exmouth 11.32 (and all the others..you know who you are). Yes Boris is well known, so is Hitler, Jade Goody, George Bush, Michael Barrymore, Tony Blair etc. but would you want any of them as Mayor? Yes he is well liked (maybe not by those he has shagged & dumped), but so was Benny from Crossroads. But he would be no bloody good at the job. For fucks sake, ask anyone who employs people, you have your list of preferrable attributes, then you have your essential requirements...and one of these is ALWAYS an ability to do the job. End of. No more. Stop this fucking nonsense right now. Boris cannot be Mayor.

@southerner: Ken is an utter bastard who is doing his best to destroy London. His campaigns succeed in the nastiest possible ways, usually by playing on racial minorities. Hence the sponsoring of racial minority black-cab drivers. What about the white ones who are just as in need of the cash, but who manage without it? You have about as much understanding of this issue as a flattened mongoose.

Boris is a good candidate for mayor, he's well known, well-liked, and is the only conservative other than Cameron that anyone has ever heard of. Mayor of London would be a great coup for the conservatives, I'm sure that Boris' constituency could spare him for a while...

On the face of it I can't think of a better man for the job of dismantling the gruesome Ken The K*nt's Kongestion Kharge. From what I have heard there are already plans in position for the extension of the charge further westward (never any other way you note - not enough Tories). The sooner Boris is firmly esconced in the Porsche 928 headlamp the better as far as I am concerned.

Being likeable is not enough. The public like Jade Goody. That doesn't mean she would ever be mayor, or for that matter, PM.

Johnson's childish twatiness is appealing but only because it shows what a joke the conservative front bench is.

Dearest Hitch,

I was hoping that you would pop in next door as I have just been done over by a couple of NULAB rottweilers! I got out of my depth and got bitten! I can only hope you get them next time they show up.

If Boris is the answer - it must have been a bloody stupid question!

London needs him - yes the Plague turned out pretty well in the end and we just have to wait for Mr Boris "call me Samuel" Johnson to get all fired up.

Rats to that!

Go on Boris. London needs you!

What the feck is going on, is this national looney day? First there is a plethora of morons who think Boris would actually make a good mayor, then what seems like representatives of the blind society actually think Ann Widacombe is worth one! Widacombe? Wid I fuck!

Ann Widdecombe is not as ugly as you think.

How do you know this? I try not to think about Anne Widdecombe's allures - in fact, i'd prefer to be braindead than risk doing so.

But on a more positive note...

wouldn't she and Prezza make a lovely couple?

Me too, I might actually be able to afford buy a house in London once the bubble has burst.

2007-07-05T15:39:00.000+01:00

Ken Livingstone?

Thinks he is the president of a city state.
Acts like he's the president of a city state - overseas embassies?
Oil trading?
Introduced the world's lamest C-charge system in the face of the opposition of his technical chief (Derek Turner). It costs £4.75 per car per day to administer - so he had to put it up to £8.
The C-Charge extension will never break even and shops are now closing in K&C.
The bus fleet costs £750m per year in subsidy. In 1998 it made a £100k surplus.
Thanks to road space removal and perverse traffic light timings pollution (nitrogen dioxide, particulates) in central London has rocketed since 2001 - just ask the Knightsbridge society.
Every major city in the world is switching to gas-power for their public road transport - why have we got 8500 diesel buses and 21,000 diesel cabs ('the most polluting public sector vehicles in Europe' senior GM Europe engineer).
He has bill going through the Lords to allow him to take control of roads running to the edge of greater London, so he can add more tolls. Why?
Borderline anti-semitic and very dodgy in the face of extremist elements from the East.
Stupid 6th form politics - eg the fight over the Fire Service appointments.
Gave his missus a job at the GLA on 95K per year....

Why Boris?

Non-ideologue, almost apolitical.
Will shrink the role back down to what it should be.
Probably sees that with local councils and the GLA, we have enough government in London.
Will appoint non-political experts to run the infrastructure. The TFL board is nothing more than Ken and four mates trying to reclaim the streets.
Will easily work with GLA instead of fighting with them.
Will step back and let the real experts - police, fire, etc to get on with the job.
Won't want to start controlling the train services coming in from the Home counties for political purposes.
Famously bikes everywhere.
Can dump some powers that Livingstone has tried to gain.
Doesn't believe in some bizzarre trans-national mega city, that drives out middle class families at the expense of drifting global workers at the serious expense of long-term prosperity and social cohesion.

That's why....

Southerner

I suppose you think Red Kens support of the infamous & fascistic theocrat Dr Qaradawi is ok too?

I suppose you support homosexuals being thrown from the highest roof in their town too, don't you?

If Londonistan does not get itself together, the real English people may insist that Red Ken declares independence for his Islamo-Socialist Theocracy in the making.

I cannot for the life of me understand the lefts alliance with Islam - surely left & right are part of the same democratic spectrum? Theocrats are clearly not a part of that, so why the support & appeasement & apologies for Islam from the left?

I am beginning to suspect that the western liberal left would side with anyone & anything that could possibly bring about the end of the western world as we know it - & Islam certainly fits that bill.
