Summary
The Grown Ups are in charge. That's why Yvette Cooper would not go on GB News but did do a soft interview with her husband, Ed Balls, on ITV.
The Grown Ups are in charge so is that why Keir Starmer will not recall Parliament or look at the reasons or possible causes for this violence.
The Grown Ups are in charge but they do not want to discuss Immigration both legal and illegal even though it is clearly at the core of the problem.
The Grown Ups listen to every community but never the working class.
Wanting to discuss immigration or being concerned about it does not make you a racist or Far Right.
The Grown ups are in charge, thats why the Mark Rowley acted like a spoilt kid and threw a reporters mic on the floor in a tantrum when asked about two tier policing.
I condemn the thugs who are rioting but I want to also understand what is happening in our country.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, good afternoon. Just to be clear, I condemn the violence. This anarchy has to stop. |
| 0:08.7 | It's not big, it's not clever, and it's extremely dangerous. It has to stop. I condemn it. |
| 0:15.4 | I condemn what happened in Tamworth in that hotel and in any of the cities over the weekend. |
| 0:20.2 | I also condemn what happened at Manchester |
| 0:22.3 | Airport, that terrible beating up of the coppers and indeed the policeman's reaction to it. I condemn what |
| 0:30.7 | happened in Leeds with the so-called Roma community. We need to come down hard on that as well. |
| 0:39.3 | I condemn, obviously, the terrible slaying of these little children last week, a week ago today. |
| 0:47.1 | And as far as I'm concerned, the sooner we get him in court, get him found guilty, and give him the Saddam shuffle, which won't happen, but that's what |
| 0:54.9 | should happen, the better. So let's be absolutely clear, unequivocal, I am against all kinds of |
| 1:04.2 | political violence that we've been witnessing. However, I do have concerns about immigration. Like many people in this great country of ours, |
| 1:15.6 | I believe in well-controlled, managed immigration. I believe immigration has been great for the country. |
| 1:21.2 | I think it's made as a richer, more varied, more diverse, a better place to live. |
| 1:30.9 | But what we've had over the last few years, especially since Tony Blair, opened the floodgates and allegedly, along with Mr. Mandelson or Lord Mandelson, |
| 1:37.2 | wanted to rub our noses in diversity, we've had uncontrolled immigration. And that's not good for a nation. It's been absolutely too |
| 1:47.9 | rapid, too quick and too many people. That doesn't mean I'm against immigrants. It doesn't mean |
| 1:53.5 | I'm a racist. We should be able to say these things without fear or threat of being imprisoned. |
| 2:00.9 | But that's what Kirstarmer's doing. |
| 2:03.0 | And I thought the adults were back in charge, the grown-ups were back in charge. |
| 2:08.0 | Really? |
| 2:08.7 | Well, it's taken four weeks for that idea to collapse. |
