Neil Basu was my old boss; probably the best and most decent DCI I ever had. He is a tenacious investigator and has a very clear and decent moral compass. He should have been Commissioner. The loss of confidence isn't the fault of the officer on the street. Loss of confidence and effectiveness comes from years (decades) of bad leadership at the very top. Leadership went off the rails when the Government started interfering with the impartiality of Police. Bring Neil back as Commissioner and clean out the old guard of bad management. NPD.

I have lived in the US, UK and Australia, and I watched the news media coverage of the riots in the UK, and saw the rioters yell abuse right up in the faces of police officers and nothing happened to the rioters- no person in any job should have to deal with that abuse including police. I saw female and male police being abused and attacked by the UK rioters on news media like many who watched this across the world. I have never seen in news media a rioter get away with yelling abuse straight in the face of a police officer in Australia and the US continuously, and not get arrested. In these two countries, getting close to a police officer and yelling in their face, is seen as threat of violence and they will most likely taser you or shoot you, particularly if you are not a resident of the area and you threatening violence to the residents and police. Australia has tough immigration laws but that is because it has tough policing and border control, and that is the paradox of the UK rioters who want tough immigration laws but they don't seem to acknowledge tough policing also goes with that and they complain when the police do get tough in these protest turn riot situations - where the rioters are smashing the windows of residents homes, burning cars of residents and workers, police cars and vans and bashing up people on the streets. Seems a great paradox that they want tough immigration controls but don't expect tough policing to go with that, and expect the consequences to their violence will land them in jail.
@@dougnico2492 Police are not trained to accept physical and verbal abuse, they are trained to mitigate and stop violence by perpetrators, get situations under control and/or arrest. So not sure what your comment is about.
I agreed 💯. The social media 6 need to be held to ransom for their "guidelines". All they care about is money and engagement, and not truth and integrity. As another UA-cam user said: "stand united"! I'll stand with anyone who supports togetherness. Racism, not in my name.
Him and all the ones who caused unrest in the country must be investigated even in their accounts and face the full force of the law. Let not the law tolerate those who take money for chaos of their country.
One question is not prevention better than cure. So if. Some one is 12 foot up a ladder you would think that they had made provision for some one to hold the said ladder or someway of securing the said ladder. Now keeping this in mind. Why let thousands of people come here illegal and. Commit. Crimes. This is just not realistic for the government to do then expect the British people just to go along with the formate of the government plan this has not been voted for in any election manifesto by any party there for mass immigration has course unrest in this country so. The British people do not want to do anything that they feel they don't want to do so. If mass immigration had been put to the British public then maybe just maybe there would not have been any unrest in the first place ie. Prevention best before cure
Free speech was never meant to be absolute. No one has the absolute right to shout FIRE in a crowded theater, without cause. Reasonable guidelines and checks and balances on social media are necessary if social cohesion is to be maintained in a multiracial and multicultural society. Take the case of Singapore. They do impose some restarints on all media. I think the West needs to learn from what the non-Western countries are doing right. You want absolute, untrammeled free speech...then be prepared for social discord. Inflammatory rhetoric and incitement in public will usually prove to be hugely disruptive. It's high time politicians and media toned down their rhetoric. Issues can be debated in a more civilized manner.
There is no free speech in the UK. You have the freedom of expression. Also having the freedom to say something doesn't except you from the consequences. The thing that makes me laugh about that defence is "free speech" is, it is always one side. It is always an answer to when someone disagrees with them. So they can say what they want but the counter argument is not allowed
People confuse freedom of speech with freedom of consequences. You can say anything you want, that's a right guaranteed to you. That doesn't shield you from people not liking what you said.
They should be charged as terrorists, inciting violence is not enough, get these grifters out, get Tommy banned from the UK, stay out Tommy your not welcome here.
Superb interview! Well informed, intellectually stimulating and, at the same time, sobering. Well done James and Neil. More of this sort of thing please LBC!
Farrage knew exactly what he was saying and what impact it would have. His first thoughts as an MP were not how he could add his voice to help calm the situation, but rather how he could make political gain by stoking discontent over policing.
I hope he is investigated and thrown out as an MP. I heard his comments live and could not believe a sitting member of Parliament could be so wreckless with people's lives. He is a disgrace to civilised politicians, cynical and way too slippery.
The left caused it. They ruined every town with failed multi-culturalism. People riot because they want it to stop. The left are so determined to carry it on that they try and deflect blame from themselves onto Farage. Evil.
