During his 30 years in the Met police force, Neil Basu worked his way up the ranks to become the most senior Asian officer in British policing. Once described as being “too woke” for the role of Commissioner, Basu believes his outspoken political views cost him further promotion in the force before his exit in 2022.

In a book about his career called ‘Turmoil’, Basu chronicles his rise to the top and the discrimination he says he encountered on every level of the force, offering a first person account of his time on the front line of policing during events such as Stephen Lawrence’s murder and the London riots.

Camilla and Kamal sat down with the ex-top cop to ask him about Prevent failings, grooming gangs, immigration, and if anyone respects the police anymore.
