00:00Yes, there is more violent crime. I think it's nationwide. I don't think it's endemic to any part of England.
00:07I think it's all of it. I think probably cost of living has helped, not helped. COVID obviously didn't help.
00:16I don't know a solution. I think we've got an awful lot of, well, immigrants coming in. I think that
00:25needs to be addressed.
00:27That part of it needs to be addressed. And the government needs to address funding for different parts of the
00:32country to ensure that everybody is on a level playing field.
00:36In terms of what I think, I mean, I think cuts have a huge impact on that, don't they? I
00:41think cuts across the whole, you know, every type of cut. If you're looking at youth, if you're looking at
00:47kind of lack of engagement, if you're looking at lack of mental health, you know, all of that.
00:50So I think years of Tory cuts and stripped backs and obviously the fact that people are really, you know,
00:58really struggling at the moment with the cost of living.
01:01I find it very easy to find their way in the world. I think there's a lot of really lost
01:06people, a lot of really sad people. And I really don't think that the resources are there for mental health.
01:13And I really don't think the resources are there for people who become homeless or go through really diverse situations.
01:21So then I think that makes an impact maybe on how they are going out and conducting themselves. I think
01:28there's a lot of very broken people about.
