When reporting on this exchange the Guardian described it as
Martin Linton (Lab) makes a party political point - well, it is the local election - about safer neighbourhoods and community officers. Mr Blair gratefully lists what Labour has done in London.

After my experience with my local cab office I took the case to my local MP. Martin Linton after some toing and froing it was clear to me he was attempting to blackmail me over trumped up document's contrive by the Department for work and pensions and my local citizens advice bureau.
This was a feeble attempt to silence me and now he is in serious trouble he does not deny these facts he can do nothing except keep has head down and hope the problem goes away. I could see there was a need for an honest member of Parliament to represent Battersea of course that is providing there is such a thing as a honest Member of Parliament. At the last general election I realise it would be a close run election between Labour and Conservative
in Battersea.
My personal experience told me many of the areas which traditionally support Labour would voter UKIP if there were one of their members standing. I later found out from UKIP Wandsworth area organisers they would only be standing prospective candidate's in two wards. Putney and Tooting so I contacted senior figures in the party to cut a long story short I gave them the lowdown on Martin Linton well it must have been something I said they came back to me and told me the head found a prospective candidate for Battersea Mr Terry Jones then there was a big flap on to go through all the procedure I was invited as a honorary guest at the executive meeting held in Putney at the home of the UKIP prospective candidate four Putney.
Terry had been a councillor on Greenwich Council London as you can imagine we had a good old chin wag I'm sure Martin Linton ears were burning. By the way to stop any confusion Terry Jones was a Conservative at the time of hes spell on Greenwich Council and I am not a member UKIP and have no intention joining. Terry and I discuss strategies at my home Terry was fully aware he had no chance of winning but he would have a platform to promote hes beliefs which he took full advantage of at the results with a speech.
Once Terry was firmly in the saddle I saw nothing of him he never gave me a chance to give him the key areas to canvass to pick up Labour voters was Terry running is own vendetta against the Conservatives for reasons
best known to him? Had UKIP it's own agenda? had I lost Dominic Schofield a parliamentary seat
