The very first comment on this story on BBC News 24 was an attack on Boris from Tony McNulty - the bias is shameless nowadays.
And, obviously, ineffective.
I'm surprised Boff didn't do better; he had some solid-sounding supporters and the pundits liked him. Still, that Boris would win it in a walk was a given.
GO BORIS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget that all the votes against Boris were from Ken's moles.
Well done Boris, now come on Tories start attacking this vile, control freak Government before it's too late and oppostion is made illegal.
Now he's in power Brown is even scarier than I thought he would be. His so-called "big tent" is a shameless attempt to destroy any opposition to him in this country.
The man is a seriously psychologically unhinged creep who won't stop until he is supreme ruler and we all bend the knee to him.
No more squabbling, Tories, LibDems and all other freedom lovers get together and start an "Anyone But Labour" campaign for the next election.
Not really surprising. I look forward to the trouncing of Ken.
OT, but check out this hilarious story. It tells you all you need to know about life in Britain under Zanu Labour.
Haha Dennis!
Of course if that had been Cherie's reinforced Hummer you could have got most of the population of Luxembourg in it ..
As long as CCHQ leaves Boris alone to say what he thinks, he'll win in a canter.
Boris absolutely cannot, will not, win. Are you insane?
Did you hear him on the radio this morning? He actually answered the questions! This radical new approach might actually go down quite well.
People didn't vote because he was obviously going to win.
I would not be at all surprised if we lose the GenElec- but BJ actually wins in London. Typical. Anyway, if i were a Henley conservative, i'd be mightily p.o'd that Johnson ever considered/accepted standing for London Mayor.
Thank you God, thank you, thank you, thank you. Twenty more years, I love the Tory Party, miles behind in the polls and they choose this comedian to run London, unbelievable. We love you Boris, but we sure as hell ain't goin' to vote for you though, you do realise that don't you ? Someone tell Boris, anyone ? The buffoon thinks he is going to be mayor, well I'm not goin' to say anything.It was me that had to tell Maggie, it's your turn now for heavens sake.
So only 20,000 voted in this ? Seems rather small for a city the size of London.
Hitch say Boris wil one day be PM ,
People have worked out that Cameron is a fucking tosser and a loser.
As to Blairs BMW , why the fuck am I buying this cunt a 7 series?
He could make do with a ford and be just as safe.
Aaaaaand the website's gone down. Again.
The campaign site is still up, though.
This is just the beginning......
Actually my little fluffy seal pups, I think Boris is a rather good idea.
Clown maybe, bright clearly but direct and fun.
Of all the candidates, this is the guy they least wanted to fight.
Eileen, a very windy Little Hampton.
Boris wiped the floor with that smug partisan Naughtie, who was blithering. Damn, but that was funny. At least Paxman pretends to be impartial, in as much as he goes for everyone like a rabid dog.

In your mind GS, you need to get out into the real world if this all you have to worry about.

If Henley Conservatives complain about Boris standing for Mayor, they should be taken out and shot.
There are some damn good Tory candidates who would be an asset in Westminster, any one of whom could represent Henley.
Only Boris can win London for the Tories.
Don't be suprised that Boris didn't do better ... this was a healf hearted attempt by some lefties to vote in someone that wouldn't have a chance against Red Ken.
He won because they put him against 3 others who were, believe it or not, even more likely to lose the main vote for Mayor (who are the other 3 anyway, never heard of them?).
There are few things certain in life, Boris NOT winning the vote for Mayor is one of them. Won't happen, the people of London arn't stupid or mad.
Boris needs to up his game and get a new press team now.
Tamzin Lightwater is supposed to be a satire!
How the ears of faith distort the truth. It was Boris who raised the houses in Tower Hamlets issue and Naughtie correctly asked how he would do it differently. Boris funked the first question.
It will be an entertaining to see how the old goat does when he has to face real questions from Londoners - blustering toff does not play well. Moreover, Boris's campaign may well disappear from view as the general election campaigning starts, thereby minimising the 'celeb' factor everyone is relying on. The key issue is how many new defectors will the Labour Party wheel out next week to derail the Tory conference.
Ho, ho. Boris the clown is here to stay, at least until May.
If you treat London's election as a joke....don't be surprised if they have the last laugh.........
Anyone bothered reading Nick the Prick Robinsons blog recently? He's so far up NuLabs arse he must have an anchor chained to his feet to stop him falling in completely. If anyone sees him in the street please check his trousers for reinforced kneepads, and report back. The goggle eyed idiot is clearly spending far too much time bowed down in front of Gordon and Co. sucking on the 'pipe of politics'. What a sell out.
Oohhh Boris! My nipples are twitching already! Go Boris!!! Go!
As a neo-livingstonian reconstructed pluralist open-to-anything-that-polly-says socialist, I say down to this original thinking libertarian. For one thing, what would happen to all our major spending plans for the new culturally diverse, but inclusive, anti-british instruction centre if he were to get in?
> Cherie's reinforced Hummer
Are we talking about her oral technique?
I imagine we could get a small country in there.

