The usually humourless scamps are going all out to show their festive side in a rebranding exercise that could see the FIT team dressed as snowmen or Tinkerbell at protests over Christmas.

After a dreadful couple of weeks Met bosses are keen to restore public confidence in the force with a series of PR measures planned.


These will include photographer Neil dressing as Widow Twanky in Parliament Square and handing out sweets to passers-by whilst officer CX437 serenades Brian Haw and co with a selection of festive tunes.

A Met spokesperson has told us:

"We just want to show the softer side of the Met and demonstrate what a pantomime the whole outfit really is."
