It's that sense of knowing that her friends had put them up when they thought she might still be alive. I got a bit tearful.Went out for a walk earlier and they're all around here too

Sarah Everard suspect: Met faces inquiry over indecent exposure claim
Force facing investigation into handling of incident days before woman’s disappearance

I drove past a missing cat poster today and thought about all the missing posters for Sarah that must be still up. It might be a kindness to take them down. I'm sure her friends can't bear to, but it must be awful for them seeing them everywhere.
So he was identified for indecent exposure, and he was still doing his job? Not suspended or anything? Fuck the Met, they really don't care about women do they?
But in a way, I'm glad. Because now we have clear fucking evidence that blokes that force women to look at their cocks can be dangerous. Flashing is so often dismissed as a bit of a harmless crime. It's not.

I'll be honest, I put my head around, and I got to Athos post earlier and feeling very sensitive about still really posting again on urban, it put me off. And don't someone say 'why mention it', I fucking will. Men don't need to 'identify as a woman' to perpetuate abuse against women - it's so much more fucking straightforward than that.
All very sad, an appalling abuse by the looks of things by the alleged (not that I personally have much time for the Police in many ways - they certainly were fucking unhelpful when I was assaulted many years ago because of 'well, you know, hint of not being female enough'). Some dreadful tone deaf stuff from the Police Commissioner, the usual 'women might need to be careful where they walk/what they wear/at that time' shit which is just apologism for the shit behaviour of men frankly. I'm sure social media is grim too in parts and although I feel lonely/disconnect by not being on social media, I think actually there are times like this when I'm glad I'm not.
I am buoyed, however, by the voices and experiences now really being heard from women in the wake of it.

I'm sorry I upset you. I wasn't having a pop at trans people; the point was about how easily devious men determined to harm women could get around the proposed measure. But I didn't pursue it, because, as you say, currently they don't even need to do that to attack women. Sorry again.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
For a woman who's managed to get to the position she has Cressida Dick seems to have a talent for putting her foot in her mouth. Her spouting on this morning about how rare serial killers are was a masterpiece in being insensitive. Yes she right, they are a miniscule percentage of the population and your chances of dying at the hands of one are indeed miniscule.
Yet she still manages to miss the point, This guy is likely to be the only potential serial killer who is a cop out there but there aren't supposed to be any. The public have a very reasonable expectation that the vetting process would weed them out. This isn't in the same league as nicking a box of donuts. The fact that he is probably the only one who got through is irrelevant. If there was one, there is no way of being sure there aren't others.
The damage this will do to public confidence in the Met (and every other force for that matter) is incalcuable and will have an effect for years to come.

Between morning and afternoon school run quite a few round by me had been taken down.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
The reports I’ve heard are that the police going house to house said that. I haven’t heard that CD said it personally. Pretty awful if she did.

It does feel especially sad, after the developments of the last few days.

For those like me who live in area Cressida Dick is remembered as the officer who ordered an innocent Brazilian to be shot. Did not do her career any damage.
She comes from privileged middle class background and on basis of that was fast tracked to promotion.
As a member of the establishment she got to were she is today.

That is the Met for you.
This would come from the top. That is Cressida Dick. Imo this is a political decision taken by the Met. I really object to this.
Despite pandemic people should be allowed to have peaceful demonstration on an issue that is very important.

hmmmmm
The crowdfunder for the £30k is doing pretty well. I have donated a tenner. Fuck the Met.

It's depressing to see a well-meaning Guardian article about men asking how to behave when out so as not to freak out women. The advice about hanging a long way back from women on their own, crossing the road if you must catch up with them and so on is exactly the same as nearly 50 years ago. I suppose it bears repeating but even so it was common sense back then.

fucking hell, 5 investigations:
1 about how the Met responded to the initial report of her going missing.
2 about how they arrested the officer
3 about how he got injured in custody
4 about how she went missing in the first place
5 about how the Met swept an indecent exposure allegation under the rug
#4 sounds like he was in uniform, maybe that's why CD keeps saying he was off duty.

To cover the potential costs of litigation to challenge the police's decision (including the possibility of having to pay the MPS's costs of the claim fails).
