Two police officers who bragged about driving drunk through Southampton at 100 miles per hour on a night out have been sacked.

Michael Spake, 26, and Adam Holloway, 30, made the shocking admission during a string of racist, homophobic and misogynistic Whatsapp messages between July 11 and August 28 last year.

They also fantasised about 'curb stomping' a man who filed a complaint against Spake and 'throat punching' a female colleague Spake had been sleeping with.

Chief Constable Scott Chilton, pictured, who chaired the disciplinary hearing at Mottisfont Court, said: "The messages shared by PC Spake and Holloway are the most abhorrent I have ever seen.

"I am professionally incensed that these now ex-officers could hold views that are racist, homophobic, misogynistic and generally utterly vile, while serving as police officers in this force.

“[…] They represent the very worst in society, as opposed to standard-bearers of humility, decency and as those who are there to protect people.”

The horrifying messages were read out at a misconduct hearing in Winchester on Tuesday.

Talking about the night in question, when Spake broke the speed limit through a Woolston estate while under the influence, Holloway said: "Still not as good as your one the night we went out me you and Al."

Spake replied: "Driving about 100 [smiling emojis]."

Holloway said: "Mate that’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, going like 100 through Woolston [smiling emoji]."

Spake replied: "I was battered as well [smiling emoji] mate this job makes me more of a **** I swear."

Holloway said: "Mate 100% it’s because we know what we can get away with and how much red tape there is [smiling emoji]."

Spake replied: "Yeah I know for a fact there wouldn’t be any advanced drivers near by enough before I lost who ever was behind me and prove I was drunk or even driving."

Holloway said: "Exactly that and mate let’s have it right even if there was none of them are crazy enough to do 100 through a council estate [smiling emoji] with kids running about still."

Among the derogatory words the two Basingstoke-based officers used to describe women was “brass”, a term for prostitute common in the 1970s.

Spake and Holloway also discussed getting Spake’s girlfriend to plagiarise Holloway’s student dissertation in exchange for £500 so that Holloway could enjoy “months of Protected Learning Time to plug birds and booze it up”.

Both officers accepted they had committed gross misconduct but neither of them was present at the hearing.

The mitigation on behalf of the two officers was presented by Spencer Wragg of the Police Federation.

Spake and Holloway handed in their resignation notices on May 30, but until the hearing had remained serving officers due to their obligations to finish their notice periods.

Chief Constable Chilton dismissed Spake and Holloway with immediate effect and placed them on the College of Policing barred list for the maximum period of five years.
