there. And I make that point because

1:56.6

police officers all over the country managed to go out of their way. They actually went and

2:01.9

actively proactively found people violating anti-locked, violating lockdown rules. In number 10,

2:08.4

they were actually there. And yet, no action was obviously taken. Now, for weeks, the
