00:00It's not called for celebration. There's no moment of joy or arm punching. I think it's the moment, I hope it's the moment of the beginning of the reckoning, of the beginning of just answers and truths, justice, accountability, everything that we've been saying, but my God, it's been exhausting.
00:21Yeah, I mean, the day that was the most important day was the day back in February when Keir Starmer announced the inquiry. Today was a formality and we understand that's the way that government works. But ultimately, like Keir Starmer said on the day, justice, transparency and accountability. Doors are open, no holes barred, people will have to be compelled and they will have to tell the truth because we need to get to the bottom.
00:46So what the inquiry has to do, and they weren't able to talk about the terms today, but we have been involved in discussing the terms of reference, is to ensure that everything we've talked about, from his diagnosis through to lack of conviction, is uncovered and all of the things that went wrong there.
01:03But also, all of the individuals that just failed to do their job professionally and thought it was appropriate to watch videos of our children being attacked, to share gross WhatsApp messages referring to our children like slain animals in the street.
01:18And it's abhorrent and they will be held to account right the way through to, in my opinion, the enormous miscarriage of justice, where Valdo Calicane, who is an evil monster, a monstrous murderer, is receiving no punishment for his crimes.
01:35It needs to take changes in code of practice, standards, they need to be elevated, because I tell you, they really need to be answerable.
01:43Every individual doing a job has to give the treatment that they want for their own family to the wider public and to their patients, and if you're a police officer, what you want for your own family.
01:55That's what we need changes.
01:56It's really simple, just doing a job.
01:58Yeah.
