A great interview on The Mess We're In this evening.
Lots of interesting points made. Even if The Mess We're In is not aligned to your own views, and you don't usually watch, I thought it would be useful to highlight a specific point Lisa made.
She has received a massive amount of communication since speaking out on this issue.
In this interview at 39:18 she talks about the requirement for her to submit the communications she gets (not including Twitter or personal email feedback, but letters, emails to her formal role, flowers etc) on this subject.
And that she is required to submit a full analysis for the Police and Crime Panel who monitor her work (who have received complaints about her).
Her office was required to submit the responses she had had, and the analysis was 10% against what she said, 90% in favour.
If you're ever doubting sending a card in support is futile - this should give you encouragement that it's not for nothing!
