not in the way that I think it is being portrayed by Tommy Robinson, by Nigel Farage, by some people in the Conservative Party as well.

I don't believe that that is a description that applies to the police service in the UK.

I think there are cases and there are incidents that you can absolutely look at and say, OK,

Why did the police act this way?

Were they scared of being accused of racism?

And you talked about the grooming gang scandal and Louise Casey in her interim review actually pointed to that fact that in some cases, you know, the police didn't act as they should have done because of those concerns.

You might also point to the West Midlands police row over Maccabi Tel Aviv and say that the way that West Midlands police responded to the concerns about that football match that was going to take place at Villa Park by effectively banning Maccabi Tel Aviv from coming.

Exactly.

And the West Midlands chief constable resigned ultimately over that, not just in what they did, but also the way he responded to that.

You can say that that was an example of the police not responding appropriately to questions.

community concerns and sort of leaning too far in their direction, you could say.

So you can find incidents, but does that characterize the nature of policing in Britain at the moment?

No, I don't think it does.

I mean, you know, if anything, if any group is more disadvantaged in terms of the policing and the criminal justice system, it's black people in particular and ethnic minorities in general.

And the statistics tend to support that.

And, you know, the BBC Panorama programme on Charing Cross Police Station, which came out at the end of last year and which has led to 10 police officers being found guilty of gross misconduct, shows that there are pockets of racism and anti-migrant activity.

views and misogyny deeply embedded in some parts of the police service.

I cannot believe that that's the only police custody suite or the only police station where some of those views have taken hold.

So that's, if there is a problem, I think that's still where it lies.

Overall, and I'm not saying that all the racial disparities are due to discrimination.
