call nasty people
You know what some people call us: the nasty party.
determine elected local obviously people
Obviously local people will have their local voice through the police and crime commissioners that they've elected to determine their local policing.
almost build children english face fair half neighbours people primary relationships school second speak
You only have to look at London, where almost half of all primary school children speak English as a second language, to see the challenges we now face as a country. This isn't fair to anyone: how can people build relationships with their neighbours if they can't even speak the same language?
coming government job open people students sure university
The universities have got a job here as well in making sure that people actually understand that we're open for university students coming into the U.K. There's a job here not just for the government, I think there's a job for the universities as well to make sure that people know that we are open.
government local people power
There's much more we can be doing in Parliament, we could be giving more power back to people at local government level, through local referendums.
people prevent wider
Within the E.U., in a wider context, people are increasingly recognising the need to prevent the abuse of free movement.
numbers what-matters people
Well can I just make a point about the numbers because people talk a lot about police numbers as if police numbers are the holy grail. But actually what matters is what those police are doing. It's about how those police are deployed
people police drug
People will be able to raise their concerns: what are local officers doing about the drug dealing in the local park? What's happening about the pub where all the trouble is? And the police will have to respond
stress people community
Communities need to feel that they can accommodate people. Rather than feeling that it's not possible to integrate and that the stress and strain on housing and public services is too great.
journey people choices
People have to make journeys, what we want is people to have alternatives in public transport so that they can make a choice about the sort of way in which they're going to travel.
people police want
Local people do want to see more police on the streets.
thinking people politician
I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.
school home people
I had a cup of tea with Michael Howard after my appointment shortly after I became Home Secretary, and without telling tales out of school, shortly after I became Home Secretary, and he said that when people used to ask him whether he enjoyed it he'd reply that "enjoy" wasn't quite the right description.
country numbers people
Obviously, given the objective that we have, what I would hope is that people would be able to see that actually we had reduced the numbers of people, the net number of people, coming into the country. People would, presumably, see that, but it's difficult to say how.
