Another “cornerstone of our democracy” is implementing promises that people voted for - like seriously curtailing immigration.
If you don’t implement the will of the people, then people will take matters into their own hands.
The right to peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy, but there is never any justification for attacking police officers, intimidating communities or descending into violent disorder.
These sentences for those rioting in Southampton last week send a clear message that violence on our streets will never be tolerated and you should expect to feel the full force of the law. I pay tribute to the officers who put themselves in harm’s way to protect the public.
