Wasn't the major of London a lawyer for the 9/11 terrorists or something similar?

Why the hell would anyone suggest cutting off CCTV's in Westminster of all places?

[DemolitionRed]

How could he be a lawyer for dead people? Was there one that got away and if so, was Sadiq Kahnt practising law in America?

Fairly certain this did not come from Khan. He seems pretty balanced and intelligent.

Mind I guess, even intelligent people have their stupid moments.

Whoevers idea it was, thats ****ing crazy.

Yeah, to save 1m. Mental. Wouldn't even really save that anyway

Terror and policing expert David Videcette told the Standard earlier this month: "It will be a huge, huge loss to police.

"All council CCTV networks are a massive resource to police, have a massive impact on bringing down anti-social behaviour, crime, drug dealing, they are very, very valuable to police.

"It's crazy - the money the council will spend on putting things right, vandalism, theft from local authority premises, it will pay for itself twice over.

"And there's a risk if there was a terrorist attack and we had to track a terrorist's movements.”

Luckily the terrorists didn't need tracked, but thats just that...luck

Are council budgets really cut THAT much that they would be desperately scrabbling to save 1m somewhere?! I know our council is struggling. I did think it would be different in the South, an d certainly in London :/



parmnion - where on earth are you finding that this was the advice of the Mayor?

Bahhh

“We will keep talking and in the past week have had very constructive discussions with the Mayor, the Metropolitan Police and Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime.

I read your post wrong. Yes, it seems the Mayor was spoken to about it. Doesn't say if he supported the switchoff (I doubt it) nor if the met did (also doubt)

What is 'a pan London solution'?! Jesus christ I am not udnerstanding a lot today

In fairness it was his last minute intervention the day before they were due to be switched off that stopped them from being shut down.


Mind, he could have done it right at the begining and stopped all the wasted free meals and meetings.

Oh right. Well that sounds a good idea tbh....

Not sure whos ideas I am backing anymore so instead
-It is ridiculous to turn off cctv simply to save 1m
-If councils are actually stretched enough to need to take measures like this, then thats a disgrace
-I did not know that councils in the South were being hit as badly as the ones up here where we no longer have streetlights due to budget cuts
-A 'pan London' sounds a decent idea

She has just made one of the best speeches on sky news I have ever heard.

[DemolitionRed]

Her speech was dreadful but you clearly enjoy her authoritarian appeal parmnion. She's far from strong and stable... more like weak and vulnerable.

Unfortunately the Tories will likely win this election but I dread to think what the back benchers will do to this bloviator who's treated this entire campaign like she's a one man band.

It's only childish when it comes from those with different views then, as you are usually in agreement with the most sarcastic person on here. When it suits!
