MICHAEL Howard was back on familiar political territory yesterday.

As Home Secretary, he made his reputation with a nononsense, hard-line approach to criminals.

As Leader of the Opposition, and potential Prime Minister, he remains a keen advocate of 'zero tolerance' policing. It is a stance in tune with the thoughts of many ordinary people.
