Whisky Business at the GLA

These pictures of a "lively" Ken are from a recent meeting.

Openly drinking whisky, he doesn't even bother to hide it in a mug anymore.

Anonymous said...

Is that a glass with "cough syrup" on the table?

Anonymous said...

At least there's no sign of him adding ice.

Anonymous said...

He is not fit for office. He is a drunk, prone to gaffes and (worse) prone to deliberately malicious comments (albeit that the latter might owe something to the cough syrup...)

BOOT HIM OUT

country bumkin said...

What's this fetish about blue shirts with yellow silk ties? There's a pic of our local Tory MP in this week's paper similarly attired. It isn't very nice.

At least its not those horrible strippy shirts with the white collars...

Ken watcher said...

At least he's lurching to the right.

Mmm..

Inconclusive evidence...

You will never make him, er, I mean, it, stand up in court...

"What's the best type of Scotch Ken?"

"The one you never have to pay for of course... Cheers "

A wobbly man in a wobbly tower, just a bit more guidance from Guido and over he goes!

Why is that Limehouse link tunnel always closed at night for "maintenance" and has been ever since it opened, is it a scam, where does the money go, why is it never completed, who has become a millionaire out of it, we should be told!

Johnnie Walker Red said...

Why are you making a fuss? Asquith was always pissed in the First World War and Churchill was a complete wino. It didn't do them or the country any harm and Ken is merely following in the footsteps of other great piss artists.

thick as thieves said...

is ken drinking whisky at a meeting involving official business?
surely not, because wouldn't that be an act of gross misconduct and warrant his immediate dismissal?
no doctors would prescribe whisky.
what a very strange state of affairs you have ken. but I don't think your whisky soaked brain is going to be able to think its way out of the shit this time. you've run out of gas ken. you are all puffed out.

Driver, get my Zavod Imeni Lihacheva, i'm pissed again.

Livingstone was exposed as a liar on Victoria Derbyshire's BBC Radio 5 phone-in this morning.

Livingstone has strongly denied inviting drugs cheat Linford Christie to carry the olympic torch but Christie's agent produced a letter signed by Livingstone inviting Christie to carry the torch.

More ammunition for Boris to throw at him!

The Southport Drinker said...

Come on Guido. We may not like Ken Livingstone, but attacking a man because he enjoys a drink is low. At least he hasn't cynically 'quit booze for London' like Boris.

Julian said...

Aren't those still images off the Channel 4 Dispatches programme about Livingstone's drinking?

Anonymous said...

weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

He'll ahave to be dragged out kicking and screaming.

stroppycow said...

Pissed and newts springs to mind....

breakfast o'booze said...

Dispatches showed Livingstone drinking a large glass of whisky at a council meeting at 10am.

He claimed it was for "medical purposes" like all the old alkies say.

Yak40 said...

inviting drugs cheat Linford Christie

Perfect example of "New" Labour vision, reward the unethical, hold up cheats as a good example to the young.

I see the GLA can afford those really expensive executive chairs. Aren't they around £800 each?

Anonymous said...

What Guido never been pissed or e'd up at work? Half the city's on Bough and they run the economy.

Pot-kettle-black me thinks

Tamburlaine said...

total crap, all he's doing is leaning slightly forwards and back. just about everyone does this when they have to sit and converse for a long period, pissed or no. it isn't like he's falling off the side of the chair having wet himself.

Incidentally - why are so many people in the press cagey about using the word ALCOHOLIC? in the US there isn't the same reticence about calling a spade a spade as far as booze addiction goes. over here people go on about 'liking his drink' etc etc. If it's 8am and the only thing you can think of is whisky then you are a certified alkie, no questions.

sockpuppet said...

I wouldn't care if he were a raging, steaming, charles-hoovering Leo with a penchant for doing an Oaten with transvestites.

Not if he were honest and good at his job.

But who cares? If this is what it takes to boot him out then go for it Mr. F. I'm past caring how he's ejected.

thick as thieves said...

anon 1.32,
there is a difference. ken is a public employee, drinking what looks to be either whisky or urine during a taxpayer funded meeting.
anon 1.32, you must be a spastic.
try to think of some new cliches to throw around. you are a very boring retard indeed.

45govt said...

tamburlaine, I think the Irish who have a more thoroughgoing intimacy with the issue use the best euphemism "a lttle enthusiastic for the drink".

You may go about calling Red Ken an alcoholic, dipso, sot, whatever, all true, but no calling of a spade a spade in Londonistan, you will be most cruelly misunderstood.

A wide story then?

Newtologist said...

Obviously, he has been studying the drinking habits of his newts for far too long and he is now as pissed as one.

Mister Jones said...

That's not a Mayor, Ken's a glove puppet.

cassandra said...

The NuLiebour 'crackdown' on alcohol abuse doesnt seem to stretch to livingslime and all the pissed up MPs swigging subsidised booze?
Hmmm? The slimy cunt can sit in front of the London great&good pissed out of his tiny evil little mind and does anybody haul him out? It reminds me of Kennedy and his drink problem, everyone knew even the press but the limpdums lied through their teeth right up untill the drunken cunt resigned!
Funny how its fine for MPs to lie and cheat and drink to excess but if any taxpayer serf in a normal job tried it they would be out on their ear, quicktime?
One rule for the Westminster scum and one for the serfs eh?
The enemy class(political elite)must be pissing themselves laughing at us serfs and how they can shit all over us AND get away with it AND fill their boots with free money at the same time!
Ruled by a crooked elite who are selling us into foreign ownership while they are promised even more booty.
May they rot in hell and may God have mercy on their black souls because we will show them none.

Drinking Urine? Your taking the piss!

Ken is not a public employee he is an elected politician. That means he can die of old age, resign or we vote him out. Ask a grown up to explain the difference - pictures might help.

Spastic and retard? Wow seventies retro abuse! Hang-on I'll get my flares on. As you posted after lunch on Friday are you 'tired and emotional', or cannot find the shift key and spell clichés?

Facts

Winston Churchill was pissed for most of World War II and he beat Hitler who was tea-total.

Pitt the younger got through thousands of bottles of booze a year while PM - Good on him!

William Hague boasted of his drinking ability.

Better an honest drunk than a dishonest puritan every time.

Stick to Ken's real wrong doing Guido and it ain't drinking!

I am off down rubber dub dub for some tiddly winks me old china.

Middle Englander said...

Just a thought, who pays for the 'medicinal' whisky?
Or is it whiskey - we should be told!

Lilith said...

The chair he is sitting on costs £1000. The Mod refit filled HQ with them. They are probably civil service standard issue by now.

killemallletgodsortemout said...

So he's fond of the bottle.

Long may it continue.

The more he drinks, the more he shows himself to be the utter cunt that he is.

Anonymous said...

the amount of 'drink' doesn't appear to change.

This place is getting more and more like the Daily Mail every day

How do you know that? Looks more like my £40 IKEA chair.

Lilith said...

It's a Herman Miller Aaron chair, and I stand corrected, you can get the cheaper models for as little as £619, although they cost up to £900+.

anon 4.29
drinking whisky at work was killed off
by political correctness?
are you on crack?

bogeyman said...

Churchill may have been pissed half the time but he didn't lay down orders stopping others from drinking. Therein lies the BIG difference.

Someone has to say it - he is a pissed (drum roll) as a newt.
