Speeches by Kohler.

“Picking up on something you just said then, does the media protocol need updating?”

“Is it being updated or do you not know?”

“I would like to explore a more general question about how much the summer riots were a manifestation of a breakdown of trust between the police and the public, or certain sections of the public. Emily, you have spoken and written about a crisis of trust in institutions in this context. Do you want to amplify on that a …”

“The data backs you up, particularly deprived communities having less trust in the police. Is that just a factor of deprivation or is there more to that? Is it the way police deal with those from deprived communities?”

“Do any of your colleagues want to comment on that?”

“That underlines the importance of community policing, does it not?”

“Thank you for coming. Dame Diana, I want to pick up something, building on what Shaun was saying then. What I wanted to say to Chief Constable Harrington, but I did not have the time, was he was being too modest because he succeeded, despite the system failing him. He did not have enough power at the top to call for re…”

“What are you going to do?”

“It is over 15 years since the end of the bloody civil war in Sri Lanka, but those responsible for the many war crimes committed during that conflict, including the targeting of civilians and sexual violence, have still not been held accountable. In opposition, the Foreign Secretary called on the Government to follow th…”

“In her previous role as deputy London Mayor for transport, the Secretary of State stated she was “clear” in her opposition to a third runway at Heathrow. Is she still clear in her opposition, and if not, what has changed her mind?”

“Too many of Britain’s roads are in a shocking state of disrepair, as the Secretary of State says.
