:00:07. > :00:13.Think local, boycott Tesco. I had a meeting with one of the senior guys
:00:14. > :00:18.at Tesco last week, who came in smiling. He left not smiling, cos I
:00:19. > :00:27.challenged him on so many different things! A bit Sheelanagig, one of my
:00:28. > :00:31.favourite local bands. They sometimes play here at the Tobacco
:00:32. > :00:42.Factory and they are really spirited. I listen to reason, I
:00:43. > :00:50.don't listen to rant. Listen, Mr Ferguson, no, no, no! I'm not
:00:51. > :00:54.anti`car, I'm just pro`people. You've insulted and patronise
:00:55. > :01:00.people. Rubbish. I want to listen to the quiet voices. I think your dress
:01:01. > :01:01.and your red trousers are now beyond a joke and you are degrading
:01:02. > :01:18.Bristol. Right, 50 shades of red! I was at a
:01:19. > :01:22.dinner last night. There is my dinner jacket and trousers. I've
:01:23. > :01:27.even got my own tartan, Ferguson Red, because I was prevented from
:01:28. > :01:32.wearing red trousers in a formal dinner so I thought, I'll just get
:01:33. > :01:35.tartan trousers and then they can't deny me. I've even got claret ones
:01:36. > :01:46.for funerals. I'm George Ferguson. I'm an
:01:47. > :01:51.architect ` that's what defines me more than anything else. McGreal
:01:52. > :01:58.yes, sir, can I help you, George? I'll have 12 for ?2. I was the first
:01:59. > :02:02.high Sheriff of restored. That is dressing up in black tights. I did
:02:03. > :02:09.it for the tights. `` Sheriff of Bristol. Now I'm the Mayor of
:02:10. > :02:16.Bristol. I don't think I was all that difficult as a child. Actually,
:02:17. > :02:21.at my secondary school, I once joined the gas mains to the water
:02:22. > :02:28.main so that when people turned on their Bunsen burners, water came
:02:29. > :02:33.out! I was a bit rebellious. I didn't used to push things to the
:02:34. > :02:51.limit. I don't know why. This, I hope, is the beginning of
:02:52. > :02:58.some real change. I think the decision to stand for mayor was a
:02:59. > :03:03.slightly hunkers one `` bonkers one in terms of what was likely to
:03:04. > :03:09.happen. But change is about having a completely different attitude to the
:03:10. > :03:13.governance of Bristol ` one that doesn't look to the parties and what
:03:14. > :03:19.they want but looks to the electorate and want you want. The
:03:20. > :03:23.big established parties had all the advantage. They had the electron
:03:24. > :03:30.knowledge, the helpers, funds. I had none of that. So it was barmy in a
:03:31. > :03:39.way but I do believe in the practice of the impossible.
:03:40. > :03:48.When I arrived, I was surrounded by cameras and TV and what have you.
:03:49. > :03:59.Labour Party, 31,259. There was the expectation they would
:04:00. > :04:07.win. I just realised that I was probably going to do it. George
:04:08. > :04:14.Ferguson, 37,053. Suddenly I find myself in a new world. I therefore
:04:15. > :04:16.give notice that George Ferguson is duly elected as mayor of the city
:04:17. > :04:33.and County of Bristol. I'm not going to wind them up. I
:04:34. > :04:37.share their anger. We're in extreme times. He has come in to be. He has
:04:38. > :04:40.come into being there at an unprecedented time in terms of the
:04:41. > :04:50.shrinking of council budgets and the rethinking of the way and what they
:04:51. > :04:54.do. I suppose the biggest political occasion for me is the budget, in
:04:55. > :04:58.that it such a crucial thing and it's crucial to the city that we get
:04:59. > :05:01.the budget through. If we don't get it through, a budget will be imposed
:05:02. > :05:12.on us from Westminster that will really hurt. We'd better go down and
:05:13. > :05:15.face the music. I'm Zoe Sear and by grants title is Mayoral Initiatives
:05:16. > :05:21.and Partnerships. I was the person that the elected mayor chose to
:05:22. > :05:25.bring in with him. The rules were that he could bring in one person
:05:26. > :05:29.and that was me. Traditionally the role would be classed as a political
:05:30. > :05:34.adviser. George didn't actually want a political adviser, just a regular
:05:35. > :05:38.human being. So there's a lot around translating what the mayor would
:05:39. > :05:41.like to happen into language that is understood why the 8000 people that
:05:42. > :05:55.work in the City Council and vice versa. I'm well at the moment. I'd
:05:56. > :06:00.like to formally oppose my first budget as Bristol's first elected
