@benofbrown I mean, the police are violent and corrupt and bigoted, but you can't reform them without first abolishing the Home Office, which oversees them (and the immigration service). Otherwise the HO will just create a new organization that replicates all the worst traits of its predecessor.
The Home Office is the unfettered id of the Tory press running riot with a truncheon. It's institutionally spiteful, xenophobic, and authoritarian, and it attracts leaders with those traits.
