Are we safer in London now than five years ago?

Five years since the failed bomb attacks of 21/7, is the terror threat to London as severe?

It's five year since the failed bomb plot of July 21st - just two weeks after the devastating attacks of July 7th. As Baroness Manninghan-Buller tells the Iraq inquiry, the war there has increased the threat of terror in this country, how safe do you feel in London? We're told terror attacks on our city are thwarted all the time, do you think we're safer now than five years ago? What about the threat of violence or even sexual attack on public transport? Figures have been revealed that the Labour government reportedly tried to cover up, showing at one point there were 35 sex attacks per day on public transport. Does that reflect your own experiences?

Ealing Central and Acton Conservative MP Angie Bray wants people in social housing to face eviction if they refuse to get rid of vicious dogs. Drug dealers and violent criminals should also face bans, possibly for five years, from being "in control of a dog in a public place" to stop them using them as weapons. Is this the way to tackle dangerous dogs in London? A man who wrote a letter to his council complaining about a gypsy settlement on a piece of land near his home - he's now been accused of using discriminatory and insulting language. Should residents have the right to complain about traveller sites? Plus, what's the weirdest gift you've ever been given?

I'll be back tomorrow morning from 7am.
