Fury at under-fire Met Police over 'derisory' advice to women to 'wave down a BUS' if they don't trust a male officer as force faces backlash over 'deeply insulting' guidance amid 'serious questions' at missed chances to stop killer cop



The Met has today been accused of pouring scorn on frightened women in the wake of Sarah Everard's murder after the force's new 'deeply insulting' and 'derisory' strategy designed to stop a police officer abducting them includes advice to 'wave down a bus' if arrested. Scotland Yard is also advising that if a woman is stopped and doesn't trust a male officer they should 'run into a house', 'shout out to a passer-by' or call 999. Labour MP Wes Streeting said: 'Apparently bus drivers should stop if someone is waving them down in the street away from a bus stop, just in case, because that's a better answer than the Met getting their act together?! The more ministers and the Met are saying, the less reassuring they are. Utterly woeful'. It came as Dame Cressida **** came under more pressure to resign over the scandal - and the force's toxic culture - after it emerged Couzens exchanged misogynistic, racist and homophobic texts with his police colleagues.
