And it was about, there was a race report where the report came out about the Stephen Lawrence case.

It was called the McPherson Report. And it was a way of trying to capture situations where it's not a crime, but it's probably something that's likely to lead... It has a very Orwellian name.

And it was a way of capturing, I think it was to build a picture so that if a crime was committed, you would have evidence pre the crime that something was going on.

That there was intentionality. Yeah, exactly. It is now being used as a way of just intimidating people. Because in 1999, people weren't ringing up the police to say someone's done something that's hurt my feelings. There wasn't any social media that allowed people living hundreds of miles away to ring the police and ask that you be arrested.

So it is the combination of old laws and no updates to how we respond to them. Social media, the internet, everybody living in a more polarized society and all of these things are just thrown into a pot and it's explosive. So if you pick at them one by one, it's very hard.

Well, we don't want to get rid of these incidents reporting because we've had them for 25 years and they were helpful in these cases. But you look at how they are being exploited. Liberalism has been hacked. You have something that was good and was fine, but it only works if everybody polices the boundaries and uses them appropriately. If you allow people to exploit liberalism,

If you allow people to exploit liberalism,
these rules and these laws to exploit liberal values, you will get these insane things happening. And that's one of the things that I want my party to take some time to think about.

Remember, my experience with the police in Nigeria was very negative. And coming to the UK, my first experience with the police was very positive. You know, the police in Nigeria would rob us.
