00:00The march yesterday shows that free speech and freedom of association is alive and well
00:05in this country. Now there were elements in that march who were not just racist but also
00:12perpetrated violence against our police force. That is unacceptable, they will be found and
00:17they will be held to account for their actions. We encourage protest that is peaceful, people
00:23should make their points and certainly those people who are talking about immigration should
00:27see a government that is acting. But when it tips over from protest into disruption and
00:32violence of course that needs to be confronted. And just this final point, everybody in that
00:37march yesterday was wearing, was waving the flag, the English flag. The English flag belongs
00:43to all people who live in England and it is also a symbol, a key symbol of our United Kingdom.
00:49That will never change. The flag is for all of us, not just them.
