00:00I've had a few interactions with the police recently to do with some bullying of a child
00:05and other things and they dealt with it really well. They were very kind, considerate, continued
00:09to follow up and check things were sorted. But I think there's also in the area I live
00:14in East Leeds there is a lot of bike crime and drugs and I think it's not a fault of the police
00:23but I do think there is not enough presence in communities. I think the police do a good job
00:28in difficult circumstances. I think myself though they are a little bit tied down by
00:32political correctness these days because we have this problem of the grooming gangs
00:36in the news at the moment causing the government problems. I think the government and the police
00:40are a bit too PC and worried about actually going after certain people because it was
00:45perceived as racist when in fact they should be actually trying to implement justice for
00:48victims rather than worrying about the people they're after. We once got broken into and one
00:53said a car accident that the police came to. I've got no problems at all, no worries about them.
