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'?
That was originally where I was going, but we seem to have unearthed a whole new interesting line of enquiry. Perhaps you could come back with a written response to say what is being done rather than us put you on the spot here.