:06:01. > :06:04.mayor. It's been a tough job finding the 35 million to balance this
:06:05. > :06:08.budget, while doing our very best to maintain essential services. I have
:06:09. > :06:12.to balance what I passionately believe in with what is possible
:06:13. > :06:18.with what is practical and what is deliverable. As an independent, it
:06:19. > :06:28.is quite a lonely role in a way but I don't shed a tear about that. If I
:06:29. > :06:31.was a mayor from one of the parties, with a large group on the City
:06:32. > :06:40.Council, it would make it much easier for me. For instance, as an
:06:41. > :06:45.independent I have to negotiate the budget through four parties. I don't
:06:46. > :06:50.feel able to support these measures, the impact they'll have on residents
:06:51. > :06:54.in my ward, and I think many of the savings are illusory. To face 3
:06:55. > :07:01.money on pounds worth of cuts is just unthinkable. And Paea cuts too
:07:02. > :07:08.far. As Labour councillors, we cannot accept that the government
:07:09. > :07:17.should be visiting this huge level of cut is and so we will be
:07:18. > :07:23.abstaining from the budget. Please cast your vote urgently. I declare
:07:24. > :07:32.the budget as amended for 2012` 3 passed. Good, done it. We're in the
:07:33. > :07:37.clear. I have to say that I think I have more friends than throw on the
:07:38. > :07:44.council. It could have been a lot more contentious. `` more friends
:07:45. > :07:47.than enemies. That is a relief. Got that over with! There's a lot of
:07:48. > :07:59.work to do, though. We're in the Brunel Buttery on the
:08:00. > :08:02.south side of the old city docks. All life is here and it's a very
:08:03. > :08:06.democratic spot. There's nothing pretentious about it. You can sit
:08:07. > :08:15.here and see so much of Bristol and so much of my personal history, as
:08:16. > :08:21.well. I arrived in Bristol in 1 65. In 1966I bought a little house in
:08:22. > :08:25.Clifton Wood for ?900. It seems so ridiculously cheap but they were
:08:26. > :08:32.going to demolish that hillside so I started a campaign to keep the
:08:33. > :08:38.hillside. So immediately I got very involved with the city. In the
:08:39. > :08:42.1970s, I got involved with a gang of people who decided that we should
:08:43. > :08:47.buy the cranes back off the scrap merchant that the city had sold them
:08:48. > :08:51.to. So we saved the cranes and with the proceeds of selling the cranes
:08:52. > :08:57.back to the city, which it embarrassed them to do, we bought
:08:58. > :09:00.the first yellow ferry. If you can make a difference to people slides,
:09:01. > :09:04.it makes your own life so much more worthwhile and there is nothing much
:09:05. > :09:15.more worthwhile than being a mayor of the city that you love. We've got
:09:16. > :09:21.a non`agenda so let's get going as quickly as possible. I think George
:09:22. > :09:26.has handled remarkably well coming into what is an alien environment.
:09:27. > :09:29.If you think of him as a successful businessman who was always dealt
:09:30. > :09:33.with business people, for him to come into what is a very staid,
:09:34. > :09:37.process lead, slow`moving organisation, I think it was always
:09:38. > :09:43.going to be a charge. Anything else in the remaining two minutes? George
:09:44. > :09:48.gets frustrated that the lack of ability to do things very quickly.
:09:49. > :09:52.We get six or seven ideas a day You have to follow his Twitter to find
:09:53. > :09:59.out what he is thinking. Right, Jason, the bid... It is a real
:10:00. > :10:03.culture shock for the establishment of the Council to submit have this
:10:04. > :10:09.tornado come in and say, I'm only here for an hour so we've got to get
:10:10. > :10:13.it sorted quickly. It's something which has been quite interesting to
:10:14. > :10:18.watch. I've given you four minutes and I did make it clear that it was
:10:19. > :10:23.three minutes. You didn't turn up for this group meeting. I'm sorry,
:10:24. > :10:29.Councillor Hopkins. It's the first time I've been aware that I was
:10:30. > :10:33.expected at that Friday meeting Councillors feel they are now rather
:10:34. > :10:37.second`class. I think he's sad about that that that is inevitable when
:10:38. > :10:41.you concentrate power in one person. I have a job to do running this city
:10:42. > :10:50.and people should know that. Sit down now. Just a few more points.
