That is fine. My only concluding remark concerns the attitude of the public and the focus on it. I ask the witnesses to take away from the meeting the fact that journalists in my county are capturing the attitude of the public. If a headline reads "out of control", it reflects the attitude of the public. I ask the witnesses to ensure the style of policing adopted is one that will get these thugs in order that they, not genuine people, will be afraid to come down the street.