My confidence was dented in the police as an institution is when they failed to investigate the unlawful activities around Brexit and when the police stood by whilst Johnson and his cronies partied, but investigated Starmer for purely political reasons.
Two decent coves having an intelligent, informed and measured discussion. How different to the antics of certain political figures who will remain nameless or should that be shameless.
Neil Basu was an outstanding Senior Officer when in charge of Counter Terrorism. Rather strangely he was overlooked for the very top post in the Met and not surprisingly chose to leave the force and take his undoubted talents elsewhere. I have a feeling that had the current Home Secretary been in post, Basu would have been the logical and best choice as The Met Commissioner.
Is Farage responsible for inciting the racial tensions which led to the lawless thugs rioting on our streets, does he receive funding from a hostile foreign power ? These are the questions that we all need to ask, and we deserve the answers.
Farage keeps going on about two tier policing. He’s right. There’s one law for the general public and one for MPs. This two tier policing needs abolishing and Farage needs arresting for inciting the riots.
People might want to make a name for themselves but not at expense of peoples lives, death and total destruction of peoples mental state and livelihoods.
@@andrewgreen5892I reckon it could be down the the slience over the Islamic riots and how the police ran away and the msm moved on and labelled everyone far- right who disagreed.
Would it be possible for the police services to sue Farage or libel? If he makes an accusation about the police, he should be able to prove that in court or he should be made to pay damages.
@@curtiskelleher2801 Well he put a letter out a few weeks back accusing the police of two tier policing. Would lilke to see how that stands up to scrutiny under a court of law.
He did incite violence by spread of misinformation, he’s already admitted he didn’t believe himself? So it was totally deliberate & he needs his collar felt!
Grow up. Do you really think all those people were sitting watching tv for his thoughts and then jumped up and said tight lands let’s go? Why Haney the guys in Manchester been charged or the guy from hope not hate who apparently said there are avid attacks on Muslim women and the Labour mo who reteeeted it. How about the bbc and what they said about an Israeli attack on the hospital? How about the endless speculation about all sorts of things on lbc eg Manchester airport and the one sided phone calls as they hard not established any hard facts. Or people saying it was a guy abroad orchestrating the riots without any actual evidence.
People should not be permitted to speculate on Social media about things that are patently untrue. To say I was only speculating is not an excuse, yes speculate personally and question what is going on, speculate in the family, I'll n the workplace or with mTes in the pub but not on Social Media where it can and will be misinterpreted. To speculate on Social Media is downright dangerous.

Fantastic interview! Thank you 🙏🏼 I wish Neil’s message could spread like wildfire in the way that Stephen Yaxley-Lennons’ has! People need to hear this, especially those who are vulnerable and easily radicalised.
I think our police do a great job here in the UK. I would say one of the most professional police forces in the world. We should support our police and stop the spread of hatred about them. Farage doesn’t help when he tries to push the blame of the riots onto immigrants or the police force.
The tories slashed the numbers which meant experienced police were got rid of, the local support teams were scrapped, and people complain they don't investigate burglaries and bicycle thefts. Vote for tuppenny tax cuts and you get a tuppenny service. Everything is down the pan because of cuts. It goes back to Thatcher. Closed down asylums so mentally ill are roaming around in rhe community which according to Thatcher was supposed to do the caring.

Basu's comments about the attempted arson of a Mosque leaves out the context of the Man who had been seen trying to attend a Vigil in Southport with a Machete, when challenged he run off to seek sanctuary in a Mosque! In another video on social media a Police Man is seen asking a Mob of Asians that if they have any weapons to leave them in the Mosque. In the UK it would be considered very strange if it were Christian people of any race trying to hid weapons in a Church or being told by the Police (known to be anti Christian arresting people for praying to themselves ) to leave their weapons in the Church! The Media seem insanely inconsistent in theses areas.santarcy
Neil really seems to have pain in his heart about the real issues our country is dealing with and wants to address them and seek to get them resolved. I hope to have our politicians carry the same pain and concern for society. Amazing conversation with James 🙏
Reform are appropriately named. Like the ingredients on McD chicken nuggets... Reformed, mechanically separated pieces of Ukip skin, Brexit-party bones and BNP connective tissue with a crunchy EDL coating.
What an amazing interview, James, that you conducted with such a brilliant asset and contributor to the UK's police force: Mr Basu. I place this short but very important broadcast within the top 1 of all interviews conducted, relating to the recent events.