Never thought your name was that hilarious, and your posts were always bloody boring, a tip, bog off and post your inane comments elsewhere.
Come on, how can anyone vote for Livingstone? Never forget that he stood shoulder to shoulder with the IRA who were bombing London whilst he was at the GLC. You'd have to be truly sick and twisted to vote for that bastard.

No, although I suspect it is much like your comments, of no interest to me.
Sturgess, does it bother you that Boris is *HOT* and, and in so being, unites ladies of left and right?
*Sigh* vive la frivolite
Red Ken has the immigrant vote. Boris needs to work on getting everyone else out to counter this ever larger bloc of immigrant voters.
That is, any EU citizen (unfairly) can vote in the London election, and the Poles will side with who let them into the UK - New Labour and Red Ken.
Unfortunately, Boris is a supporter of the KENgestion charge.

No.
My honest guess is that Warwick Lightfoot had more of a chance at winning that the total DORK that you are putting up.
No one anywhere in this Country truly believes that the Tories are serious when they put a clown up for running one of the biggest Cities in the world.
The first Gaff that blondie makes is curtains for him and disaster for the whole Tory shooting match.
Boris will deliver for Labour.
A dead Cert based upon what the whole country knows.
Go Boris go.

You're funny. I like you.
Publicaly humiliated on LBC's James O'Brian show today.
Talking of LBC, watch Nick Ferrari (LBC breakfast show presenter) on the Alan Titmarsh tv show, 3pm today, tell a tory totty what many conservatives think of Cameron.
Filmed yesterday, and apparently good viewing.
Guido, think about your credibility! You may have got it wrong for "cash for honours", but we all saw the evidence and know the CPS did a cover up. But you will have no such saving grace when Boris gets slaughtered in the elections. Boris is intellectually clever but he has no common sense, the man is a clown, Londoners will not vote for a clown.
Agreed. Londoners will not vote for a clown. He isn't going to win. He will be back to Henley in no time.
Some Londoners voted for a clown on the previous two occasions, many of them because they thought Livingstone was a 'bit of a laugh'.
Look where the twat has landed us Londoners. Gazillions of £s in debt for transport systems, little horrors allowed to travel for free, squillions spent on parties and jobs for lefty vermin....Victoria Beckham could do a better job than Livingsquit.
Mike
You put the tick in pathetic you retarded parasite. Give us all something to look forward to and go for number four - you know it makes sense. My tax-paying friends who still live under your new fascism are tired supporting worthless clapped out old trolls like you, who are not even good for a laugh. Fuck off and go for the Big One, with any luck you'll find Wilson, Callaghan, the cottaging cunt Heath and all your old heroes waiting for you.
There wasn't seriously a candidate called Warwick Lightfoot - right?
Aw Guido . . . poor Sturgy seems sooo tense . . . wonder who’s paying him (or her) . . to read all these nasty blogs?
I wrote to Gordon but he didn't write back and all I wanted was for him to be my friend. Now I've got MI5 watching me 24 hours a day.
What's that all about?
'mike' is clearly Guido trolling.
Livingstone is an oleaginous twat who looks and sounds like a child molester. Send the cunt to live in Venezuela or whatever commie dictatorship shitehole he’s currently jacking off over.
I'm sorry but have to admit for the first and probably only time I agree with gary elsby.
The shame!
Since Boris cannot organise his personal life, and clearly cannot make public speeches without offending some minority in a major way,
and whomever is Mayor needs to be organised...and think before he /she speaks.
then I would suggest Boris would be a disaster for London and the CP if he is elected.
However, imo he does not deserve election and will not be. He acts like a buffoon in real life. Anyone who suggests he could run a amjor office is suggesting a major lifestyle change.
As I have no say in the outcome, I'll watch with interest. I may be wrong.

Much as I love reading your blog Guido Fawkes, the comments do detract from the quality of your postings, always being eager to be snide, to lay accusations of bias and lack of foresight and commentary in comments and certainly no evidence of actually reading anything.
I checked out the story myself and I would argue that
[quote]
During his campaign Mr Johnson pledged to scrap "bendy" buses and return the classic Routemaster buses to London's streets, and to "work as hard for people in zone six as in zone one".
[/quote]
counts as the first comment in this story and Tom McNultys' comment is right at the bottom after comments from Boris, Livingstone and Campbell.
If you think the BBC is biased and you dont want to pay the licence fee, dont get a TV, its not compulsory to have a tv. If you think the BBCs biased and think Robinson is a prick you dont surf onto the BBC website. Easy as that.

