There have been some allegations that Freemasons have used their influence to protect fellow members from prosecution, but there is no evidence to support these claims. The Metropolitan Police has a number of policies in place to prevent any form of discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of membership of a fraternal organization. Continue reading →

The royal family should do more to address the issue of racism within its ranks, and to support Meghan and Harry as they continue to work for change.

Louise Casey’s review of the standards of behaviour and internal culture at the Metropolitan police makes for uncomfortable reading. It was commissioned following the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by Wayne Couzens, who was a serving Met officer at the time.

Casey highlights the prevalence of sexism and homophobia. Crucially, in considering police culture she draws different conclusions on the existence of institutional racism than the position taken in 2021 by Boris Johnson’s government on race.

It may seem like the modernist painter and writer Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957) and Kanye West (the rapper and onetime presidential hopeful now known as Ye) have little in common. But their stories are connected: both are known for making controversial statements about the Nazis.
