Honestly with Bari Weiss
Is Kemi Badenoch the Next Margaret Thatcher?

It's going to require a lot of changes. In my view, it's going to need a change of government. It's going to need a change in the way that we police. And people will say, oh, but we just have the conservatives and conservatives didn't do this or that. But there are different types of conservatism. This is a new type. And it's something that's going to be a lot more muscular.

And we need to start showing that if you behave this way, there will be consequences. And this is where the argument about two-tier policing comes from, where people think that some people are allowed to get away with bad behavior or some groups are allowed to get away with bad behavior. It seems that way. And other groups aren't. It is a confusion that has come from...

The interpretations of the Equality Act, where people believe that there are protected groups. There are no protected groups in the Act. There are protected characteristics. Misapplication of the law and abuse by those who deliberately misinterpret it is part of the problem. So the police think that there are protected groups. There are not.

Honestly with Bari Weiss

Everybody is protected on the basis of those characteristics. And that's one of the things that I want us to start looking at. Do we need to change these laws or do we just need to... find a way to make sure that we remove some of the levers and the mechanisms that are allowing these differences in terms of the experience of policing.

What that is, and I know Alison is actually my constituent. I am her member of parliament. Oh, wow. So this was my local police force. And I know exactly how this happens. It is to do, I'm afraid, with the difference in behavior between the left and the right. So what happens in Alison's situation is that some vexatious lefty rings up the police and says, this person has done something.

It's affecting me. and you need to go and do something about it. So you have people... Acting like Stasi. Yeah, yeah, acting like Stasi. And that doesn't really happen on the right. So if you are on the right, you will be a victim of this. It's like with the doxing and so on. There are orchestrated attempts by all sorts of different groups to try and get prominent people who are on the right.

But when it's like the Oxford Union situation, that's much more complicated for the police to deal with. It's a university environment. We're not so sure what's happened. Right. Not everybody is complaining. There might be some intimidation. We'll protect those people, but we're not going to arrest everybody because, well, it's students that's protesting.
