Its all about your opinions on mark dolan tonight and this show has a golden rule. We dont do has a golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. Lots to get through. Well start with my big opinion. The Co Op Supermarket opinion. The Co Op Supermarket hit who do an excellent line in shortbread biscuits have called on Police Forces to do more after experiencing 175,000 crime incidents from january to june this year, according to the express newspaper, the company have revealed that almost 1000 incidents are reported every single day in their shops across the country , with one london the country, with one london store being looted three times in a single day. Store being looted three times in a single day. Some of these in a single day. Some of these incidents include theft, staff abuse and antisocial behaviour, with some staff experiencing physical assaults. I know that in my local co op stakes are kept in secure plastic boxes to be unlocked at the till and bottles of aerial detergent are now tagged. Who steals aerial . They must be very clean criminals and smell good too. This is part of a wider picture that points to an increasingly lawless britain. In total across lawless britain. In total across england and wales there were 312,000 reported crimes last year and an overall charge rate of less than 6. Sexual violence and fraud are through the roof and fraud are through the roof and police have failed to solve and police have failed to solve a single burglary in neighbourhoods across nearly half of england and wales in the past three years, rendering this horrific and intrusive offence of burglary to be effectively decriminalised and often now youre lucky if you even get a visit from a cop after a burglary and even if you do, whats the point . And people whats the point . And people only report vehicle crime like car theft for insurance purposes, having long ago given up hope of ever actually seeing their car or motorbike again and if you own a bicycle, forget it. We may as well give them away to criminals for free. Now, as with the nhs where problems exist with the system. But not the excellent doctors and nurses. The same goes for our Police Forces as male and female coppers work very hard and they put their safety on the line every day on our behalf. Put their safety on the line every day on our behalf. Theyve every day on our behalf. Theyve had a torrid time during the pandemic, enforcing ridiculous rules, and unlike other Public Sector workers, they cant go on strike even though they are highly deserving of a pay rise after years and years of austerity , we i back our cops. Austerity, we i back our cops. But sadly , our great cities are but sadly, our great cities are going the way of San Francisco or seattle , where socialist or seattle, where socialist policies have seen people able to steal items from shops under the value of 1,000 and not even get prosecuted. Security guards get prosecuted. Security guards at apple stores in america literally watch criminals walk out of the shop with an ipad under their arm. Many of under their arm. Many of americas major cities are a lawless apocal lips with regular looting and people openly drug taking and even defaecating on the streets. Thankfully were not there yet, but like so many things in america , its a stark things in america, its a stark warning of where we are headed , warning of where we are headed, whether its graffiti , broken whether its graffiti, broken windows or nicking a packet of minstrels from w h. Smith. The policing culture in this country needs to change and there needs to be a zero tolerance attitude towards all crimes. Start being with so called low level offences which anyone with half a brain will tell you is a stepping stone to more serious crimes further down the line. Crimes further down the line. Its human nature. If you dont think youre going to get caught, you will commit a crime and it doesnt help that our Police Forces focus their energies on turning up at peoples houses for an offensive facebook post. It doesnt help that Police Forces spend half their time painting rainbow flags on cop cars. It doesnt flags on cop cars. It doesnt help that they ask just stop. Oil protesters glued to the motorway whether theyre okay and whether theyd like a sandwich or a cup of tea. At the sandwich or a cup of tea. At the moment, criminals are in the driving seats and are making britain a more dangerous and unhappy place to live. Keeping unhappy place to live. Keeping law and order on the streets is the primary responsibility of any government, and this one is failing criminals should be afraid to break the law as they are in countries like singapore, where they have an enviably low crime rate. Drug offences there, crime rate. Drug offences there, for example , are no go. For example, are no go. Criminals arent afraid at all in this country. They are laughing in our face. So how do we fix this . Well, employ more cops, build more prisons , cops, build more prisons, toughen up sentencing, make custodial sentences productive , custodial sentences productive, and invest in prisoners to turn their life around and get rid of woke policing. Its time to woke policing. Its time to tackle this National Emergency before it becomes a full blown national crisis. The police are national crisis. The police are losing control of the streets and you dont have to be a detective to work that out. Detective to work that out. There we are. Listen josh, hows that . Should i slide along the sofa a little bit . There we are. Your reaction . What do you think about that, mark at gbnews. Com. Im really worried about where crime is going. We are not america just yet, but i think its coming and we should act now and we should start with that so called low level crime. No crime is victimless. Let me know your thoughts. Lets get reaction now from my top pundits. Delighted to welcome broadcaster and comedian tommy sandhu , the founder of