The independent review concluded that the organisation is 'institutionally misogynist and racist' with the cruelty frequently euphemised as 'banter'

The review also revealed women had their uniforms urinated on and men kept diaries of when they suspected women were on a period and telling them they"didn't want to be around women who were bleeding".

The review team were also informed that there have been 10 cases of staff being disciplined for sexual harassment over the last five years, with none of them being dismissed. "Then they will spend hours bragging about the dildo they found and they will refer to the women as sluts. One black firefighter said he had been subject to racist bullying on his watch, which culminated in someone putting a mock noose over his locker.

The report added that his colleagues asked how his Al Qaeda training had gone when he returned from the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

the tribe that once ruled the world.... is worried about toxic workplaces.... giving women the vote, has turned a mighty empire into an HR state, absolutely fascinating.

Do all those leave them alone, they run into burning buildings! Harold Shipman was a doctor, was he a saint? 🤦‍♀️🙄 a job role doesn’t define who you are as a person. To have bullies, harassment, bigotry, racism, & misogynistic attitudes isn’t acceptable in any job role.

Bloody Criticising these men who run into buildings on fire to save us, Leave them alone 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Omg seriously what a joke 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

We know 1st hand isn't new been going on for years we have no faith anything will change. All commissioners have failed.They close rank, codeofsilence. Currently senior perpetrators are still being protected. Victims lives have been ruined 😓 JasonToal

Just to raise a point that may not be popular. Reading the responses the general theme3is that this is nonsense and leave the fire brigade alone. When a similar report was released about various police and forces they were lambasted from all sides. Why is this so different?

How about focusing on putting down fires.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

2 thousand staff views, some retired, and the lfb has 5 thousand staff, so this is bollox

Funny how all those reports find exactly what they were required to find, so 'diversity and inclusion' training sessions will follow and 'diversity' grifters will get hefty government contracts.

Sadly you could carry this out on every Individual Fire & Rescue Service and get similar outcomes….dinosaurs

Hell’s teeth ! What sort of Country are we living in ?. And in what Century ?

When I need a fire man to save my life , I'll be sure to give him a good telling off before he proceeds.

Absolutely awful my heart goes out to those who are/ have been struggling with this disgusting behaviour LondonFire should hang your heads in shame. HOW could you not see this 😡
