I was reading in the press yesterday the story that more than 100 rapists have been let off with a police caution and that 66 of these cases that were highlighted involved child rape.

In fact it seems to me, on reading Sir Ian's [Blair] [former Commissioner, Metropolitan Police Service] book, that you were willing to say absolutely anything to get yourself elected. I quote him when he said, 'You cannot go on talking down the fall in crime in London which they have achieved, they need to know you care about them and the way that we can work together.'
