00:00What's going on at a senior level that means that white men are being discriminated against
00:04the Metropolitan Police and a special constable is arrested because they didn't even understand
00:11the tweet he'd put up? A brief history of policing, if I may. Around about 1997, a certain
00:18politician by the name of Blair said, education, education, education. An ambitious police officer
00:24thought, we'll have a piece of this. And off they went to university, often out of the
00:30public purse that paid for it. And they came back, many of them, into policing with a feeling
00:36that they were part of academia. And of course, this has perpetuated through the subsequent
00:41generations of police leaders. And in their intellectual snobbery, they've got to the point
00:47where they want so many of the frontline officers to get degrees or have policing degrees as part
00:54of that recruitment process. So policing really has moved away dramatically from the blue
00:59collar occupation that it was, where police patrolled the streets, prevented crime and
01:07investigated crime when it occurred. This ideology, which has been picked up and indoctrinated into
01:15policing, generations of it now, is so hugely damaging that they're taking it upon themselves
01:21to patrol free speech rather than patrol the streets. And we are getting catastrophic situation
01:28time and time again.
01:30But are the chief constables not in control of their forces? Or do they actually want to
01:36do this? Because every time there's a story like this, the chief constable of Kent's had
01:40to apologise. The chief constable of Essex looked particularly silly recently. Only the chief constable
01:45of Greater Manchester is getting any applauded for the way he's carrying on his force. Are
01:50they going along with this? Are they giving a lack of leadership? Or are they just incompetent?
01:54They're leading it and they're incompetent. And so many of them got away from the rough
01:59and tumble of frontline policing as soon as they possibly could, because rolling around on
02:04the pavement with robbers, burglars, car thieves and the such like was way beneath them. They prefer
02:10the comfort of their leather-topped desks and their vast offices. And so, consequently, the disconnect
02:16between senior police and the frontline has grown. And there is a language that the ambitious cops have
02:23to speak now if they want to climb that greasy pole of promotion. And so dissenting voices, of which there
02:30should be some, experienced cops getting these situations are going, there is no crime committed here.
02:37What on earth are we doing getting involved in it? And until voices like that are going to be heard,
02:43then these kind of ridiculous situations are merely going to happen again and again.
