00:15Never see them.
00:16Yeah, you never see them, but they have got a hard job, so I do. But it should go back
00:21to you should have coppers on the beat, walking around, because you never see a policeman
00:26around here. You don't even see the pretend coppers, as I call them. So, yeah, things
00:32should go back to how it was years ago.
00:34So a recent YouGov survey suggests that 52% of people have lost trust in the police. Does

00:46I like to still look up to them and feel they're there to help and support. Obviously, there
