00:00Will you make sure that those areas have those local inquiries?

00:04I don't care whether the councils want it or not.

00:06First on the list should be places that say there's no problem here, right?

00:10I don't know that there is many places that say there is no problem here.

00:13You'd be surprised.

00:14OK, well, OK, well, well, they're idiots if they say that.

00:18I'm not doing anything that Elon Musk asked for.

00:21Before there was Elon Musk, before anyone even knew Elon Musk's name,

00:26I was working with the victims of these crimes.

00:31Not disputing that, but you weren't calling for a national inquiry.

00:35Quite the opposite.

00:36But it's Louise Casey then and the victims that she spoke to.

00:42I also spoke to victims throughout who said,

00:45we don't want another national inquiry.

00:47So why are we doing it now?

00:49Because of what Louise Casey found.

00:52And we said that we would put Louise Casey out into the field

00:55and what she found we would follow.

00:58So, yeah, Elon Musk.

01:01I don't follow Elon Musk's advice on anything.

01:05Although, you know, maybe I too would like to go to Mars.
