00:00There's been a huge effort all across government to tackle this problem because the thugs who
00:07are committing this criminal behaviour on our streets, and let's be clear, this is criminal
00:13behaviour, it's not a protest, there are racist attacks, there's dangerous extremism, we've
00:19had a robust policing response, we will continue to do so and we will ensure that swift justice
00:25is delivered as well.
00:26We are using quite significant technology to identify people, it's not always just through
00:32people's faces that individuals can be identified and so there will be a whole range of digital
00:39evidence that is being waded through in order that the prosecution can bring cases and so
00:46that we do get convictions and that people, some of whom will be given custodial sentences
00:52and will be serving time in prison as a result of this.
