I'm hearing all these people on my journey home talking about the police in the UK
0:04
and I come from a UK police family. Right. My dad served for 40 years
0:09
That's 4-0 in the Derbyshire Constabulary. My brother has served for the last 20 years across the Met and Essex
0:17
He's just left the country. He's just gone to Australia. Right. Part of the reason being the low morale in the force
0:26
And one of the things you don't hear about and the mainstream media doesn't really tell you about
0:29
is the police hemorrhaging good old-fashioned police officers who just can't wait to get out
0:36
It's not by the mainstream media. It is publicised. Is it? Yeah
0:43
Oh, OK. So if you speak to any rank and file, there's many different ways we can look at the two tiers
0:52
but there's another two-tier issue here, which is that between the senior police officers and the rank and file
0:58
Well, if you speak to any rank-and-file police officer, they'll tell you that it's absolute double standard
1:04
So it's absolute two-tier policing. In what way? In the sense that, so first of all, the more senior police officers, all those jobs have been people with certain characteristics
1:17
So LGBT, you know, DEI philosophy basically has led the way when it's come to the selection of senior police officers
1:29
And that has also been instrumental in the way that the police has conducted itself I mean if you look at chief constables most of them are white It hard to think of many non chief constables
1:44
I think if you... Well, that may or may not be true, but I think if you looked at how many lesbians there are
1:49
for example, in the... What? It would be massively disproportionate to the..
1:54
No, I would just say, go look at the UK chief constables and tell me how many of them are white lesbians
2:00
and then tell me what the proportion is amongst the UK... One or two
2:06
No, absolutely not. Absolutely not, sir. No, that is completely incorrect. Where did you get that information from
2:11
Well, let me explain. Given that there are about, what, 40 police chief constables in the UK
2:18
you're really telling me that there are loads who are white lesbians
2:23
Absolutely. Right. Well, I can't wait to look that up earlier because I don't think there's that many
2:27
Anyway, back to the point. I didn't want to go down that road, but since you asked..
2:31
Well, you brought up respectfully, but fine. Well, obviously you don't know either because you've just said, I bet you
2:36
I mean, funny enough, I don't know that every chief constable off the top of my head. I don't have the specific number
2:41
but it's in the high single or even into double digits. Right, I'll have a look
2:46
But anyway, back to the actual point. Actual police officers will tell you that they are forced to
2:52
and basically they have the fear of God put into them. There are no lesbian chief constables currently serving in the UK
3:01
Well, that is just simply not true. look at the Chief Council of Derbyshire. I'll have a look at the Chief Council of Derbyshire
3:06
I've not got a computer in front of me, but you're obviously Googling away there. I am
3:10
Google the... Simon Blatley. Simon Blatley I mean I don think he a lesbian woman He doesn sound like one to me He may be new There was Rachel Swan who was there Rachel Swan was the chief
3:24
Yeah, she's no longer. And when did she leave? When did she leave, sorry? She became chief constable
3:29
She left at the start of this year. Okay. Well, I live in the state
3:34
My information's probably out of date. Your lesbian chief constable doesn't point to a massive DEI agenda
3:39
There is a huge DEI agenda within the UK police If you speak to actual police officers
3:46
you would know that Basically I'm not in front of a computer
3:52
but in the senior echelons of the UK police In the senior echelons of the UK police
3:58
there's a huge How many black chief constables do you think there are in the UK
4:04
I don't know Zero okay yeah but dei's gone mad hasn't it thanks dan patrick's a first time caller in sao parlo
4:12
hi patrick hi there i hope you can hear me fine i can i'm a uk citizen but i live in brazil
4:19
okay i've been living here for over 30 years fantastic and uh lucky you i follow everything
4:24
that the uk that's happening in the uk can you hear me fine yeah yeah i can hear you like you're
4:30
in the room perfect absolutely so great so listen i think that the police in the uk is two-tiered
4:37
do i have proof no does anyone really have proof no but guess what nobody will change my mind
4:44
because that's the way things feel in the uk nowadays respectfully i'm not having you either
4:51
coming on and saying because you feel from sao parlo like there two policing in the uk that there is Yes I go back to the UK every time I work for the UK company Give me an example then please of two policing
5:05
No, no, you have to give me an example. You can't just say there is. Give me an example. Because nobody can say anything bad about a brown person
5:14
What? We have racism all the time in the UK. Not that that's okay, by the way
5:19
What do you mean no one can say anything bad about a brown person? That's called racism. Okay, so listen, the police approached a Sikh man on this case, right
5:29
Yes. How dare this religion group carry knives with them around the streets of London or the streets of the UK
5:36
How dare them? How dare the police not say, where's your knife
5:43
Why didn't they handcuff a Sikh man who carries a knife with him
5:47
Often it's not a knife, as you've been hearing the last few days. is that kia pan can often be a sort of
5:51
almost like a badge, or it can be around the necklace. A badge, I do not care
5:56
It's a knife. We do not carry that in the UK. Can you tell..
6:01
What's an example of the two-tier policing that you've alleged, though? No, but let's go back
6:06
The police cannot carry knives. Well, no, but let's go back to what you said. How can they carry knives? You realistically have, you know
6:10
you're on your uppers in Sao Paulo, which is great, and I'm very happy for you. You've got all the sun you can want
6:14
but how is there two-tier policing that you're watching on from Sao Paulo? How can you prove that there's a two-tier policing
6:21
Yeah, that's what I'm asking you. That's what you've alleged. Nobody can prove that's the point
6:25
It's an endless argument. Okay, so we just assume there is. Whatever Farage is saying, everyone will agree because we know he's going to be the next PM
