Sarah Everard murder: Police boss Philip Allott urged to quit over comments

Published

19 hours ago

A police boss who said women "need to be streetwise" about powers of arrest in the wake of the Sarah Everard case is being urged to resign.

North Yorkshire commissioner Philip Allott sparked fury when he said Ms Everard "never should have submitted" to the arrest by her killer.

A Met Police officer falsely arrested the 33-year-old in order to abduct, rape and murder her.

Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has called for Mr Allott to quit.

He said: "He should go. I can't think of a more inappropriate thing for a police and crime commissioner to say at any time, but at this time in particular. He should consider his position."

Mr Allott has apologised for his remarks and said he wanted to retract his comments.

During the sentencing of Wayne Couzens at the Old Bailey, it emerged he tricked Ms Everard by falsely arresting her for a breach of coronavirus guidelines.

Speaking on BBC Radio York earlier, Conservative Mr Allott said women should be aware this was not an indictable offence - one considered serious enough to warrant a prison sentence or crown court hearing.

"So women, first of all, need to be streetwise about when they can be arrested and when they can't be arrested. She should never have been arrested and submitted to that," he said.

I see what they're saying about resisting unindictable offenses and being saavy but we try that in this country and get shot and or arrested for resisting arrest. Sometimes the only charge is resisting arrrest, begging the question, what were they under arrrest for to begin with?

When in doubt, get their supervisor to respond and other officers so at least they have to f you over as a group.

Ex-police chief claims it 'has taken death of a white woman' for trust in policing to be addressed after Sarah Everard death as she slams Cressida <banned word filter activated> for Met's lack of action in tackling misogyny

• Sue Fish, former chief constable of Nottinghamshire Police, slammed Met Police
• She claimed the force's safety guidelines have 'absolutely no insight whatsoever'
• She called them 'completely absurd' as fury grows about the Sarah Everard case

 

A former police chief has claimed it has taken the death of a white woman for the issue of trust in policing to be addressed.

Sue Fish, the ex-chief of Nottinghamshire Police, said every woman she knows would have got into the car with the Met Police firearms officer who used his warrant card to kidnap Sarah Everard and then raped and murdered her.

Ms Fish also slammed Dame Cressida <banned word filter activated> for a lack of action in tackling misogyny in the Metropolitan Police, saying its safety guidelines have 'absolutely no insight whatsoever'.

She rubbished them as 'completely absurd' and 'impractical' as fury grows at the handling of the Sarah Everard case.

Scotland Yard bosses are believed to remain sceptical about recording misogyny as a hate crime despite the majority of other chief constables backing the move.

Some senior officers are said to think the reform - drafted in March after Ms Everard's death - is not needed because present legislation is adequate.

Ms Fish's powerful intervention was echoed by Alice Vinten, who served in the Met for more than 10 years as a constable before leaving the force in 2015.

She hit out at the 'lads culture' during her time there and said women were still worried to report concerns about their colleagues.

But she was shot down by former Met Commissioner Lord Blair, who said: 'It simply cannot be the case that this lads culture of the 1970s is surviving everywhere.'

Meanwhile politicians including former Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and current Home Secretary Priti Patel also weighed into the debate.

Mr Javid today called for a reform to policing in London but said he backed officers who do 'an amazing job'.

Mr Johnson last night savaged the 'infuriating' failure of the Metropolitan Police to take violence against women seriously.

And Ms Patel ordered police to take harassment and flashing more seriously and dismissed the idea that they were 'low level crimes'.

Look at what they let this guy get away with: 

 

Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens showed off PROSTITUTE to Met colleagues at work party, calling her his 'bit of brass'

• The married cop brought a sex worker to a colleague's tenth anniversary party
• He called her his 'bit of brass' and joked about having to pay for sex
• An escort also once turned up at his Bromley station demanding money  

Monster policeman Wayne Couzens showed off a prostitute to his Met colleagues at a hotel party, calling her his 'bit of brass'.

The murderer, 48, invited the sex worker to his colleague's tenth wedding anniversary party, despite being married.

The killer, who was jailed for life this week for the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard, 33, also once had a prostitute arrive at his station demanding money.

Couzens was out on patrol and was called back to the station by his sheepish colleagues and escorted her to a cashpoint.

A source told The Sun: 'When he came back from the ATM he said she was Eastern European and that he couldn't be messing around with her or the people looking after her.'

Meanwhile a witness at the hotel party said: 'We knew Wayne was married and expected him to turn up with his wife. Instead jaws dropped when he showed up with this woman dressed really over the top.

'He was quite open about her being an escort. He said "My wife can't make it so I've brought this brass with me."'

The source said they saw Couzens in the toilets who was laughing about having to pay for sex, adding: 'He gave me the creeps and I wasn't the only one.'

The monster was known among his fellow officers to have arranged meet-ups with call girls in local pubs.

He was nicknamed 'The Rapist' by colleagues and was once reported for slapping a female officer's bottom at Bromley station, but no action was taken.

There were also reports that he drove around Kent naked from the waist down in 2015.

And three days before kidnapping Sarah, he allegedly flashed a McDonald's worker.