Do you know, IF those that are elected to *run* the UK actually got on with their jobs, and stopped using inflammatory language maybe, just maybe the citizens of the UK could try and start to get on with each other! I am just so sick and tired of these highly paid, self centred, career first PM and MP's who suddenly become deaf and blind to the suffering of the vast majority of the UK! Senior politicians know they use inflammatory language, WHY? SURELY they should be intelligent enough to use words that will convey a message that won't be misunderstood! IF they can't perhaps they are in the wrong job!
I used to be a Taxi Driver, and I picked up an older lady to take her back to her home from a hospital visit. We chatted and it turned out she had been a highly successful Lawyer in the EU helping introduce legislation to help and protect workers across the EU. We got to her home and it was a little 2 up-2down in a seaside town, in a scruffy part of town. I asked her why she lived there, since as a lawyer she must have made plenty of money over the years and could have afforded somewhere "nice" her answer was inspiring. "These are the people I fought for, to improve their lives for all those years and I love them, living among them helps remind me why I fought so much". This kind of person is the public servant we need and it sounds like Mr Basu had similar tendencies.
It wasn't "UK wide". It didn't happen in Scotland or in Wales. I'm fed up hearing this.

Brilliant interview. Thank you for a totally common sense conversation.
obrien should be sacked and face prosecution for defamation
What an excellent video James, many thanks to you and your guest. Spot on!
I can't wait to listen to that podcast. What a great guest.
Wonderful interview. I thank Mr. Basu for his service, and his continued engagement with very challenging issues.
Two decent coves having an intelligent, informed and measured discussion. How different to the antics of certain political figures who will remain nameless or should that be shameless.
What am extraordinary former public servant
If you listen to other media channels, you will also find interviews from retired senior policemen with contrary views.
@@fabiennemitchell2371 What - Peter Bleksley? 'Contrary' views on tap.
@@SpectreAtTheFeast-sx8gq
I don't know THEIR names.
@@fabiennemitchell2371 I suspect that you do. I've just given you HIS name, so now we can compare notes - or were you thinking of Leroy Logan?
@@fabiennemitchell2371 The retired policeman you're talking about was nowhere close to the rank and responsibility that Neil Basu held.
Why is the law not going after katie hopkins.
She said alot prior to the riots.
Neil Basu was an outstanding Senior Officer when in charge of Counter Terrorism. Rather strangely he was overlooked for the very top post in the Met and not surprisingly chose to leave the force and take his undoubted talents elsewhere. I have a feeling that had the current Home Secretary been in post, Basu would have been the logical and best choice as The Met Commissioner.
Wow, this guest sums it up all. Thanks a lot, O'Brien, for inviting him. I wish those thugs could listen well and learn
It's o brain
@@tonypriest3567Thank you, done 😊
@@tonypriest3567 I prefer JOBie
I m british-Nigerian. The police regained my confidence last week. They were very quick to make the streets safe. I disagree with this man
Did you actually listen to the whole interview?
How exactly did he incite violence?
Plausible deniability
It’s not just online entities have been promoting division the Murdoch sewer pipe has been doing it for years
And here you are participating.

No to hate
Wonderful, thank you. I hope we hear a lot more from this guy.
Keep doing what you are doing James. Its getting through to people.
Is Farage responsible for inciting the racial tensions which led to the lawless thugs rioting on our streets, does he receive funding from a hostile foreign power ? These are the questions that we all need to ask, and we deserve the answers.
He DOES receive said funding.
NEXT.
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Are you a muppet, just curious.
And you never get them because too many of the moneyed elite are up to their neck with Farage.
@@nickstone1587 OK ?
It must be very hard to e you. yOU ALONE MUST CONTEMPLATE THESE PROFOUND QUESTIONS. LOL
Excellent guest. I hope James continues to use him as a resource when events call for his insight.
What a breath of fresh air, articulate, well informed and honest, our country needs more men of this calibre 👏👏👏
Farage understands stochastic terrorism in the same way Anjem Chaudary does and should be treated the same way.
I think our current government does too personally...
LBC don't even try to be impartial when it comes to reporting news anymore.
The only news outlet which is required to be impartial is the BBC. Other outlets can take whatever editorial line they please.
Name a single thing he has said that warrants investigation……?
Brilliant that it well said
I would definitely watch a podcast with James O'Brien talking with Neil Basu.
Farage keeps going on about two tier policing. He’s right. There’s one law for the general public and one for MPs. This two tier policing needs abolishing and Farage needs arresting for inciting the riots.
How did Nigel Farage MP incite the riots?
