Stephen Lawrence's friend Duwayne Brooks reveals he is planning to run as the Conservative candidate in next year's London mayoral election
Mr Brooks, who was with Stephen on the night he was stabbed to death, says he is planning to run as "nothing has changed" three decades on from his friend's murder.It detailed how Stephen's killing had been "marred by a combination of professional incompetence, institutional racism and a failure of leadership".
Gary Dobson, 47, and David Norris, 46, were jailed Stephen’s for murder, but were the only gang members to be convicted.Mr Brooks revealed in 2018 that he wanted to run for Mayor of London, but his ambitions never materialised. Some action was taken after the report, including the introduction of targets for the recruitment, retention and promotion of black police officers.
, Chief Constable Stephen Watson said the problem with the phrase was that "it is also being applied by different people in different contexts across the board". "The public will understandably take the view that if you say we’re institutionally this, that or the other, then that means as an organisation we either genuinely don’t care, we genuinely don’t find that behaviours of the sort described are somehow inimitable to our values or at best we’re just too incompetent to sort it out."
