A Metropolitan Police officer has been sacked for gross misconduct relating to his time working at London’s Charing Cross police station.

PC Philip Neilson is the first of 10 officers to face a hearing as part of the Met’s accelerated misconduct proceedings over footage recorded during an undercover BBC Panorama investigation.

He was recorded by the BBC using derogatory and violent language about suspects who belong to ethnic and religious minorities while serving as a constable in the Central West Command Unit.

He used “highly racist and discriminatory remarks” about different ethnic groups, the hearing found.