Livingstone was forced to accept PFI deal (read Private Eye for any number of articles on how crap PFI are) on the London Underground and did all he could to prevent it including taking the government to court.
p.s And did anyone see that clip from Some mothers do have them involving Frank and a Routemaster bus last night? Hilarious.
To our wonderful mike:
Imagine the scene at a Labour party conference sometime in the 70's. In between delegates shagging each others brains out and saving the world, a still youthful mike locks eyes with a young Scottish apparatchik who makes it plain he wants more than to discuss his latest motion. Mike has to decline, as he has already pre - booked a rent boy for half a bob and he can only get it up once a week. Imagine his horror when in later years he discovers he turned down the chance to give it up the shitter to the future leader of this septic isle. Now totally deranged he haunts psyberspace trying to undo his fatal error by becoming GB's greatest groupie, and a total pest to all concerned. Now with half his arse hanging out he knows his only chance of jiggy lies with the likes of Quentin Davies who will bum anybody just for a bit of attention. A grim prospect indeed.

Anonymous @ 3.05 shows himself to be a total halfwit when he says,
"If you think the BBC is biased and you dont want to pay the licence fee dont get a TV, its not compulsory to have a tv."
Do you really think that the BBC is the only channel on the tv? Is this why you're such a blinkered, drooling Nu-Liebour imbecile?
The major reason that the licence fee is a disgrace is because you cannot choose to opt out of the ridiculously left-wing leaning BBC and watch just the other channels. In order to own and operate a tv legally, you have to pay the tax otherwise known as the licence fee even if you find the BBC despicable and only watch other channels.
Give people this choice and then see how popular the BBC is.
After all, with current encryption technology, it's pretty darned easy.
I bet we'd see the leftish bias disappear in short order then!
As for Boris....he's a decent guy with sound opinions on most things and, given the stupidity of the electorate, has at least the benefit of being recognisable. He might just do it. Anybody would be better than that fucking excuse for a rational human being, Ken Livingstone.
I'm just waiting for the junta in County Hall/Whitehall to crackdown on Boris with help from 'King Browns Broadcasting Corperation.
Good Luck Boris old Fella-I hope you can remember where London is.....

Tory actually.
ID,
You knew full well when you brought a TV that paying the licence fee is a part and parcel of being able to watch tv, if you werent happy to take that on, then you shouldnt buy a tv so it is no good moaning after the fact.
Its like if you buy a dog. Its no good moaning about the inevitable vet bills or the food bill or the cost of a lead, you know those are the costs associated with owning a dog.
By all means campaign for a removal of the licence fee, I dont have a problem with that, it is healthy to have a debate about the role of the BBC and whats its for but I hate adverts and like to watch uninterrupted programming.
But dont come whingeing to me because you have to pay it at the moment.
This comes across as a typical expecting rights to watch TV without wanting any of the responsibility of owning a tv.
I never said I was a fucking nu-labour apparatchik. They are far too authoritarian for my tastes. Neither am I a tory as the anonymous at 4.24 seems to be pretending to be me.

The BBC is effectively the state broadcaster. As such, it needs to ensure that it is politically unbiased - or at least it should ensure that it *appears* unbiased. If it doesn't achieve that, it becomes no better than Pravda and warrants the same disdain as that publication.
The interviewers should be professional enough to be able to give *all* politicians a hard time - whatever their political affiliations. Let's face it, most of them are lying bastards.
Paxman manages to do it reasonably well. The rest should do the same or find themselves in the dole queue.
There should be no room for sympathetic interviewing on the BBC - on either side of the political spectrum.
If they can't achieve that, they should be closed-down.

"The idea of a tax on the ownership of a television belongs in the 1950s. Why not tax people for owning a washing machine to fund the manufacture of Persil?", Jeremy Paxman, James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture, Aug 24th, 2007.
As for the "responsibility" of owning a tv.....the only responsibility comes in choosing NOT to watch state sponsored socialism - which I and all reasonable people would choose not to have if we could only do away with the licence fee.
I've already given you a way you can replace the licence fee with an encrypted channel (hardly new technology there) and then see who is actually WILLING to pay for the BBC. Then suckers like you can have it without adverts (for as long as the 10 paying subscribers can keep the channel going) and the rest of us can have less biased coverage and an end to long term indoctrination.

