The problem for Gove isn't that that this a law an order issue. It's a class issue. "One rule for them, one rule for you and me". And at the moment, I don't see how he neutralises it.

Edit - Question: is Barry Gardiner's claim the most epic attempt to exploit false equivalence of all time?
Since Boris is going to win, time to speculate wildly about his Cabinet.
Chancellor: Javid
Foreign: Hunt
Home Secretary: Truss
I’d except Grayling, Fox, Hammond, Lidington, Rudd, Bradley, Gauke to be retired, and promotions for Kwarteng, McVey, Cleverly, Cox and Malthouse.
Who would have pockets that deep? Who in her campaign would bother?
What price can I get on an OBE for Fiona of Nick and Fiona fame?
Rees-Mogg as Chancellor?
Health will be a tricky one. Cleverly?
Mr. Eagles, that's interesting.
Fag packet says at least 10% of that, i.e. £35k.
Everyone who has given our drugs policy a second's thought must realise that we only maintain the lines (ha) that we do to make our Brexit policy look rational. Everyone knows it doesn't work, that drug use is endemic in all social classes, that our war on drugs has been irredeemably lost and we need to do something different. If I was half as bright as Gove I would seize that message and run with it.
Whether or not he would accept it is another matter.
This is getting as silly as Corbyn's attempts to claim he abhors racism.
It will destroy the credibility of JRM and so many others in the European Remain Group.
We know the flashing bails have the same weight as the wood ones, but either centre of mass, centre of gravity or coefficient of friction are likely different for them not to fall.
Edit: Or possibly the flashing stumps are the cause of the problem, do we know they are the same weight and is the stump/ground interface the same with all the electronics and cameras?
He was in charge but his two key chief of staffs (both former council leaders) and deputy mayors - including Cleverly and Malthouse - and the Police/Fire/Transport commissoners did the detail.
Boris doesn't seem to do detail and has a short attention span - but with the right team around him perhaps he might make a good fist of being PM. They have similariities - one minute its policing or counter-terrorism, then its the Olympics, then its sorting out Transport or Crossrail, then you have a meeting with the Chancellor or Home Secretary to discuss priorities etc etc. And with numerous photo ops and launches thrown in to keep him busy too.
Some might say in terms of experience running a big operation he could be one of the best qualified PMs in years.
If they’re going to have flashing stumps, then making them flash should indicate a wicket.
Oh how I wish Rory was going to do better.
The ranking of London mayoralties goes like this:
1 Livingstone, term 1
2 Johnson, term 1
3 Johnson, term 2
4 Khan, term 1
5 Livingstone, term 2
Does anybody have a way of guesstimating this?
Mostly it is about PR. Johnson did however make noticeable improvements in crime, cycling and building design - relying largely on an army of “deputy mayors” to do any of the real work.
Johnson’s key weaknesses are laziness, dishonesty, narcissism, and gimmickry. None of these were fatal to his Mayoralty.
So why not forget about them and just go with the flashes, if that's what the ICC really want?
Now I find that most of the time
Gove's not enough, in itself"

Either way, having flashing lights, then ignoring them when they flash, is a silly idea.
He was lucky with the Olympics of course, although he could have got himself in trouble over his silly speech at the handover at Beijing.
MUST... HAVE... CROSSRAIL...
There's also "The Meaning of Gove" from 1982.
He's supposed to stand up for London's industries on the global stage but seems to revel in stories about jobs leaving to Europe. He may not have voted for brexit and neither did the city as a whole, but it's still happening and spouting "London is open" a few times a month does nothing. I think that's where Boris was very good, he knew exactly how to represent London overseas and ensure that we were always in the conversation by bringing industry bodies with him. Khan seems to ignore the a lot of London's industries at the moment because they aren't giving him the negative brexit news he wants.
As we discussed on here a couple of days ago, brexit is going to have a lot of unlikely winners in Europe and it doesn't seem, at the moment, that London will lose very much at all. Khan can't seem to get his head around that.
Gaga now, sadly, but at his peak in the early noughties he was formidable.
A classic example if Boris's Garden Bridge. A pointless carbuncle that seems designed solely to enrich his cronies and hangers-on, paid for by the public purse.
(*) I;m not saying Khan has.
Baby
For you and me now!"

About the same time, I started mentioning that Rory should be a future Conservative leader.
I'd love to be right on that as well - although I doubt it'll be this time around ...
That he bragged about it on TV, that five people guilty of the same offence will stand up in court and admit their own guilt, that his dealer grasses him up?
I’m more interested in his ability to do something with his mandate. He has done nothing, unless you count rising knife crime and mismanagement of TfL finances.
It may be unfair, but I suspect you'd be shocked how disliked London is in the rest of the country. And it extends across all classes of voters.
What an arse
