Careful what you say FTQ - I may go the papers...

Sam FTQ

Too late - it had enough media coverage at the time; it's old news now.

Spugsy

he amuses me, which he shouldn't do as he's a ridiculous tory snob bigotted shitwitch, so no I don't. But I LOVED it when england played germany in some random celebs match and he actually thought he was playing rugby and rugby tackled some ex german footballer - he just didn't know what to make of it,

do a search on youtube, its amazing.

But no, england would be a laughing stock if he got in.

typical

Yes. Also, I've yet to see evidence he's lining his own pockets (although he's certainly lined the pockets of his friends).

He seems waaaay less corrupt than many local council chairmen are. And I still think Boris would be worse...

(The UK as a country had and has plenty of cushy relationships with murderous dictators, but nuff said on that)

Inselaffen

is that the official "Party line" on that Mr Scargill?

shakh your bootie

Ah, the scapegoat Scargill - given the catastrophe that has been UK energy policy one wonders just how much of a buffoon he really was. I would imagine that if the UK still had 200 odd pits open (which was the case at the start of the strikes) rather than the 15 (which were all that remained after privatisation) then the UK would be enjoying a world lead in coal emmission sequestration, and be enjoying the benefits of high-value oil & gas reserves - instead of being in the current position where the lion's share of N Sea reserves have been sold for a pittance over the past 20 years....

Typical Boris - this is what I love about him. He clearly just wanted to rugby tackle the guy for sheer fun and to get some attention. It was a celeb match for charity after all

The Dean

And Boris is going to win - I have not the slightest doubt - so get used to him now........

shakh your bootie

Banksy, at least, is endorsing Ken.... Probably cuz he's miffed that Hackney B'rough council have been destroying his work......

Madam Medusa

ken is a disaster...i voted for him cos he used to be my minister's pair, and he would crack me up with some things he came out with...but there's no way i'd vote for him now...he employs cronies, has some odd alliances (george galloway) and surrounds himself, in the main, with a bunch of unimpressive people...

i love the quote from boris when being questioned about his sexuality and whether he had had gay sex said "well, not yet..."

MM, xx

shakh your bootie

Well, it may be time for a change..... The MoL job seems to be reserved for mavericks and buffoons who can't do too much harm...

zabone

reckon ken deserves a break - i like alot of ken's initatives - more buses and bus lanes, the congestion charge, oyster, winning the olympics..etc...

he knows what londoners need for ease of life in the big smoke imho....!!!!....

my vote for red ken !

Emerald_Eyes

Yes and lucky for him he's not going to have to deal with the transport chaos and financial mayhem resulting from the Olympics because it looks like he doesn't have a hope in hell of winning anyway. The beleagured transport system is already running well over capacity and even with the planned initiatives there is just no way that London can support that many people. Here speaks a person who travelled on the Northern Line for 5 years up until 5 months ago!!

jvr20

ah the northern line... I remember when the trains had wooden slatted floors!

Emerald_Eyes

I would take Sheikh Zayed traffic over peak time on the Northern Line anytime.
