Tackling crime in the capital

It is the Mayor’s first priority to make London safe and in the build up to the last Mayoral election in 2008, I was horrified by the incidents of knife and gun crime in our capital. Beyond that there was an atmosphere of intimidation and fear of young people. Anti-social behaviour and robberies blighted the lives of thousands, while the previous Mayor flippantly suggested that the media was hyping up crime up by claiming “If it bleeds it leads.” 

Crime is very real and affects everyone. That is why my administration has brought new leadership to the Metropolitan Police attempts to tackle this problem head-on:

My Wish For UK Prime Minister

As a resident in London with voting rights I have political opinions and I am committed to playing my small part in improving the quality of life in my community, so here is my political wish list for Our Prime Minister:- Do not blame ethnic minorities or immigrants for the breakdown of family values in London. Ethnic minorities do not have much influence in the economic balance of London and are more or less victims of the more powerful forces of the local corporate system. Do not blame hip hop music for the "gang culture" in London. History shows that gangs existed in London even before Hip Hop became mainstream. Just look at the movies featuring local gangsters. Black boys are not the only children with a crisis of identity. Most children are facing crises on different levels. Do not pander to the media that highlights failings amongst ethnic minorities but suppresses crises amongst local people. Do not force feed cultural influences on people with varied trad

Boris Johnson is a SEO Strategist

How Boris’ Remarks Affect Rankings After the interview, news pieces started popping up across the SERPs.

And in the title of every single piece of coverage? His name next to the word ‘bus’. Let’s look at this as if it were a content marketing campaign you were running for your client. Say the KPI was increasing the rankings of a specific keyword, or perhaps more generally the branded key term. Any marketer undergoing a link building campaign waiting for press to come in would consider the above coverage as a huge success, no doubt monitoring closely what affect this would have on your client’s rankings.

You are invited to Boris Johnson's book launch

Image
The following is a message from Boris Johnson, The mayor of London. (Dear Londoners) I love London. I love its vibrancy, its energy and its can-do spirit. That's why I ran for Mayor in 2008 and it's why I'm running again. The strength of a city lies in its people - from the famous, the infamous to the heroically obscure. From an earlier Mayor of London Dick Whittington to the tireless volunteers working to turn around London's next generation. All whose endeavours have built the place we call home, I salute. Which is why I decided to write a book about the people who made the city that made the world. And I want you to join me in a celebration of these fellow Londoners. Just reply to this email ([email protected]) with your full name and phone number to get a free ticket to attend the launch of my book, Johnson's Life of London, on Thursday 10th November at 7pm. Tickets will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. The first 200 people to respond will
