LBC: London Mayoral hopefuls take Londoners calls
Rob Blackie appeared on Nick Ferrari's LBC show taking Londoners calls alongside Green candidate Zoe Garbett and Reform candidate Howard Cox.
Rob Blackie confirmed his top priority as mayor would be to fix the Met Police. He said:
“Londoners are feeling let down by Sadiq Khan.
“People tell me they are feeling worried – it might be a stabbing that’s happened nearby or a car that’s been broken into on their street. After eight years of Sadiq Khan as mayor the Met is in a mess.
"As Liberal Democrat mayor it will be my top priority to fix the Met.”
In further comments to LBC, he called the policy of stop and search for cannabis “a complete waste of time", adding:
“There are things that matter a lot more. Rape and sexual assaults are not getting the attention they deserve. If you call the police for shoplifting it takes the police two hours to arrive. They could be using their time better.”
