I’m an ex Met officer. Nobody conducts themselves in a homophobic, misogynistic or racist manner when a higher level officer is in their midst. This should be screaming obvious to anyone with half a brain. It’s no different to children acting up, and then adjusting their behavior when adults or parents then enter the room. It’s literally being aware of accountability being present.

[drummingtildeath]

It's like he's trying his hardest to just be an objectionable bell end.

[geoffsmith]

Has 30p ever witnessed dishonest practices when doorstep canvassing?

[bobby]

The fact that Lee Anderson can scrutinise anyone’s professional conduct is truly astonishing.

[steveparker]

A Tory MP should be ashamed of the cuts that cost the police their most experienced officers and replaced them with youngsters who done a couple of weeks of training, they closed hundreds of police stations and got rid of tens of thousands of support workers. There's no excuse for the state of the police, but the Tories bear responsibility for the manufacture of those problems...

The whole point of protest is to disrupt, and to show the powerful that the people have had enough.

The problem is those in power (Tories) want to hinder your right to protest because it gets in the way of their agenda.

The only reason we have democracies and workers rights to begin with is because of protestors tearing down the older systems when the powerful pushed working people into horrible living conditions with poor pay.

The Met officer has done nothing to stop knife crime 😊

[robred]

The people of Ashfield - He is on you????
Lee Anderson gives a master-class on how not to behave at a committee meeting.

[ianrabbidge]

Lee Anderson is the classic example of someone who has been promoted a long way above the level of his personal capability.

[marvintpandroid]

Fresh from the weatherspoons debating class.

[Djaybird]

A Tory MP talking about honesty, Lee Anderson of all people!

[PerryUK]

The fact Anderson is even in that room is unbelievable

[DaveWills-xl]

It's about time police acted to protect the public.and not be a political wing of the government NOW THE POLICE ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOMS, SPEECH,THOUGHT,AND ACTION.

[jameswells]

Ah, yes. The Tories preside over the police, but then blame the police for not enforcing standards and procedures which the Tories failed to implement.

[GethinColes]

I had to Google lee anderson. Only to find hes deputy chairman of the conservative party. What a staggering pool of talent the tory party must have.

[elipa]

Lee Anderson presenting himself as warrior against racism and sexism is utter madness.

[mattsorrell]

More like the Police commissioner got owned

[joeleaton]

What is Lee Anderson actually qualified to do?

[albertbeckett]

The public insult, contempt and attempted humiliation meted out by 30p Lee is bullying in action.
He is a loathsome creature!

[guymasters]

I love Lee Anderson as he never misses an opportunity to look like a prat
