Watch: David Lammy’s interview fail

David Lammy has just popped up on BBC News to complain about the lack of police on Britain’s streets. Unfortunately for the Labour MP, as he was doing so Mr S couldn’t help but notice who was standing behind him: a police officer. Lammy told the BBC:

‘We haven’t seen a police while I’ve been here and I’ve been here for a little while.’

Maybe Lammy should look a little closer next time…
