krishgm Curtail the power, can't have them running rampant in our schools now, as if we don't have enough problems with them as is. Gross misconduct - but no action taken; it's not acceptable.

krishgm He was proper gaslighting victims in that interview 🤮. So glad .krishgm challenged him. Peter completely ignored the systemic racism & class problem. Go and stop and search the middle class buyers, instead of just the kids they use as their Deliveroo for drugs. c4news

krishgm Describing this police action 'child abuse' was not helpful. Can I ask this? If a child HAS items (drugs or weapons) concealed on them, a police officer suspects it but does NOTHING, and the child is then harmed by continuing their criminal behaviour. Where do you stand on that?

krishgm What happened to evidence based policing? How is it proportionate to strip search a child because someone thought they could smell cannabis? The bar for an intimate search of a minor should be extremely high indeed, the resulting psychological damage caused must be immense.

krishgm The guy was just making stuff up, don't invite him on again, was ridiculous and offensive.
