That Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley supports 5 officers' decision to arrest writer Graham Linehan over social media posts merely confirms that he is unfit to be in charge of the Met. My nephew was mugged at knifepoint and the Met claimed a lack of manpower to arrest the crims.

Simon Myerson KC 🎗️ Metropolitan Police Graham Linehan 🎗️ Secondly, Rowley's claim that officers don't have a choice but to carry out these arrests in every case is utter nonsense. You only need to look at the total lack of investigations and arrests of the Islamic mob who forced the Batley school teacher into hiding.

Sonia Sodha Ask the College of Policing where these operational policies come from, that's what the Chief Constables do. Rowley has today said police are in an impossible position and until politicians do something about it events such as Linehan's arrest will continue. He's right.

Sir Mark Rowley, "a threat to punch someone from a protected group could be an offence." I thought the threat to punch ANYBODY was an offence Metropolitan Police #TwoTierPolicing BBC News - Met chief calls for law change after Linehan arrest bbc.com/news/articles/…

Ant Middleton will miss Mark Rowley and S that vile man 😡😡

Simon Myerson KC 🎗️ Metropolitan Police A couple of glaring piece of bullshit in this statement from Rowley: Firstly, the armed airport officers who arrested Graham Linehan 🎗️ would not have been the officers who determined and ordered his arrest. That would have come from a senior officer at Scotland Yard. continued...

Toby Young So, his own subordinates ignore Rowley's policy views? The police keep setting up these fires themselves, to then only have to go on an urgent public relations damage limitation exercise. At what point do they learn from a mistake?

Keith 🇬🇧 Talk Metropolitan Police Unless Rowley was instructed by someone else, he should take full responsibility for police wasting everyone's time arresting ppl for freedom of speech.

On the arrest of Glinner Met commissar Rowley justified it by trying to “balance free speech & the risks of inciting violence in the real world”. Does he not understand that it’s the actions of the govt police & judiciary that are inciting this violence? Poll tax all over again.

Rowley could instruct his staff to take no action in respect of any & all complaints arising from SM activity & put the ball back into the government’s court It would protect his staff from complaints from the public Other CC’s would follow suit

Sex Matters Police Commissioner Rowley, “Greater clarity and common sense would enable us to limit the resources we dedicate to tackling online statements to those cases creating real threats in the real world.” archive.ph/2025.09.03-115…

Nick Buckley MBE Just realised that Rowley looks exactly like a caricature of a nazi concentration camp commander from every film about the holocaust.

Nick Buckley MBE As much as I despise Rowley I don't doubt it for a second. Makes you wonder why the Police have been so keen to get in bed with Labour - it was only a matter of time before they were thrown under the bus.

Kevin O'Sullivan Is Mark Rowley one of Starmers Fabian Society buddies?

Perhaps Mark Rowley, Met Police Commissioner can triage this and explain why British police are poorly trained to execute vehicle interdictions, lack physical fitness, don't know the laws that they swear oaths to uphold and are shamefully led by unfit to serve ideolgues like him?