:10:51. > :11:01.No. Do you wish to hear them? And sure I will hear them later. Thank
:11:02. > :11:05.you very much. OK. I'm from the best ward in Bristol. OK, I'm not going
:11:06. > :11:10.to argue with that. As the mayor holds all the power, it's quite
:11:11. > :11:17.important he does get around the city. Get in there and look at wards
:11:18. > :11:21.with councils ` it's important and it does give us a chance to get
:11:22. > :11:27.George to connect with residents. Al come and sit at the end. Agencies
:11:28. > :11:35.like ours are so disadvantaged now. We've lost 46% of our organisation.
:11:36. > :11:41.We've got a greater need for our local voluntary agencies and you are
:11:42. > :11:47.taking it away. You know the bigger picture ` we had to save 34 million
:11:48. > :11:52.out of this year's budget. We've properly got to save 60 or 70
:11:53. > :11:55.million out of the following two years so some things are going to
:11:56. > :12:03.give. We can't escape that. What we've got to look at, therefore is
:12:04. > :12:07.how we most intelligently use that money to minimise the impact on
:12:08. > :12:12.actual services on the ground. I think the voluntary sector and the
:12:13. > :12:18.local voluntary sector, and the small organisations, actually are
:12:19. > :12:21.part of the answer, not the problem. Pressure on people's lives is very
:12:22. > :12:28.real. You have to start thinking about what kind of services Bristol
:12:29. > :12:32.City Council is going to prioritise. And for me, especially representing
:12:33. > :12:39.my ward, the big one is still a tale of two cities, because there are
:12:40. > :12:41.people for whom... They feel as if they don't belong to the Bristol
:12:42. > :12:56.that they hear George talking about. So, Bristol applied to be European
:12:57. > :13:01.Green Capital 2015 and there is a 2`stage process. You make a
:13:02. > :13:09.technical application on a range of different subjects and the short
:13:10. > :13:13.list is created. Now we are in the frame for European Green Capital,
:13:14. > :13:17.we've got the final pitch and I feel very responsible because a lot hangs
:13:18. > :13:21.on it. We really thought we ought to win it because we're going into the
:13:22. > :13:25.final in first place after the technical stage. There is that
:13:26. > :13:31.moment when you suddenly realise, this is it. It's a real pressure. It
:13:32. > :13:37.is our to lose. We're going to try and do a full run through. Our first
:13:38. > :13:44.run through, if we're all honest, was a bit of a road crash. People
:13:45. > :13:47.think that there is... That European capital... George just haven't had
:13:48. > :13:55.time to think about what it was he really wanted to say. You learn the
:13:56. > :14:01.most in your first practice. So the plan is to try and make a complete
:14:02. > :14:10.run through, as per usual. It kicks off with Graham. Graham kicks off.
:14:11. > :14:22.So I'll be Graham? The film first, then Graham? No, Graham then the
:14:23. > :14:30.film. Almeida slides, then. I stood to Micro I stood for election as
:14:31. > :14:37.mayor of wrist all... Sorry, this is not prepared, as you can tell, but I
:14:38. > :14:42.will be absolutely on the button. The rehearsal was rough today. You
:14:43. > :14:50.need to be active listening, a lot higher energy. I work well under
:14:51. > :14:54.pressure. The pressure on the day is when people really perform. I'm
:14:55. > :14:58.always getting goose bumps from thinking about it because this team
:14:59. > :15:04.effort, that have been together for months, have practised, had
:15:05. > :15:09.arguments and, OK, we're here now. This is it. Real pressure to bring
:15:10. > :15:21.it home for Bristol. I'm entrusting him in your care. Rehearsals have
:15:22. > :15:25.gone pretty well but they've not been perfect so I'm hopeful that
:15:26. > :15:28.it's perfect on the day and I think that's the right way round.
