After a successful campaign on cutting transport fares, Labour’s Ken Livingstone launched a new campaign today attacking Boris over cuts to police numbers.

Last year Ken said if elected he would create the first ever ‘Victims of Crime Commissioner for London’ – to improve support for the victims of crime.

Yesterday, Ken launched his policing pledge promising to reverse Boris Johnson’s cuts to 1700 police officers.

Ken’s team have started advertising the campaign on the Evening Standard too.

I’m sure Boris feeling he could cut police, take them form Communities ,put the remaining Police on the trains for Knife (Metal detector arches) had his heart in the right place, But I has failed miserably, I’m not Kens biggest fan, I’ll Vote Libdem first and Ken second ,But Boris should have the decency to admit that cutting police was A big mistake.

Patricia Hewitt noticed:

‘It is obvious from our own polling, as well as from the doorstep, that the “London effect” is now very noticeable. The “Loony Labour Left” is now taking its toll; the gays and lesbians issue is costing us dear amongst the pensioners and fear of extremism and higher taxes/rates is particularly prominent in the GLC area.’

Ken wants more police. Just like the Nazis.
