Hoodies

Asked if the Prime Minister believed that we should be "hugging hoodies", the PMOS replied that the journalist was trying to point him in a party political direction, and he would resist. The PMOS said that our policy remained the same, which was that was why the Prime Minister had developed the Respect agenda, SureStart, New Deal etc, and why we also had the anti social behaviour approach. Those were the concepts we believed would tackle the issues of youth crime and behaviour.

Asked if the Prime Minister saw hoodies as aggressive, the PMOS said that he did not want to get involved with comments about what the Leader of the Opposition had said. What the Prime Minister had said at PMQs was that if people appeared to be a threat to others, for example in shopping centres, then it was right for people to voice their concern, but also to take appropriate action.
