Didn't realise that there had to be a set number of cars before an action could be described as woke?

There doesn't. But one car out of 320 doesn't seem like that much of a deal to me. YMMV.

"Mr Jenkinson also suggested when it comes to cars, it might be better ensuring its existing fleet was safe, citing the death on duty of PC Nicholas Dumphreys, 47, whose faulty BMW squad car careered out of control on the M6 as he responded to an incident in 2020."
A disgraceful attempt to use a mans death to justify (unjustifiably) an argument that is absolutely unrelated in even the most vague way.
PC Nicholas Dumphrey's car ignited when a (relatively) common failure point of the BMW N57 engine happened and spewed oil into the hot engine bay, igniting the oil, causing his fatality.
How this relates to a car being covered in a few stickers is completely lost on me. If you're going to make a point on a matter, especially someone of Mr Jenkinson's position, at least make effing sense...

Casey report now out and looks even worse than expected. Not just racist, homophobic, and sexist, incompetent and corrupt too. Wonder if they'll look at breaking up the force into smaller areas.

Probably i just don't see how you solve issues that way, seems to me the key issues need adressing.

It looks pretty much like what we've been hearing about for years.
Routinely deflected with
"Oh but it's just a free bad apples"
Or
"Well what do you expect?? The pols just reflect society, I wouldn't want their job"
I'm inclined to agree, dividing the 'service' up into boroughs or whatever will take years of restructuring and won't really change anything if the underlying 'culture' (nasty) and attitudes (utterly unacceptable) don't change.

There may even be the risk of some areas becoming even worse policed, if the better quality officers gravitate towards the more scrupulously run areas, and the less bothered towards a laxer regime.
If there's a chance of retaining the decent officers already there, change has to start right now, with a zero tolerance of the toxic culture.
Unless that happens right away, then what little trust is left will be further eroded, and the whole system, such as it is collapses.