@@jonathandnicholson: 🤦🏼♀️
@@cathlaurs9754 What does that even mean?
How ridiculous saying Farage incited riots.
People might want to make a name for themselves but not at expense of peoples lives, death and total destruction of peoples mental state and livelihoods.
I think you mean it SHOULDN'T be at the cost of peoples lives. Unfortunately some people do not care who gets hurt in their quest to be infamous.
1984 was meant to be a warning ,NOT an instruction manual
So you feel personally threatened by the existence of consequences for incitement to terrorism. Please, tell us why
Stop trying to be poignant.
I also don't remember the part in 1984 when 50 police were injured and pretty much nothing was done.
@@andrewgreen5892 I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it . ( Voltaire)

Voltaire did not live in the era of mass broadcasting though
@@andrewgreen5892I reckon it could be down the the slience over the Islamic riots and how the police ran away and the msm moved on and labelled everyone far- right who disagreed.
Starmer's answer to Britain's problems - just arrest everyone.
Mr Neil Basu excellent clarification.
So do public figures have a duty of responsibility for the things that they say? I'm just asking questions.
Elected M.P`s do...
Who decides what is a lie?
Who decides qhat is "hate?"
This is worrying?
Agreed.
Would it be possible for the police services to sue Farage or libel? If he makes an accusation about the police, he should be able to prove that in court or he should be made to pay damages.
How did he make an accusation about the police?
@@curtiskelleher2801 Well he put a letter out a few weeks back accusing the police of two tier policing. Would lilke to see how that stands up to scrutiny under a court of law.
He's an MP "possibly" inciting violence - why is there any mention of "could"?
He did incite violence by spread of misinformation, he’s already admitted he didn’t believe himself? So it was totally deliberate & he needs his collar felt!
Grow up. Do you really think all those people were sitting watching tv for his thoughts and then jumped up and said tight lands let’s go? Why Haney the guys in Manchester been charged or the guy from hope not hate who apparently said there are avid attacks on Muslim women and the Labour mo who reteeeted it. How about the bbc and what they said about an Israeli attack on the hospital? How about the endless speculation about all sorts of things on lbc eg Manchester airport and the one sided phone calls as they hard not established any hard facts. Or people saying it was a guy abroad orchestrating the riots without any actual evidence.
@@JulieLevinge What misinformation did he spread?
People should not be permitted to speculate on Social media about things that are patently untrue. To say I was only speculating is not an excuse, yes speculate personally and question what is going on, speculate in the family, I'll n the workplace or with mTes in the pub but not on Social Media where it can and will be misinterpreted. To speculate on Social Media is downright dangerous.
It's so sad that we can't get along and how the color of your skin is more important then a person mind and his acts.❤❤❤❤❤
Nothing to do with race it's a ideology problem
You need people like this in times of tension.
Hope he is jailed
I agree. James O'Brien definitely needs to be locked up to save us all from his negativity and poisonous lies!
lying to people who have no interest in the facts.
People lie to make a name for themselves.
When Nigel goes to the US and turns his back on his constituents.
The interview is a blow.
Two or three days in America by Farage is not abandoning constituents.
@@stitcheruk1150
He doesn’t have a constituency office, where does he see them?
@@emilymccartney1593 Unfortunately, for a new party MP, it takes time to open an office and advertise / employee staff for the office. You don’t do that overnight.
@@stitcheruk1150
It’s not over night though?
It’s been 6 weeks.
Farage is trying to ride on the coat tails of Teflon Don!
Yes. 30p Lee too and he of the many names (Yaxley).
you mean Tommy 10 names!
You want Lee Anderson to be arrested for what exactly? Having different opinions to you?
@@LuisCarruthers inciting hatred as usual
@@itsbboybump How do we know when it's inciting hatred or just an opinion you don't like? For example, which right-wing opinions can you say without deserving a prison sentence?
"my friend Mark Rowley" oh the guy who falsely claimed there was a Islamophobic acid attack?
Wow, such a highly intelligent man!
Yeh but plain wrong
Blimey James has it in for Nigel. 😂
The Lefties are it again
Nigel Farage is an odious opportunist
Just a bit 😏😉😉
Fantastic interview! Thank you 🙏🏼 I wish Neil’s message could spread like wildfire in the way that Stephen Yaxley-Lennons’ has! People need to hear this, especially those who are vulnerable and easily radicalised.
