Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, opposes police budget cuts following days of looting and disorder. He believes "robust policing" is needed, particularly with the Olympics being held in London next year. This puts him at odds with Prime Minister David Cameron, who says there will be no reduction in "visible policing". The government has announced plans to cut police budgets, but Johnson wants them to reconsider.
