Does the Mayor agree with the sentiment of the civil liberties group, Liberty, whose director, John Wadham, encouraged legal action against the Metropolitan Police concerning their policing methods in Oxford Circus and other parts of central London on 1st May, describing police action as "unnecessary" and "unlawful" and saying "the police will have to pay out compensation"? .
