Jon Bright (London, OK): Legendary hardman John Whitaker Straw is all over the press today as he announces a beefing up of the law covering self-defence, in our favour (unless you are a criminal). Existing legislation has not prevented him decking detaining fully three criminals already in his past life (and pursuing a fourth who gave him the slip). Straw echoes noises made by Boris Johnson, declared winner of the Tory mayoral primary today in one of the most predictable election results in history: Boris has also promised to 'have-a-go' if he sees a crime taking place, though his current arrest record is decidedly less impressive than Straw's. Could the two of them team up to make the streets safe for ordinary people again?
So who would be Batman and who would be Robin?
