sadiq khan say there?so needs to but i think he also needs to look mirror well. look in the mirror as well. if i'm completely honest, i'm being completely honest, i think times of think that at times the mayor of london has indulged in into draining tribal interests as opposed to genuinely cultivating social cohesion in the capital. so i think the thing with me, what can you give us an example of what you think he's done to? well, i think, for example, we in what i consider to be inclusive celebrations, for example, year's example, the new year's fireworks, i think there fireworks, i think that there have been overly politicised in my view, and i don't think that's i don't think that's right at all. i think it's irresponsible from mayor to irresponsible from the mayor to essentially very essentially promote very specific forms of political messaging when it comes to those inclusive celebrate scenes in the capital. i think the more generally dawn i was very disappointed by the response by mainstream politic

, sadiq i think with sadiq khan, sadiq khan a human rights lawyer, khan is a human rights lawyer, seemedseemed to carve out a very particular just particular niche. just representing, islamist representing, hardcore islamist terrorist. i mean, i'm sure he represented other people as well, but i mean, that said, you know, like lawyers represent , if know, like lawyers represent, if you're a if you're a criminal lawyer, you represent all kinds of , all kinds lawyer, you represent all kinds of, all kinds of people. and i think he makes the point that it's like being a doctor. yeah. it's like when a patient's brought into the hospital, you don't check their morals before, you operating on them. you know, operating on them. you just so it's just operate on them. so it's the as same a lawyer. the same as same being a lawyer. so let's let's cut, cut, cut, cut some slack here, okay. and sadiq as well, anyway moving on. that's part two out of the way. but still to come, comedians push back against holmes's hate crime law. has hollywood crime law. and has hollywood made racist against robots? made

. >> is it sir mark rowley or is it sadiq khan?olutely sir mark rowley, but of course he he works for mayor khan and it's as simple as that . and it's a very simple as that. and it's a very difficult call. i mean, each you know, for, for hundreds of years now we've had police officers, constable's able their constable's able to make their own decisions. i was own decisions. if i was a constable on the streets and i saw that incident taking place in front of me, i hadn't seen the sign because i was behind them. i would have probably made them. i would have probably made the same decision as the officers did over the weekend. but that doesn't mean to say in you know, in cold light of you know, in the cold light of day, when you look all the day, when you look at all the evidence look at what's evidence and look at what's happened, that that actually happened, that that was actually the decision. let's the right decision. but let's cut some to the police cut some slack to the police officers. you've make officers. you've got to make v
