Similarities

The similarities between the English Labour Party, the English Drive by media and the US Democrats and their drive by media are startling. Boris Johnson was pegged as a racist, and likely a homophobe, mirroring what they do to Conservatives in the US. So what does Boris do his first day to live up top his promise to reduce crime? He appoints a black guy, Ray Lewis, a former prison governor, as Deputy Mayor, and gives him the task to night and day combat crime.

Mr Lewis is a director of the Eastside Young Leaders Academy, a project that helps young men heading towards a career in crime turn their lives around.

According to Metropolitan Police figures, 26 teenagers were murdered in London last year in stabbings and shootings and 12 young people have met violent deaths already this year, the latest on the evening that Mr Johnson ended Ken Livingstone's two-term incumbency of the Mayor's office.

"We face a wave of violent crime amongst young people in the capital. Kids are killing other kids. Ray will be part of my team who will work night and day until we put an end to this tragic trend," said Mr Johnson.

Tory strategists plan to use Mr Johnson's new high-profile position as a test-bed for Conservative initiatives that they can then point to as examples of how the party would govern the rest of the country if they repeat his success in a General Election.

The new mayor has already demanded tough action on crime in the city during his first meeting with Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair. Over the next few weeks, he will order hundreds more policemen to patrol the public transport system. He has also pledged to introduce weapon scanners at tube and railway stations and will set out plans to ban alcohol on the Underground and confiscate travel passes from offenders.
