Boris on Blair

From today’s Sunday Times, Page 2: -

"The problem with Ian Blair is that he is not a policeman's policeman. He is more interested in getting all the boxes ticked, in meeting targets than actually fighting crime."

It's a bizarre claim, and possibly actionable. If Boris seriously wants to cut crime, perhaps he should start with criminal libels against serving policemen?

If Doris truly wants to cut crime then he should put his personal feelings aside and actually try working for his £100,000 by doing what he said..working with all people from all parties to get things done..he should save his personal gripes for his memoirs..Ian blair is by no means a perfect copper in fact far from it but i would say he knows a little more about crime in london than bozo does.

I personally believe Ian Blair should have resigned over his role in the cover-up of the death of Jean Charles De Menezes.

I am against the libel laws, but as the Mayor-elect knows nothing about the city, compared to Ken, he is in a precarious position in commenting on London's policing methods.

Mis-leading.  Boris didn't say that, and aide said it.