It had been known that Couzens' car was reported by staff at a McDonald's restaurant in Swanley, Kent, after two female workers said they had been flashed by a motorist there on February 7 and again on February 27. The complaint was made on February 28.

But last night it emerged the CCTV evidence showing his number plate had actually brought up Couzens' name as a suspect on Met police systems.

Yesterday a McDonald's worker who was flashed by the sexual predator blasted officers for 'not acting quickly enough'. 

The worker, who did not want to be named, said: 'The police took our statements and took away CCTV. If they had taken this more seriously, they could easily have figured out that he was a policeman who had committed these crimes.

'The police had three days to stop him but didn't. It could have stopped him from doing a lot worse.'

It comes as it was revealed that Couzens was deployed to guard MPs at the House of Commons on multiple occasions before he raped and murdered Miss Everard.

The armed police officer, 48, performed duties in the Houses of Parliament at least five times despite being nicknamed 'The Rapist' by colleagues and having a known history of sexual deviance.

The killer was even issued with an 'access-all-areas' pass, one senior parliamentary source told The Times. 

It has also emerged that Couzens received up to £10,000 from the Met Police in pay during the four months after his arrest.

He was not officially sacked by the force until mid-July after he pleaded guilty.

Couzens joined the Met's elite parliamentary and diplomatic protection command in 2020 with very little or no additional vetting.

The Met previously refused to discuss his Westminster posting and said last week his 'primary role was to patrol diplomatic premises, mainly embassies'.

But after inquiries by Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, a Met spokeswoman said: 'Couzens was deployed to armed static protection duties on the Parliamentary Estate on five occasions from February to July 2020.'

The revelation has sparked fury among politicians who believed they were working in one of the country's safest buildings.

Hoyle said he was 'extremely concerned' and would be speaking to under-fire Met chief Dame Cressida <banned word filter activated>.

He said: 'I have asked the Met to meet me urgently to discuss how this person could have been deemed suitable for deployment here. Further, I will be seeking reassurance that at no time was anyone on the parliamentary estate put at risk.'

Labour MP Rosie Duffield, who has been the subject of online abuse and threats, said: 'It's chilling that someone whose nickname was 'the Rapist' was guarding MPs when we are told that we are protected by a ring of steel.'

She also called on Parliament to hold a security review to ensure it does not happen again.

One senior parliamentary source accused the Met of deliberately trying to 'mislead' authorities by claiming Couzens did not have a parliamentary pass. 

A separate row has broken out over the salary received by Couzens after his arrest in March over the brutal killing.

The Met claims it was bound by law to keep paying him until he pleaded guilty, after which he was sacked following a misconduct hearing,

But a government source said Home Office lawyers determined his estimated £33,000-a-year salary could have been withheld once he was arrested and charged.

It is not clear if he will be asked to pay back the earnings accrued while he sat in a jail cell. 

The latest revelations add to the growing failures and oversights by police to stop Couzens before he carried out his horrific crimes in March. 

A former head of Scotland Yard said police chief Dame Cressida must be held accountable for an 'appalling series of blunders' in the case.

In a stinging rebuke Lord Stevens, who served as Met Commissioner between 2000 and 2005, said: 'You have to look at yourself and say can I continue? Can I continue with confidence?

'Can I continue in way that brings around the change that's necessary to make the public feel safe – and in this particular instance, women safe. And further, have we got people in the police service who should not be there?'

He can convert to islam for protection too. They take anyone.

He'll probably be in some isolation wing for a bit though.

A Metropolitan Police officer has been charged with rape.

PC David Carrick, 46, of Stevenage, Hertfordshire, is due to appear via video link at court later.

He was off-duty at the time of the alleged offence on 4 September last year in St Albans, police said.

Met Police commissioner Dame Cressida <banned word filter activated> said she was "deeply concerned" at the news, and a referral has been made to the police watchdog.

Mr Carrick is based within the Met's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, Scotland Yard said.

He was charged by Hertfordshire Constabulary on Sunday after his arrest on Saturday.

Mr Carrick has been suspended by the Metropolitan Police, the force said, adding that a referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Mr Carrick remains in custody and is scheduled to appear via video link at Hatfield Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Dame Cressida said: "I am deeply concerned to hear the news that an officer from the Met's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command has been arrested and now charged with this serious offence.

"I fully recognise the public will be very concerned too.

"Criminal proceedings must now take their course so I am unable to comment any further at this stage."

Crazy coincidence. Us has rapist cops...pakistan...india .. it's almost like rapists are attracted to joining the filth force, I mean police force. Or does being a cop also make you more rapey?

Only cops I ever felt truly safe around were the Japanese officers and the Oaxacans that seceded from mexico.

Nah, you have to have some strange mindset to want to be some judge and jury on society. Especially knowing full well you are joining an organisation that is now renown for it's institutional racism and corruption. 

Having to take orders blindly whatever you might feel about things. There's been a few cases of policemen and women being sacked and harassed from the force for highlighting the covering up of pedophilia. 

Being given that much power is naturally going to attract weirdo, power freaks. They are just getting some exposure now.
