Boris Johnson has been filmed on a police raidTikTok 
The man who filmed the scene said: ...This is actually mad.'TikTok A man recording the video says ...wagwan Boris..., to which the PM replies: ...How do you do?... The stunned resident, Zee Remayne, told The Sun: ...I thought I was dreaming... as Mr Johnson burst in with specialist cops, complete with a bullet-proof vest. Boris had joined Met Police for dawn raids in West Norwood, South London this morning. In the video, Boris can be seen smiling next to heavily armed cops as the surprised homeowner greets him. In a string of videos, the man recording says: ...This is actually mad. I saw Boris Johnson in my face. ...Do you know how drunk I was last night? I feel like a madman. ...I woke up to a 6am raid and Boris Johnson's in my face. Bro, how the f*** did I get raided and Boris Johnson's there?... And in another he said: ...I feel like I'm in a film, fam. That was weird.... The PM, due to step down next week, was with Acting Met Police Commissioner Sir Steve House on the bust carried out by the force's Specialist Command Unit at an address in West Norwood. The high profile duo joined nine Proactive Team officers, based at Lewisham Police Station, to watch the ...intelligence-led targeted operation... aimed at combating drug-related violence in the area. And Mr Johnson referenced the dawn raid in a speech this afternoon, insisting: ...I can tell you how important is the element of surprise.... He added: ...The gentleman... was suddenly surprised to see me at the foot of his bed at 530 in the morning, he seemed remarkably pleased actually. ...The element of surprise is crucial....

It comes after Boris Johnson appeared to defend the police from accusations of being ...too woke..., as he used his final days as Prime Minister to stress his record on tackling crime. The Prime Minister, who leaves office when the Conservative Party's search for a new leader concludes next week, defended his Government's track record on policing and claimed that his premiership had cracked down hard on neighbourhood crime. It comes as the Telegraph reported that officers are being told to focus on the basics of policing by Home Secretary Priti Patel, with a report by the Policy Exchange think-tank warning that the public feel police are being distracted by ...woke... causes. Mr Johnson said: ...Look at neighbourhood crime, which is the thing that really affects the quality of life of most people in this country, and it's down by about 38% on 2019 since this Government came in. ...I think that's a great effort by the police, not just by the Metropolitan Police, by police up and down the country. ...And what you're seeing is 13,700-odd more police now on the streets. That helps, that makes a difference.... The Prime Minister referenced the recently passed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act as an example of how his Government had empowered officers in tackling crime. The Government says more than 13,790 extra police officers have been hired across England and Wales as part of Mr Johnson's pledge to put 20,000 additional officers on the streets. 
The PM said: ...How do you do?'TikTok 
The PM joined the Met Police on the raid in South LondonGetty The recruitment drive came after police officer numbers in England and Wales fell by more than 20,000 between 2009 and 2018, with Conservative-led governments in power from May 2010. He said: ...What also makes a difference is giving the police the powers they need to give criminals the tough sentences that they deserve, and that's what we put through in our legislation. I'm pleased to see it having an effect but I'm also pleased to see the activism and the energy of the police here in London. ...Yes, of course, we've got to make our society ever safer, but you look at what they've done: 38% reduction in neighbourhood crime, I think that's a massive achievement.... The Prime Minister also appeared to downplay concerns that the police are distracted by ...woke... issues. ...Well, I've just seen them. I tell you what, I've just seen a bunch of police officers who woke quite a lot of drug dealers this morning and they woke them long before they were expecting to have their breakfast,... he said. ...They woke them with warrants, and they woke them with the news that they were under arrest for causing misery in the communities of London. ...And that's what I want the police to do, that's what Priti wants them to do. ...I thank them for what they're doing. They're doing an absolutely fantastic job.... Mr Johnson also referenced his record on crime prevention, as he dodged a question on how he would like to be remembered. He responded: ...I think as the Prime Minister who in three years helped to bring neighbourhood crime down by 38%, thanks to the work of the Metropolitan Police and others. Thank you very much.... It comes as a new survey suggests that the experience of police recruits as part of the Government's bid to hire 20,000 more officers is ...less positive... for those from ethnic minority backgrounds. Some 10,206 new police officers from all 43 forces were invited to take part in the Police Uplift programme survey online between March and April last year and 34% (3,462) responded. It showed that 91% of respondents who were white were satisfied with the role as a police officer, compared to 85% of those from a black, Asian, mixed or other ethnic minority backgrounds. Overall, around 90% of new recruits were either ...very satisfied... or ...fairly satisfied... with the job. Ms Patel said: ...I have made it my priority to get more police onto our streets, cut crime, protect the public and bring more criminals to justice. Read More on The Sun 
LUST FOR MURDER I had baby with 'world's worst' serial killer - he's 40 years older than me ...This survey shows that the 20,000 officer uplift is delivering the next generation of highly motivated officers, and supporting forces like Thames Valley Police in the fight against serious violence. ...With an extra 13,790 officers already recruited and a high level of job satisfaction, this unprecedented recruitment drive will help to protect communities, keep homes and streets safe and bear down on violent criminals....

