Who said it
“I wouldn’t have wanted to see a vigil in memory of Sarah end with those scenes” - Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick after clashes between police and crowds who gathered on Clapham Common on Saturday night to remember Sarah Everard.
“I asked the commissioner and deputy commissioner to give me an explanation of the events and the days leading up to them. I am not satisfied with the explanation they have provided” - London mayor Sadiq Khan.
“I think we were shocked and really, really sad and to see videos of policemen handling women at a vigil about violence against women by men” - Jamie Klingler, who helped create the viral Reclaim These Streets campaign.
“We are closely reviewing reports but, given the large number of doses administered and the frequency at which blood clots can occur naturally, the evidence available does not suggest the vaccine is the cause” - The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency after Ireland suspended use of the AstraZeneca vaccine on Sunday following reports of serious clotting in adults in Norway which left four people in hospital.
“This had been going on before the pandemic, but unfortunately the rates will always be higher because you are leaving people with their thoughts, you are taking away jobs, you are losing money, families are apart from one another” - Roman Kemp, who has made a documentary for the BBC about mental health and suicide in young men following the death of his friend Joe Lyons.