:15:29. > :15:29.Sometimes you can have perfect rehearsals and it all goes belly`up
:15:30. > :15:44.on the day. Commissioners, presidents, mayors,
:15:45. > :15:49.mes amis verts. It's good to be here. I think the biggest strength
:15:50. > :15:53.we have in Bristol is a sense of fun, and I think it's vitally
:15:54. > :15:56.important that if we are to communicate with the citizens of
:15:57. > :16:00.Bristol, that we do so in a way that Nantes are doing.
:16:01. > :16:06.So when I get back to Bristol, we will be having Big Green Week, a
:16:07. > :16:09.week of environmental fun and engagement and at the end of Big
:16:10. > :16:13.Green Week I'm starting a new initiative ` Make Sundays Special,
:16:14. > :16:18.and we try out new things and closing streets and to me it's
:16:19. > :16:22.really important. So, thank you for giving us this opportunity and I
:16:23. > :16:23.look forward to the result with a certain amount of apprehension, as
:16:24. > :16:35.all of you do. Thank you. The Award of the European Green
:16:36. > :17:03.Capital 2015 goes to the city with the sense of fun, Bristol. Ah, phew!
:17:04. > :17:15.Three, two, one. Les sourires sil vous plait, voila, merci beaucoup.
:17:16. > :17:21.How come you're not wearing red trousers? Because I said if we won
:17:22. > :17:28.the European Green Capital for 015, I'd wear green trousers for Big
:17:29. > :17:35.Green Week. Lovely day for it. Bristol has a very small Mayor!
:17:36. > :17:43.It's exactly what I wanted to happen, things like cricket and
:17:44. > :17:46.tennis and basketball in the street. I mean, what I'm really impressed by
:17:47. > :17:49.is the way I've just said these things to council officers and
:17:50. > :17:54.they've happened, brilliant. That's exactly how it should be, you know.
:17:55. > :17:57.Stand up, girls, this is the mayor of Bristol. We can draw something.
:17:58. > :18:00.There's a real contradiction in terms of Bristol being the European
:18:01. > :18:05.Green Capital 2015 and yet we are one of the most congested cities in
:18:06. > :18:12.the UK and the two don't sit very comfortably.
:18:13. > :18:18.I was asked what was a principle theme for European Green Capital and
:18:19. > :18:22.I think it is dealing with the level of air quality across the city. But
:18:23. > :18:28.to tackle that I have to deal with the question of congestion. NEWS:
:18:29. > :18:32.Bumper to bumper: 50,000 vehicles come into the city during rush hour
:18:33. > :18:37.alone. But now 18 areas close to the city centre could become
:18:38. > :18:41.residents`only during the day. There are parts of Bristol that have been
:18:42. > :18:44.crying out for residents' parking, and in fact previous administrations
:18:45. > :18:47.have looked at it several times over. But I think there was a
:18:48. > :18:53.general recognition that politically it wasn't going to be that popular
:18:54. > :18:56.rolling it out across the city. So I think, to George's credit, his
:18:57. > :18:59.vision and certainly his learning, having talked to other cities, you
:19:00. > :19:03.know, because it would be ludicrous to think he'd just woken up one day
:19:04. > :19:07.and said, hey, look, do you know what guys? Just for the chuff of it,
:19:08. > :19:15.let's roll out residents' parking, because everyone's going to love
:19:16. > :19:18.that. In your election manifesto you said that you'd seek to devolve
:19:19. > :19:21.power to local communities. You seem to have disempowered local
:19:22. > :19:23.communities by imposing a one`size`fits`all residents'
:19:24. > :19:31.parking. I think you misrepresent me, with due respect. I've said that
:19:32. > :19:37.I want this to be tailored to local needs. If you are within the scheme,
:19:38. > :19:40.I can't leave a hole in it. I can't leave a hole in a residents' parking
:19:41. > :19:45.scheme because that will just be exploited and I can tell you that's
:19:46. > :19:47.what happens. When people feel things are being foisted onto them,
:19:48. > :19:50.particularly when they've been foisted unexpectedly, their instant
:19:51. > :19:55.reaction is, well, hang on a minute, what does this mean to me? I'm not
:19:56. > :19:58.going to be able to park my car outside or it's going cost me X
:19:59. > :20:03.much. 98% of the residents polled are not in favour of your tax. It's
:20:04. > :20:08.a road tax, it's parking tax, it's a road tax. The traders have told you
:20:09. > :20:13.that should you pursue this tax a lot of them will go out of business.
