TimHood asked John Mason: "How are your proposals on crime different from Labour? Don't you both support initiatives like the Enhanced Policing Plan?"
John Mason answers: "The Enhanced Policing plan has shown a real improvement, driving down crime statistics in areas of Glasgow east including reducing incidents of knife carrying by 27%.

crime statistics in areas of Glasgow east including reducing incidents of
knife carrying by 27%. The SNP's policies not only support the Enhanced
Policing Plan, we have also invested £200,000 in tackling gangs in our
communities. With the SNP Government funding 1000 new police officers
Strathclyde police have confirmed they will have 465 new officers from the
Scottish Government in the next 18 months - something the Labour party
failed to offer the people of scotland and failed to vote for.

The SNP also wants to take action on the root causes of some of the crime
and violence in our communities with a new drug strategy to help people
lead drug free lives, with investment in community facilities for young
people to divert them from crime - investment coming from cash taken from
the criminals and drug dealers and new proposals to limit access to the
cheap booze that often fuels the violence on our streets. "Show less«

TimHood asked Simon Bucks: "In the last week we have seen both Heather Mills and Kate McCann break down in TV interviews. Do you think most news editors regard this as 'good television' or do you think they feel uneasy about it?"
Simon Bucks answers: "Both these interviews were carried out on other channels, so perhaps you should ask the editors of those channels. "

Brian Barwick answers: "The West Ham matter has been discussed at length and will probably continue to be. But as far as we are concerned the case is closed on it."

Show more»" I’m not sure they are under-performing as such, and really the national team was doing no better when there weren’t many foreigners plying their trade in the Premier League. National teams always go through up’s and down’s and we have always been unlucky in major tournaments. I have always thought that foreign players coming in to the game is a good thing for the England team. It teaches us how continental national and club sides play and makes us more aware of how we need to play. "Show less«

As I’m pretty much always connected, I don’t tend to use messaging through Facebook. It shows the power of Reed networks better than anything else though. But, that said, I expect its time will pass.

They certainly get quite a lot of information about Islam ( including, though I say it myself, my own reports from the Pennine towns, from Arab countries, from Iran and from the Dar ul Uloom at Deoband). Is the issue of integration so complex? I think it is quite straightforward myself. "Show less«

Show more»" There is no doubt that I do share this ground, and it is always a pleasure to speak to Muslim audiences because we can assume from the beginning that we have a number of important beliefs in common. However, it would be foolish to pretend that there are not important differences between conservative Christianity and conservative Islam, not least the differing attitudes to the nature of law, to pluralism and to tolerance. I am not sure what a 'natural ally' is, or how he differs from any other kind of ally. I certainly do see all people of faith, who acknowledge the sovereignty of God, as being allies on many subjects. But alliances, as history shows, are restricted to the shared purposes of the allies at the time. I seek a Christian remoralisation of what I regard as a Christian country, with laws and customs based upon Christianity. If Muslims are happy to support that ( and actually I believe many are) then I am more than glad of their support. "Show less«
