RB interview:
'If it's proven that people have murdered more than once, they
should be hung. Or they should be shot. They should be poisoned.
They should be got rid of. They should be taken out of society.
An eye for an eye. If you kill someone then I'm afraid you don't
deserve to live. Get rid of them.'

'Roy Bramwell is the station's longest serving officer.'
Timecode: 01:01:05
RB interview:
'Phew... Mt name is Roy Bramwell. PC. 47 years old. Police officer
for about 15 years now. Before that, I was in the army. Last
10 years as a Redcap. Before that I was in the TA. And before
that I was a Scout. So I've spent most of my life in uniform.
I find it's easier for myself to live by regulations and guidelines.
'I think that's what's missing in society today. I think people
need discipline... (sub edit here please)... so it's down to
people llike me to put people on the straight and narrow again.
And that's what I try to do. It's getting harder by the day
because I don't think I'm getting much support from the people
who you think would give you support. The magistrates, the government
and the Home Secretary.' |

welcome.'
Timecode: 01:04:08
RB interview:
'I find myself being more of a secretary nowadays. Or a cleric
anyway. I mean a clerical worker.
'I should be out on the street because I know what's going on.
If someone says there's been a burglary on Skeetmore Estate,
I can put five people in the frame. And I go up and put a bit
of pressure on them - I mean the four that's not done it, they've
got to convince me that they've not done it and then I can bring
the other one in.
'Proving it is another matter. (Cough).'

Commentary:
'On the battlefield that the Skeetsmore Estate has degenerated
into, the old soldier tends to stick to his own tried and tested
methods - methods which have not always won official approval
but which he believes are the only way to get results.'
Timecode: 01:06:10
RB interview:
'Well, there's ways and means. Ways and means. You've got to
fight fire with fire... (sub here please)... There's only one
way to beat a bully. A bully will be a bully until eventually
he meets a bigger bully. I think that is in the human psyche.'
Timecode: 01:11:25
RB interview:

Commentary:
'During his years manning the Stanton frontline, Roy has developed
his own pragmatic philosophy. He has little time for sociology
- OR for sociologists.'
Timecode: 01:06:10
RB interview:
'I find that a criminal's a criminal and that's it. I know people
are victims of circumstance, but that's no excuse. I mean I
come from a working class family, you know. When I was a kid
we didn't have fancy games or anything like that. We just got
a lead soldier and an orange and all that business at Christmas.
Nowadays they want everything. And if they haven't got it, they
think they've a right to have it.
'At one time if you seen a kid breaking a window you'd give
him a smack... (Sub here please)... It's a lesson... (Sub here
please)... But nowadays you can't lay a hand on them. You get
kids in the street and you can touch them on the shoulder and
they'll say that's assault. I mean that's your hands tied behind
your back.'
Timecode: 01:17:11
RB interview:
'I mean the people coming in now they've got no street experience.
I mean they go to university and they come back you know, flat
cap and all the rest of it. That's no good on the street. You
can't talk in Latin to a kid that's bleeding stealing a car,
you know.'