:20:14. > :20:17.Now it seems to me, George, it's not about what they want, it's about
:20:18. > :20:21.what you want. I wouldn't be doing this if I thought that would be the
:20:22. > :20:24.result. The result in most cases has been exactly the opposite, in that
:20:25. > :20:28.instead of streets being clogged with cars that are parked all day,
:20:29. > :20:34.you get much greater turnover and therefore more customers. You're not
:20:35. > :20:38.talking to the population. You're saying, tell us your problems and
:20:39. > :20:42.we'll give you solutions. You're not planning to ask. No, no, no! But
:20:43. > :20:45.there's no real engagement, engagement that you promised when
:20:46. > :20:54.you got elected. Of course there is. Why am I here? We are completely
:20:55. > :20:58.open and, by the way, this is.. I've heard the question, can we not
:20:59. > :21:01.repeat it? I listened to you, I expect you to listen as well. It was
:21:02. > :21:04.blindingly obvious very, very quickly that the residents' parking
:21:05. > :21:11.rationale and argument had not been shared with the city. I don't feel
:21:12. > :21:14.we talked to citizens enough around encouraging people to use different
:21:15. > :21:17.modes of transport and we can't roll out quickly enough improvements that
:21:18. > :21:31.mean it's feasible for people to get out of their cars as quickly as
:21:32. > :21:38.George might like. Come and listen to the public, Mr Ferguson. No, no,
:21:39. > :21:41.no! NEWS: The mayor of Bristol has suffered an embarrassing defeat
:21:42. > :21:43.tonight after councillors voted 49`2 to stop his residents' parking
:21:44. > :21:46.scheme being introduced in its current form. Mayor Ferguson was
:21:47. > :21:51.criticised for failing to consult properly. He managed to put the
:21:52. > :21:54.backs up of nearly everybody in the council chamber, including people
:21:55. > :21:57.like myself, who in the past have promoted residents' parking schemes,

:22:06. > :22:07.There was a great deal of public disquiet and councillor disquiet

:22:16. > :22:19.sometimes sees councillors as a nuisance, trying to get in the way.
:22:20. > :22:23.We understand he now holds the executive power. I think what we
:22:24. > :22:27.want to see is that he understands that we hold a mandate from our
:22:28. > :22:32.residents, that it's our job to represent them here and put their
:22:33. > :22:35.viewpoint. Even if that is on occasion a viewpoint he doesn't want
:22:36. > :22:38.to hear. What the councillors like to project me as is intransigent,
:22:39. > :22:45.just telling people what to do, and I'm not like that at all. The
:22:46. > :22:48.objectors are the loudest. I don't in any way underestimate the power
:22:49. > :22:55.of all that, but I suppose I underestimated the councillors all
:22:56. > :22:58.rounding against it and against me. And in a way the job becomes real
:22:59. > :23:03.when you get objection on that level. Take the papers home and see

:23:21. > :23:24.listened and I've adjusted it to ten of those zones. We've considered
:23:25. > :23:31.what are major revisions to the programme. I will ask cabinet
:23:32. > :23:34.members if they would like to add any comments, I'm sure that some
:23:35. > :23:37.would. My position would have been such that I could not have supported
:23:38. > :23:41.the original proposals as they were then tabled. What is now put
:23:42. > :23:46.forward, I would think, is a really positive sign. We ultimately ended
:23:47. > :23:50.up with a proposal that still brings about much of what George wanted to
:23:51. > :23:55.happen but brings it about at a slower pace and seems to be a better
:23:56. > :23:59.outcome for all concerned. I will end up with a really nice thing that
:24:00. > :24:03.somebody said to me. The noble art of losing face will one day save the
:24:04. > :24:08.human race, and I genuinely thank you all for the contribution you've
:24:09. > :24:11.made. I mean, that was really good, moving
:24:12. > :24:15.from uniting the council against me, to uniting the cabinet with me.
:24:16. > :24:19.That's... I think that's a pretty good result.
