Boris Johnson, pictured above listening to citizen's concerns, has been caught out telling some really big whoppers. Having claimed that crime on London transport had fallen by quoting figures for a period before he became the Mayor of London, he has now claimed that youth crime in London is also falling. This despite Metropolitan Police figures that show quite conclusively that it has risen by over 9%. We asked Boris for his side of things; "Oh youth crime - I thought you said "tooth crime." I was quoting figures that show crime amongst dentists has fallen dramaically since I came to power. However, I would say that if you take out the figures for younger people committing crimes because they don't have jobs, then the figures are coming down. Of course that's mainly because most youngsters don't have jobs so there are fewer of those that do to commit crimes. But I digress. Since becoming Mayor of our capital I have made many enduring improvements. Rioting, for instance, has been kept to a bare minimum considering the Tory party is back in power and protest will soon be a thing of the past - along with democracy and social justice."
