Concerns Over Local Violence and Safety
Oh, I live in, uh, the borough right next to Hillingdon.
Yep.
And I moved into my house in 2019. My
local shop, there's been three stabbings, one murder since then.
Wow.
My friend was murdered last year up on the High Street.
A girl I know was m- murdered in Southall Park.
The government are failing us. I'm so scared for my children.
I have a 22-year-old son, and I'm, I'm begging him to move out of the
country.
Oh my goodness. I, I feel for you.
I don't want my grandson to be...
What are these politicians doing to us?
They're putting our children in so much danger.
They're putting, they're putting everyone in danger,
and they're not doing nothing
to help us.
And that, and that's the thing-
They're gonna cause a-
... a lot of us feel
We, we-
That, that, you know, how, how many-
We-
How many is too many?
They're pushing us
to do something that we don't want to do.
We are peaceful people. British people never
revolt against their government.
Yeah.
They're gonna push us to it because they're not listening to us.
Please, our friends, our family are dying.
I had a cousin murdered 20 years ago who was stabbed to death, and
nothing's changed, Julia.
I'm so, so sorry, Sarah. I'm sure, I'm sure I speak for everyone listening or
watching right now. I'm... My heart goes out to you.
And that's the-
I don't leave the house without a man
... that's the, that's the reality.
I don't leave the house without a man.
You're that, you're that worried?
Yeah.
Do you-
Everyone I know is getting stabbed.
I'm trying.
They're getting raped in parks.
This is where I live, not where the politicians live.
Do you think that's part of the issue, that they don't live in the real world?
Keir Starmer, if you're listening to this, please do something.
I'm petrified. I've never broken the law in my life.
I've been a law-abiding citizen. I've been a civil servant.
Please do something. It's us that are dying on the streets.
You talk about being racist. We're not racist.
My sister's mixed race.
Yeah.
I was bo- I was a White child brought up in a,
in a mixed race family.
Yeah.
Nothing to do with race.
Exactly.
To do with our safety.
Sarah, I mean-
Please do something
... 100%.
Please
do something.
We, we agree with you every, every single word, and I'm so sorry.
I'm, I'm sending you a big hug over the ether,
and I'm sure everyone else is.
