00:00I would say that there's probably not enough police on the street in London,
00:04especially at this time of year when there's tourists coming from all over the place.
00:08But the Met, I don't really know, don't really think that much of them.
00:14I guess there are areas where they could be, you know, and I think it is areas, isn't it,
00:20that could probably do with a more visible thing.
00:25But hey, how do you do that when there's not enough to go around?
00:29There's supposed to be 13,000 extra police officers in the street in the UK.
00:34Is that a commitment that Labour have made?
00:36Is that a particular pledge that you'd like to see them kind of follow up on?
00:39Yeah, I think that would be good.
00:40The crime rates in London are really, really high.
00:42So hopefully that will put a stop to them.
00:44Oh, it's so difficult.
00:46I mean, obviously, if I had an incident or something like that,
00:50yes, I want that as my priority, isn't it?
00:52But it's, you know, there are so many priorities now.
00:56You can't just choose five.