I think our police do a great job here in the UK. I would say one of the most professional police forces in the world. We should support our police and stop the spread of hatred about them. Farage doesn’t help when he tries to push the blame of the riots onto immigrants or the police force.
The tories slashed the numbers which meant experienced police were got rid of, the local support teams were scrapped, and people complain they don't investigate burglaries and bicycle thefts. Vote for tuppenny tax cuts and you get a tuppenny service. Everything is down the pan because of cuts. It goes back to Thatcher. Closed down asylums so mentally ill are roaming around in rhe community which according to Thatcher was supposed to do the caring. Most of us would rather just pay the money and leave it to the experts.
You wouldn't be slightly leaning to the left hand side of the bus would you as the police in Leeds were not even at the bus stop !!!!
@@tonypriest3567 i'm on the left hand side, my dad would rise up and haunt me if not. He knew about poverty and the haves and have nots. We were have nots.
I've never had a postive interaction with police or know anyone who has, they're just a bunch of bullies who now have a badge
Thanks for the conversation, J. Though very brief, it was clear, concise & to the point(s). I am looking forward to the podcast interview.
Mr Basu spoke clearly, logically, fairly and used facts in his comments. Nicely done, Sir.
Basu's comments about the attempted arson of a Mosque leaves out the context of the Man who had been seen trying to attend a Vigil in Southport with a Machete, when challenged he run off to seek sanctuary in a Mosque! In another video on social media a Police Man is seen asking a Mob of Asians that if they have any weapons to leave them in the Mosque. In the UK it would be considered very strange if it were Christian people of any race trying to hid weapons in a Church or being told by the Police (known to be anti Christian arresting people for praying to themselves ) to leave their weapons in the Church! The Media seem insanely inconsistent in theses areas.santarcy
Neil really seems to have pain in his heart about the real issues our country is dealing with and wants to address them and seek to get them resolved. I hope to have our politicians carry the same pain and concern for society. Amazing conversation with James 🙏
Nigel Farage needs to be stripped off his job and investigated for terrorism charges and thrown in jail for 30 years
How do I report this for misinformation?
What an articulate and straight to the point narrator. Liars are what they are and lies are what they tell. He's spot on.
No criminal ever worries about sentences,If they do worry they only worry about being caught.
Don’t let him get away with this nonsense. Look at the situation the USA is in
Farage needs to be held accountable for his part in the riots he hoped would enhance his career and get more votes for RefUK.
Reform are appropriately named. Like the ingredients on McD chicken nuggets...
Reformed, mechanically separated pieces of Ukip skin, Brexit-party bones and BNP connective tissue with a crunchy EDL coating.
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence Get used to it mate cause they will be governing you in four years
What an amazing interview, James, that you conducted with such a brilliant asset and contributor to the UK's police force: Mr Basu. I place this short but very important broadcast within the top 1 of all interviews conducted, relating to the recent events.
Great interview / discussion
Do you know, IF those that are elected to *run* the UK actually got on with their jobs, and stopped using inflammatory language maybe, just maybe the citizens of the UK could try and start to get on with each other!
I am just so sick and tired of these highly paid, self centred, career first PM and MP's who suddenly become deaf and blind to the suffering of the vast majority of the UK!
Senior politicians know they use inflammatory language, WHY?
SURELY they should be intelligent enough to use words that will convey a message that won't be misunderstood!
IF they can't perhaps they are in the wrong job!
Inflammatory language like thugs and rioters, looters and criminals?
Babbling.
@@shuunyayes please call them liberators. Like they are "liberating" you from having intact windows
I used to be a Taxi Driver, and I picked up an older lady to take her back to her home from a hospital visit. We chatted and it turned out she had been a highly successful Lawyer in the EU helping introduce legislation to help and protect workers across the EU. We got to her home and it was a little 2 up-2down in a seaside town, in a scruffy part of town.
I asked her why she lived there, since as a lawyer she must have made plenty of money over the years and could have afforded somewhere "nice" her answer was inspiring. "These are the people I fought for, to improve their lives for all those years and I love them, living among them helps remind me why I fought so much".
This kind of person is the public servant we need and it sounds like Mr Basu had similar tendencies.
Hé should be locked up.
Not w SINGLE mention of the ISRAELI LOBBY and its tirs to the far right !!
Politicians should not be allowed to play politics with everything. Tories thought they were above the law, and so does Farage. It's not right.
The black community lost respect forthe police waaaaay back in the 70's
I would imagine with Starmer as PM (i.e., with his full support to The Met); this is almost guaranteed, which, in my opinion, is great news