AlamyWittenoom has been wiped off the maps to stop people visiting due to the danger '/ ' 
AlamyThe ghost town is now only haunted by the ghosts of its deadly past as the last resident prepares to leave '/ ' 
AlamyIts once enviable mines rich with blue asbestos remain highly dangerous to humans '/ ' Its lethal legacy left officials with no choice but to force survivors to leave by August 31 or face forced eviction by police. Wittenoom was previously prime real estate, as it roared to life in 1943 when mining for blue asbestos first began. The boom in the industry created an inevitable buzz, seeing thousands of families flock to the area for work. But what they didn't realise is that the substance that provided the town's sustenance was slowly killing them. Over 2,000 workers and residents died as a result of breathing in the deadly fibres before the mines were closed in 1996. And the air remains toxic with asbestos today \- so much so, it was taken off maps and road signs in a bid to discourage people from visiting. The government started demolishing buildings and sealing off the waste dumps from the mines, and it was disconnected from the national grid. But despite the efforts of authorities, there were still three million tonnes of asbestos tailings left behind in the gorge and surrounding area.

Officials warned exposure to just a single fibre ...could prove fatal... \- meaning it will never be safe for human habitation ever again. Despite urging remaining residents to leave for numerous years, the departure is still proving a hard pill to swallow for one local. Lorraine Thomas is the last woman standing in Wittenoom \- and just wants a few more weeks to pack up her life. Her daughter Aileen told the Daily Mail: ...It's been her home. It's where her husband is buried in the cemetery.... Numerous loved ones laid to rest in the local graveyard were victims of Wittenoom's deadly heritage. In its heyday, the mine boasted a workforce of around 7,000 while the town was home to around 13,000 residents. Its demise came in December 1966 when the mine was closed due to a lack of profitability and falling asbestos prices \- and the following year, mining the substance was banned. FATAL ATTRACTION But the town, located on the edge of Karijini National Park, has continued to remain prominent as its list of victims continues to rise. Studies suggest at least a quarter of the people who worked in the mine will eventually die of mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease. Despite the deadly health warnings, Wittenhoom has become a surprise hit with tourists who manage to find it. There are hundreds of photos of people posing at the site, with some even photographing themselves near the warning signs. Some have even dubbed it a ...bucket-list... location, brushing off its other terrifying nickname \- ...Australia's Chernobyl.... But they have been urged to heed the cautions and reminded that cool pictures are not worth ...the threat of a fatal consequences.... The Western Australian Government announced Wittenoom's official status as a town would be removed in December 2006. The complete closure has been dragged out over the years amid protests from some remaining residents. Just six people were still in the town by 2015, dropping to four the following year and just two by 2020. In December 2006, the Western Australian Government announced the town's official status would be removed, and it was de-gazetted the following year. Now only Lorraine Thomas is left to leave.
