00:00I think it's important to look at it through sort of different lenses.
00:03I think the small number of people who attack the police must be punished very quickly.
00:10There's absolutely no place for that in our society at all.
00:12And I hope the authorities will come down on them very hard.
00:15There was also a very large number of people who didn't cause any trouble at all,
00:18who were out, I think, in a display of patriotism and in a display of, you know,
00:24they say wanting to defend free speech.
00:26I think that free speech is incredibly important in this country and has actually been under attack.
00:31And that's why Kemi Badenoch is announcing a review of free speech protections,
00:37which is going to be headed by Lord Young, who is head of the free speech union.
00:41So I think that there is an important message in that.
