A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.
‘The British public decided in the 1930s that they would not tolerate black-shirted militias marching through their streets. They would cherish robust political argument; they would not accept thuggery and intimidation. When Oswald Mosley led his Blackshirts to Cable Street, local people turned them back. A new law – introduced by a Liberal, backed by Labour and carried by a Conservative majority – banned private militias, political uniforms and ‘the use or display of physical force in promoting any political object’. The British people are as determined today as in the 1930s that they will not accept the methods of Mussolini and the Munich Beer Hall. This government will uphold the law and defend the traditions of British democracy’.

The courage of those who set out to save those at risk of drowning can never be overestimated. Each rescue is a challenge. I used to watch the Orkney lifeboat head out into rough seas with my heart in my mouth. Remarkable bravery. Donate to the #RNLI here: shop.rnli.org/products/don...
