00:00Some of the placards in the protests we saw over the weekend,
00:03do they go as far as inciting violence in your eyes?
00:06Well, that's a very interesting point,
00:08and I have raised that directly with the Metropolitan Police.
00:11I was told that the placards that were on social media
00:13that were being shown at that protest on Saturday were historic.
00:18They were not the placards that were being used.
00:21Now, I've had this raised with me already this morning.
00:24I'm very happy to go and raise that again with the Metropolitan Police.
00:26And clearly, if there's incitement in those placards,
00:30threats to individuals, that has to be looked at.
00:33That's a matter for the police, but I'm happy to raise that.
00:36Dame Diana Johnson, we thank you for stopping by.
00:37Good to see you this morning.