'Should have *went* for it'? You fucking illiterate fuck! Go away and learn some grammar.
" Go away and learn some grammar."
You get an A level in English for language like that.
The responsibility of buying a TV is paying for the electricity it uses.
The BBC is like being forced to pay for a junk-mail copy of socialist worker being shoved unwanted through your letterbox.
Did such a small group of people rerally give a monkeys as to who loses to Livingstone?
If it performed properly, the BBC would be well worth the cost of the licence fee just to have a few advert-free channels (provided they dropped all the self-advertising that they do at the moment - it's almost as bad as the commercial channels).
It just needs purging of the biased journalists who work there.
Just because I work for the best candidate in the form of Ken Livingstone, it doesn't mean that I cannot comment on this sad right wing blog! My sole job at the press office is to counter the right wing comments and tell the truth. I and the many other press and media monitors that staff the lord Mayors office take our duty to the state very seriously indeed.
I shall almost certainly be voting for Boris - my first X against a conservative candidate's name since 1979.
I suspect that I will not be the only non-Tory to vote for the boy - hence the sustained attacks on him by Ken, the cretinous Blears etc.
Mike, your medication's failing again. Livingstone isn't the Lord Mayor, you utter, utter prat.
He's the elected Mayor (for all that says about the electorate). The Lord Mayor of London is an altogether different position - see http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/business_city/lordmayor/ and http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/business_city/lordmayor/mayoroflondon.htm.
Of course you agree with me!
I just tell it the way it is and let the Tory suicide squad deny it.
Basic simple politics for fifth formers.
Boris Johnson in charge of traffic control at Heathrow airport is the same as allowing Osama Bin Laden to be inncharge of our nuclear weaponry.
My apologies to Dr.Liam Fox who would kill the first bastard to get in his way.

Why does Ken Livingstone visit Cuba so often?
Does he take advantage of the same state run brothel that comrade Chavez uses?
The Cuban regime employs children and adults of both sexes to satisfy the urges of many of the worlds leftists! The price of this service of course is that all clients of the state run brothel will support Castro without question!
I would love to see the secret video footage made by the Cuban secret service and so would the London voters I should imagine?
i agree with the hitch @ 10.51am....
boris, in comparison to any effective leadership of the tory party, looks positively Churchillian at the moment. Early in his career, set for a substantial loss, plenty of time yet, who knows what be upon us in 40 yrs or so...

As a Londoner I'd vote for Boris over that that terrorist loving scumbag any day.

Shame on you for impersonating me at 4.27. You are not a gentleman. Only to be expected from a New Labour troll of course.
what puzzles me is that ken waited for years to get a pan london council , and then it all goes so tits up that boris is giving him a serious run for his money.
sorry mike but boris is going to point out just how tied ken is to gordon , the london public are screwed to death and they have had it with labour
thanks
the partys over
Honestly, people, where have you gotten the idea that being a walking joke is disqualification for high public office? I mean, have you MET many politicians? It's practically a prerequisite.
I'd probably vote for Red Ken if I had a vote, but believe me, I'll have a nice big bet on Boris winning. Whether or not you like it, mass appeal is how elections are decided; it's not a lot of pointy-headed intellectuals sitting around weighing transit algorithms.
Yep, a landslide - on 0.3% of the vote. That will really have Ken rattled.
It did look like the only time boris had been on a bus though.
The clown can't even give an interview on the Today programme. Where's Steve Norris?
When will someone upload that Today interview to YouTube????

As you mention the BBC some of you, can you please remember that the BBC is not and has never been libertarian of any political description or wing.
It is a left wing Fascist corporation infested with instinctively fascist employees mainly at the top, but spreading generously all the way to the bottom.
If you have ever been conned into thinking it was ever anything else but Authoritarian state Fascist to its very core. Sorry you are simply not as cleaver as you think you are.
Libertarians from left and right have been describing the BBC as being a bunch of mind control Fascists since the 1930's. The BBC has not changed a bit other then to get much worse and far more obvious.
Its just not as smart at the subtle covert long term brainwashing type of propaganda anymore, but then it does not need to be.
The public are now so diverse or disinterested or just plain stupid they cant spot totalitarian Fascist state propaganda even when its caught RED handed robbing £135 worth of there hard earned and already taxed once, spare cash every year.
However it is worth considering that not to many people even know what a Fascist is or even that Fascism and Nazism are fundamentally LEFT WING socialist ideologies. Or that being a Liberal has nothing what so ever to do with believing or doing anything liberal. ( except when it comes to sexual habits anyway )
Or that being a Conservative has nothing to do with hanging black people from the front porch every morning or dedicating your entire political life to making the existence of all gay people all immigrants and all women as unhappy as possible, just for cheap laughs and quick votes.
So much for the BBC's mission to educate and inform. What a steaming success that has obviously been for the last 60 years. The most sheep like, brainwashed and dangerously misinformed public in Europe.
Whatever happened to Lurliene Champagnie?
