This piece by Mike Read explaining why he’s Backing Boris Johnson for London Mayor is one of the funniest things I’ve read in ages especially some of the comments.
I’d swear it was a spoof written by Harry Enfield if I believed that Enfield was still funny.
It’s essential for Boris to be much, much tougher on the persistently antisocial, making sure that rapists, murderers and paedophiles have no place, and never will, on the streets of London, and will not threaten civilised society.
I’ve spoken to lots of young kids in gangs or “crews” as they prefer to be known and most want to get out of a way of life that gives them nothing. Get in there … understand their problems and give them access to sporting facilities and the chance to make music, act, dance and write. Get them integrated into society and to realise its value.
