Mr Mayor, can I raise the issue of sectarian tensions in London from the Middle East conflicts between Sunni and Shia? I welcome the comments you made to Andrew Boff AM that you do not want to see international disputes come to the streets of London. In the past 15 months I have seen a number of incidents which concern me. The first was raised by Lebanese businesses on the Edgware Road about Anjem Choudary’s [cleric] mob inciting clearly religious hatred aimed at Shias. It was dealt with as a public order offence but an opportunity was missed to deal...
Are you surprised that the Mayor said, `I often find lots of documents produced here which, if I had had time to go through and amend, would have had a strongly different tone'?
Do you accept the view that the biggest difficulty facing the Thames Gateway is the social infrastructure (schools, hospitals, housing etc)? How do you plan to address this? .
