«My personal view is that I don't
think water cannon bought from Germany at great expense are the answer to policing the streets of London,» the deputy prime minister said this morning.
«The home secretary's refusal to approve
water cannon for use on London's streets should be a clear signal to Boris Johnson that he is the only one who
thinks this ill - judged proposal is a good idea,» Labour assembly member Joanne McCartney said today.
