Questions, of course, Kevin, as to what happened a year ago
0:04
obviously started with some false information, but nevertheless the issue of migration
0:12
obviously it proved a catalyst to bring that to the fore, rightly or wrongly
0:19
So what have we learned a year on as to how we should deal with
0:22
what are legitimate concerns? Well, I mean, I think what we've learned is
0:28
if Labour doesn't do something quickly, they're finished, because we are seeing a growing build-up of resentment in the public
0:35
about uncontrolled illegal migration as opposed to legal migration, because, of course, to enter the UK without the correct documentation
0:45
is, in fact, a criminal offence. Anyway, we are seeing a build-up of resentment up and down the country
0:52
particularly with these hotels and these essentially young men being planted on people's villages where there are different cultural values
1:00
and different ideas, and people don't like it. So what have we learned in terms of the police
1:07
The police learned, again, not quite the lesson of 2011. They learned that they need to get sharper at mobilising assets
1:17
and deploying them to trouble spots to try and control what's going on
1:22
They're in a worse position than they were in 2011, because they've got less public order trained people
1:29
less officers now want to do that kind of work these days
1:34
And it's apparent, funnily enough, from the recent instance in Essex and the US president coming over
1:41
that they still have not got their mobilisation processes correct to move people around the country because you had the unusual situation where Kent police officers were driving through Essex to go up to help the Scottish
1:53
police, and Northumbrian police officers on the border of Scotland were driving right down past
1:59
the Kent officers on the way to help Essex. So from a policing point of view, they still need to
2:05
get their mobilisation processes sorted out. I don't think we will see trouble to the same level
2:13
that we saw in 2011, because this is a different type of riot or protest. These people who are
2:22
coming out around the hotels and so on are essentially ordinary people who live in the
2:29
localities. Yes, some troublemakers come in, whether they are from some extreme right-wing
2:34
Group or from Antifa, but they're not the same as the 2011 ones, where they were essentially
2:40
opportunist inner city jobs who went out looting. And the only way the police, of course
2:45
could control the riots then is when the looters' arms got too tired to carry anything else
2:51
So in conclusion, I think the one lesson that comes out here is that the government needs
2:59
to do something radical to take away the attractiveness of the offer for people to come
3:06
here and putting them in hotels or even housing multiple occupation is not going to stop it
3:12
The only way is to replicate what the Australians did, or even indeed what Trump has done in
3:19
America, which is put them straight into detention camps, where, of course, they'll get their
3:24
basic food and they'll get a roof over their head and medical but they will not be allowed
3:30
to walk around and they will not be able to say look at the great work we're having
