Bradley has praised Kemi Badenoch's article in the Daily Mail.

Bradley said:

"Personal responsibility should still matter. The collapse of consequences is responsible for much in British life. 

"Crime is a good example. It shouldn’t be explained away but clamped down upon. 

"If we maintain a culture where people think they can do whatever they want and nothing will happen in response then we have a serious problem. 

"Police time should be spent on shoplifters, robbers, actual crime, not policing hurt feelings. 

"A great article today from Kemi Badenoch - link in the comments below."
