the only way he could make it less safe would be if he actively interfered with intelligence operations or cut funding to the services which I would suggest is highly unlikely

[arista]

yes I would say Safe


I wonder if he can build local housing , though

[Toy Soldier]

No.

Boris was a buffoon and Ken Livingstone was corrupt, so he really can't do much worse than his predecessors

[joeysteele]

No, London will not be less safe in my opinion and I think he will be a really good London Mayor too.

[Tom4784]

The campaign against him has been disgraceful. It's basically come down to 'he's got brown skin so he's a terrorist innit?'

London is certainly safer in his hands then it was in that bumbling fool Boris'.

its not about 1 person, its about the people they surround themselves with. I don't know enough about them in this case. I do know that he has distanced himself from Corbyn, so that's a good start.

The fact that Boris is clearly not a buffoon is what makes it so ****ing sinister that he's perfected this act of pretending to be one. Like a shark swimming around saying "Lololol look at me I'm just a harmless and silly rubber chicken!"

Lets give him a chance to get his feet under the table, we have to give him time before we can judge anything

lets say for 1 moment that he was a terrorist supporter. How long do you think he would last in his position if he took action in support of them. With the eyes of the world upon him, I would suggest minutes.

it got him in.

One things for sure, you won't be able to criticise him like you could Boris without being labelled a racist.

That's a very good point

[Toy Soldier]

I would imagine that people will be able to criticise him without being labelled racist so long as their criticism obviously isn't based on his race.

Which most of it will be, either explicitly or covertly.

He is in a no win situation if London is attacked during his term, it is a prime opportunity for ISIS to divide a city, no question about it

I think we need to put the Mayor position in context. Its not an all powerful position. Indeed the one being proposed for Manchester is much more wide ranging. That will be the interesting one.

Not with those perfectly manicured hands.

Last year murder rates increased by 20% in London most of them gang related good old Boris.
