Ken will in all likeness be elected with another massive majority at the next election. I will be one of the people who vote for him.
I live in London and think the man's a twat
I heard the recording of it last night on tv - the journalist was pissing him off and repeating his question constantly, and Ken said something like "you're like a concentration camp guard i suppose, only doing their job" which I took to mean that although the guy was being annoying he wasn't doing it off his own back, it's just his job.
Ken was right. The guy deserves it, if he doesn't leave Ken the fuck alone... and this punishement is entirley overkill.
The population of London is 7,465,100
Only 1,920,541 bothered to vote.
Only 828,380 (1st + 2nd choices) actually voted for Red Ken.
Not a ringing endorsement by any stretch of the imagination, in fact one could say most Londoners didn't support him.
He's a disgrace to his Office as Mayor of London and should be sacked. Its about time he got himself a proper job, something that seems to have elduded him for years as he's ponced around the corridors of left-wing politics seeking to puruse his mad-cap schemes!
He is not Anti-Semitic. Sigh. I can tell an anti-semitic joke. Does that make ME Anti-Semitic?
Under half the country voted for labour. Wait, under half the country voted! Don't vote, its your own fault someone you dont like gets in! Tought shit!
He's done a good job, actually.
OMG THE QUOTE THING IS ALL ITALIC!
Please...
Funnily enough the majority of Londoners thinks he's doing a very good job, thank you very much.
It's just as well out of towners don't get to vote in the London elections. Like all the commuters who think it's their right to bring their 3-ton gas guzzling monster machines into London every day because they can't be bothered to get their lazy arses on a train.
They might not like the CC- we Londonders do.
May Ken live a thousand years I say.
Yay! Well done. Democracy is indeed a load of bollocks.
Well, on a user pays basis they should do. The daytime population of London is overwhlemingly comprised of people who don't "live" there. That's if you agree with elections ofc., which I don't.
Fucks sake.......
They pay alot to work in London. Congestion Charge. Train fairs. Alot of tax collected OUTSIDE London is also spent... INSIDE London.
Also alot of non-Londers go to London shopping. And so forth.
"Got himself a proper job?" Yeah, maybe it's time he stopped drifting along wasting his life in dead-end jobs like the highest office in the biggest city in Europe and went into accountancy training or something...
Just out of interest, how do you know this?
London contributes massively to the wealth of the UK, indeed the South East does as a whole. Overall gigantic amounts of money through the government are taken out of the South East and spent primarily in the Midlands, the north, Wales and Scotland. If Southern England was a separate country we’d be loaded and Northern England would be a lot poorer.
Anyway I don’t have a major problem with the North sponging off the South except for some moaning northerners that have the nerve to bitch about having to pay for the Olympics (when in fact it won’t cost them anything) and about things been spent on stuff in the South.
Though I agree that quibbling over election results due to low turnout etc is pointless.......
Care to post an argument which is in any way backed up or justified, or just toss? Nope...?
Right, carry on with the thread then.
Do you even live in London? Care to tell us how he's been a disaster?
ETA: He also ran the campaign to get London to win the bid to host the 2012 Olympics.
Public transport- and transport in general- runs far better under Ken. You could argue that transport is the first and most important issue when it comes to running a city.
He's done fuck ups of course. The removal of the Routemaster was a disgrace. But overall he's done far more good than harm. He's become an ambassador for London and his reaction speech to 7/7 was sublime, far better than any other politician's.
And he also supported the IRA when they were busy murdering everyone who opposed their perverted vision. That's enough in my book...
If you want that vote SDLP - don't murder those who disagree with you...