:24:20. > :24:24.In a way I think the year has gone both slowly and quickly. There's
:24:25. > :24:28.been a tremendous amount of change and I think achievement, and yet I
:24:29. > :24:36.find myself a year on, um, still learning. It's difficult for one
:24:37. > :24:40.mayor in one city to change the culture of local government. Power
:24:41. > :24:45.is still very, very concentrated in Westminster. And the jury's out on
:24:46. > :24:49.whether the government will live up to its pledge that those cities that
:24:50. > :24:56.opt for mayors will have more access to more funding. But I still think
:24:57. > :24:57.that he has the right to go up to Westminster and argue his case for
:24:58. > :25:07.special treatment. Mr Mayor, I'd like to present you
:25:08. > :25:10.with a flower. That's really very kind. Enjoy your day Much
:25:11. > :25:17.appreciated. No problem. Mr Mayor? Yes? First of all, I voted for an
:25:18. > :25:23.independent mayor because I don t believe in party politics in local
:25:24. > :25:26.government. But I have to say that I think your dress and your red
:25:27. > :25:29.trousers are now beyond a joke and you're degrading Bristol. That's
:25:30. > :25:32.just an opinion. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But I
:25:33. > :25:37.don't think I will take that seriously. And if you want another
:25:38. > :25:39.suited councillor then vote for one next time. But I'm afraid you get
:25:40. > :25:48.what you get with me. Getting sit`down meetings with the
:25:49. > :25:53.Prime Minister and Secretaries of State are not daily occurrences
:25:54. > :25:56.What I want to come out of this meeting is a much greater
:25:57. > :26:00.realisation that if they give greater trust to the cities and the
:26:01. > :26:02.city leadership, to give us more responsibility, to stop treating us
:26:03. > :26:12.like children with hand`outs, that's not the way to run a city. I've
:26:13. > :26:17.never liked authority, which may seem strange from a person who's in
:26:18. > :26:23.authority. So there's a little bit of anarchist in me, with a small A.
:26:24. > :26:29.And wearing red trousers, I think it's my little rebellion against
:26:30. > :26:36.authority. I don't want to be told what I should wear. It was an
:26:37. > :26:41.extremely good meeting. I think we found lots of common interests. They
:26:42. > :26:45.realised the challenges I've got and that there's an awful lot more I'd
:26:46. > :26:50.like to be able to borrow and all that sort of thing. But I think the
:26:51. > :26:53.principle thing is that we have I think, impressed them with what s
:26:54. > :26:56.been happening in Bristol and I think they'd quite like to be able
:26:57. > :27:04.to share some of the benefit of that.
:27:05. > :27:10.We've got some kids in trees. I ve always said that if you can make a
:27:11. > :27:14.city that's good for children, you'll make it good for us all.
:27:15. > :27:17.Morning! Morning, all. I think children planting trees
:27:18. > :27:19.brings together all those things I believe in.
:27:20. > :27:23.What are all your names? Tell me your names.
:27:24. > :27:26.And the idea of planting a tree that actually won't be mature until after
:27:27. > :27:31.your lifetime is I think a special gift.
:27:32. > :27:37.Children across the city will be planting more than 30,000 trees in
:27:38. > :27:41.three years ` that's the aim. When you get made mayor, no`one gives you
:27:42. > :27:46.a book and says, here's the book on how to be best mayor. George does
:27:47. > :27:49.upset people and I think his style is different to your average
:27:50. > :27:53.politician and I think, if he thinks someone is talking nonsense, he ll
:27:54. > :27:58.tell them, in a slightly colourful way. You know you can't be
:27:59. > :28:02.anti`politics the whole time if you are yourself a politician. And he is
:28:03. > :28:07.a politician. This is much more fun than a council meeting, it's
:28:08. > :28:12.amazing! I'm not saying George is perfect. He is impatient, he can be
:28:13. > :28:16.deeply frustrating. However, in terms of what this city needs, in
:28:17. > :28:18.terms of passion and commitment and energy and drive, and real vision,
:28:19. > :28:27.he's got that in bucket`loads. Hello, I'm Ellie Crisell with your
:28:28. > :28:30.90 second update. A woman's pleaded guilty to
:28:31. > :28:32.murdering three men whose bodies were dumped in ditches in
:28:33. > :28:34.Cambridgeshire. They were all stabbed. Joanna Dennehy also
:28:35. > :28:41.admitted two attempted murders. Google and Microsoft are to block
:28:42. > :28:43.searches for child sex abuse. Changes will prevent thousands of
:28:44. > :28:45.terms from producing results. Critics say most internet
:28:46. > :28:47.paedophiles don't use ordinary search engines anyway.