consumer sandhu, the founder of Consumer Finance website money. Magpie Jasmine Birtles, and journalist and political commentator joe bartosh. Joe, your reaction to bartosh. Joe, your reaction to some of the statistics about how little crime is detected and prosecute . Ed . Prosecute . Ed . I mean, i think its important not to be too alarmist about these things. Having having said that, looking at the 30 increase in physical attacks on retail workers is really quite shocking. And clearly, you know, we need to restore that balance of having detection, conviction and punishment. Having detection, conviction and punishment. Thats the sort having detection, conviction and punishment. Thats the sort of, punishment. Thats the sort of, you know, thats the holy holy triangle, if you like, of holy trinity of policing. Um i dont think were sliding towards the us situation just yet. Do you see where theyve gone wrong in places like San Francisco . Francisco . Yeah, absolutely. And i mean , but the, i mean i heard the, the boss of john lewis recently saying that it was in fact, you know, it was a problem with the cost of living but cost of living crisis. But when ive footage the young ive seen footage of the young lads looting dont lads looting stores, i dont think really struggling. Think theyre really struggling. Single i dont think single parents. I dont think its i dont think its about the cost living. I think its the cost of living. I think its because away with it. I tend to agree with you, tommy. Viewers and tommy. Many of my viewers and listeners feel safe anymore. No, i can see that. And actually this week. So with these kind of come these stories kind of come about because local tesco because i was in the local tesco where live in east london. Is where i live in east london. Is it Tesco Express is it extra it Tesco Express or is it extra express the whats your preferred tesco format . Oh, i like megastore. I like like the megastore. I like to know get a t shirt as well know i can get a t shirt as well as crisps. As some crisps. Megastores could raise megastores you could raise your places. Weve moved in. We shop very slowly. We three and slowly. We spent three and a half in every round. Half years in every round. You were in. You were in but you were in. You were in a Tesco Express and they were like filling the like they were filling up the shelves, but only putting like they were filling up the sifront;, but only putting like they were filling up the sifront linet only putting like they were filling up the sifront line of only putting like they were filling up the sifront line of coffee. Nly putting a front line of coffee. And said, oh, coffees and i said, oh, coffees popular. Just little passing popular. Just a little passing comment. I thought, its all gone. They said, they gone. Yeah. And they said, they said theyve been running said no, theyve been running in here and that here and nicking it and that whole 4 or whole because coffee is 4 or £5 a go and ive done pieces in the past on Homeless People or people that are on drugs. And they actually day they said actually £8 a day is enough addict to enough for a heroin addict to get through the day. So you sell a of those, done. A couple of those, youre done. So im trying is so what im trying to get to is now stage where now were at a stage where people are so broke or there might people that so might be people that are so desperate or it desperate or on drugs or it might be the austerity that might not be the austerity that they dont care. And its they just dont care. And its that that frightens me that its that that frightens me because i see videos. Sure because i see videos. Im sure you on your you see them as well on your phones and on tiktok of them smashing places smashing into jewellery places and of the and playing in the middle of the afternoon know, breaking and playing in the middle of the afte|peoples know, breaking and playing in the middle of the afte|peoples houses w, breaking and playing in the middle of the afte|peoples houses andreaking and playing in the middle of the afte|peoples houses and thoseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe� gangs houses and thoseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe� gangs right. ; and thoseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe� gangs right. People ioseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe� gangs right. People people moped gangs right. People people just arent scared anymore. However dubai however there i was in dubai a year a half ago for some year and a half ago for some cricket everyone very cricket stuff. Everyone was very well if they were well behaved, even if they were drunk you drunk because they know you dont with big with the dont mess with the big with the very men outside. And the very large men outside. And the police are very strict and everyone well behaved. I everyone was well behaved. So i think have that think if you do have that discipline in place, people will behave. Jasmine yeah, no, i agree and i agree with what youve said. One i think were one thing that i think were missing, that there missing, though, is that there are criminal, big criminal gangs running much of this. So the ones quite often, not always, but quite often the ones that are smashing and grabbing, theyre a gang. And theyre working for a gang. And honestly, feel that in some honestly, i do feel that in some cases, at least , there is cases, at least, there is collusion between the gangs and the police as well. And i think thatis the police as well. And i think that is one of the reasons why theyre not coming along. And its just with here with the its not just with here with the shops. Its not just with here with the shops. Its theres its not just with here with the shops. Its theres this is happening across the country. And im certainly hearing from Small Businesses , you know, Small Businesses, you know, people with very small shops
