Reckless mayor puts our lives at risk as fire stations are axed
Johnson warned to halt dangerous cuts to vital services – or have blood on his hands

Ruthless toff Boris Johnson has been warned by firefighters that he will have "blood on his hands" if he goes ahead with cuts to fire stations in London.

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) issued the warning and highlighted that three out of the eight fire stations which sent engines to the Apollo Theatre ceiling collapse in the West End on Thursday are among the 10 stations due to close.

FBU called on Mayor Johnson to reconsider his decision yesterday, at the same time as the announcement that seven local councils have lost their High Court bid to block the cuts.
