David Davis said some embarrassing conversations need to be heard with

:00:22.:00:27.

the Muslim community. What do you make of that? I think we need to be

:00:28.:00:30.

very careful about the language you use here. What the Conservatives

:00:31.:00:36.

want is for us to be divided as communities. They want us to turn on

:00:37.:00:40.

other, and as politicians we've got to be very very careful but we talk

:00:41.:00:46.

about this in a way that does not help people to turn up on their

:00:47.:00:51.

neighbour. But hasn't that been the mantra of politicians for a long

:00:52.:00:55.

time, and it doesn't seem to have worked? I disagree, I think the

:00:56.:01:00.

problem has been that we have kept services and organisations that are

:01:01.:01:05.

in a strong position to actually have those conversations,

:01:06.:01:09.

embarrassing or otherwise. If you look at the Coetzer youth workers,

:01:10.:01:14.

Social Services, prison officers, community officers, all of those

:01:15.:01:19.

people are in a strong position to be having those conversations, we

:01:20.:01:23.

need to reinvest and train people so that they can challenge some of

:01:24.:01:28.

those ideological assumptions that drive people to commit these

:01:29.:01:33.

atrocious acts. Is this now an ideological war, or is this now

:01:34.:01:37.

actually quite a hot war that is going on with certain people in our

:01:38.:01:42.

society? It's always been an ideological world, it's a question

:01:43.:01:47.

of ideas, and those ideas have to be challenged, and what we don't have

:01:48.:01:50.

at the moment is people in a strong position, well-trained to challenge

:01:51.:01:55.

those ideas. So more resources for the security services? Yes, and we

:01:56.:02:01.

need to reverse the cuts to the police, to youth work, to Social

:02:02.:02:05.

Services, and also make sure that teachers are trained, and everyone

:02:06.:02:08.

who comes into contact with people who are vulnerable to these sorts of

:02:09.:02:13.

ideas need to be trained to be able to challenge them. We're in the last

:02:14.:02:17.

few days of campaigning. Has this shift to sack -- security, other

:02:18.:02:28.

other issues you'd rather be talking about? Well, it has dominated after

:02:29.:02:34.

the Manchester and London attacks, those fears understandably are more

:02:35.:02:37.

at the forefront of the political agenda, but it's vital when people

:02:38.:02:40.

vote on Thursday that they consider all the aspects on which they vote.

:02:41.:02:45.

Theresa May was very keen for the selection to be only about Brexit,

:02:46.:02:49.

getting other issues on the agenda, getting other issues on the agenda,

:02:50.:02:53.

like the pensioner poverty and so on. We must make sure that all

:02:54.:02:58.

issues are considered when people go into the ballot box on Thursday. But

:02:59.:03:03.

those are areas in which you have little or no influence. This is

:03:04.:03:07.

about who is good to be Prime Minister. The question for us in

:03:08.:03:11.

Wales is what happens to Wales as we leave the EU. At the moment we have

:03:12.:03:18.

been largely ignored. Since June, Gibraltar has had more attention

:03:19.:03:22.

than Wales. Unless we get a strong team of Plaid Cymru MPs elected,

:03:23.:03:27.

that can -- situation will continue. That is why it is essential that

:03:28.:03:32.

people vote about -- Plaid Cymru to get that strong team after June

:03:33.:03:39.

eight. The polls are indicating a four party squeeze in Wales. The

:03:40.:03:44.

polls have said a lot over the last few weeks. The real poll, the local

:03:45.:03:48.

election result at the beginning of May show that Plaid Cymru was in a

:03:49.:03:52.

very strong position in a number of seats, and in their seats where we

:03:53.:03:56.

polled well and the local elections, we are looking to Paul well on June

:03:57.:03:59.

eight. I would encourage everybody to go out and vote Plaid Cymru on

:04:00.:04:02.

Thursday. We've been trading for over three

:04:03.:04:16.

years now and things are all right. We do to get a new premises. We

:04:17.:04:27.

hoping to get headdresses here which would be good. -- a hairdressers.

:04:28.:04:48.

We've got one of the chefs from the Great Edition Menu. -- great British

:04:49.:04:57.

menu. One of the least interesting aspect

:04:58.:07:59.

of the career of Geoffrey Cawser is that he sat as a -- an MP. Son of a

:08:00.:08:05.

London Wine merchant, his literary career ran in parallel with that of

:08:06.:08:09.

a busy royal servant. This early literary works emerged from his

:08:10.:08:13.

experiences as a royal courtier. He was active in the Royal Court from

:08:14.:08:20.

the mid-1360s. He was elected

:08:21.:08:21.
