00:00There are a number of actions that came out of the meeting, the first is we will have
00:03a standing army of specialist officers, public duty officers, so that we'll have enough
00:11officers to deal with this where we need them.
00:15The second is we'll ramp up criminal justice, there have already been hundreds of arrests,
00:21some have appeared in court this morning, I have asked for early consideration of the
00:26earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process, who will feel the
00:31full force of the law, and thirdly I've been absolutely clear that the criminal law applies
00:37online as well as offline, and I'm assured that that's the approach that is being taken.
00:44Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest, it is pure violence, and we will
00:51not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities, so the full force of the law
00:58will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities.
