London needs a champion, and Johnson doesn't qualify
The Guardian, 24/04/2012, p.32, Dave Hill
In a piece alleging Boris Johnson's unsuitability for the post of London mayor, the writer says that he has done nothing in terms of addressing violent youth crime except increasing the use of stop and search tactics by the police. Resentment at this was cited as a factor behind the London riots according to research conducted by the London School of Economics and The Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/apr/23/london-needs-a-champion
