Re: Back our Ken today! (#1)

Sorry guys, couldn't quite bring myself to vote for Ken.  It was rather exciting and liberating putting a cross next to Boris Johnson's name.  May the best man win!

Re: Back our Ken today! (#3)

"May the best man win!" 

Indeed!

I can say, Prbo, based on previous comments most of us arrived at the expectation that your particular vote wouldn't be going Labour's way ;-)

Really hoping for a Ken win. Any failure for Lynton Crosby is good for mankind.

In the words of Kevin Keegan:

"I would love it. I would love it if we beat them!!"

Re: Back our Ken today! (#4)

Applaud the sentiment but not sure we want to invoke that particular episode, as I recall it did not end in anything but ridicule for its protagonist?!

Ken apparently thinks it'll be him by six. We will see. Fingers crossed.

With any luck this awful Mayor will be out of Londoners' lives forever very soon.

Spending money gained form some of the poorest people in the country to pay for his mates to swan all over the world. Then to cover up and lie about it repeatedly, "there is an audit trail and every penny is accounted for".

You people should be ashamed.

Will Ken blow a whole heap of money on a big party for all his mates again, like he did last time he was kicked out of London's coffers?

Re: Back our Ken today! (#5)

I really, really hope Ken wins today - he's been an outstanding Mayor for London and my faith in democracy will be shattered if that idiotic inbred Johnson wins.

However, most of the predictions I've seen are betting on a Johnson victory and to be honest, I think that's true. It'll be comparable to when Bush got re-elected in 2004.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#6)

idiotic inbred Johnson

NM, I know you love to be colourful, but this really is low.  Insults like this don't do anyone any favours.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#10)

You're quite right. Bumbling buffoon would be a far better description.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#7)

Obviously I'm hoping for Ken to be back, hopefully with a degree of comfort.

But just a crum of comfort for my comrades if the worst happens (this is only really a comfort to comrades who don't live in London...) - 2 years of Boris being the most powerful and high-profile Tory in the UK would mean the Tories haven't a hope at the next general election!

Re: Back our Ken today! (#8)

Negative with personal attacks, while being ha ha funny.  I'm afraid that video was a bit too Boris Johnson/Hillary Clinton for my taste.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#9)

I do not live in London so am spared having a mayor who supports suicide bombers,  who gets £1.2Billion in revenues from the congestion charge and wastes them all on running costs .. and lets his freinds and associates waste money.

I expect many wasteful enterprises will be cut off from funding to screams of indignation and London will have a little mor money to spend on worthwile projects.

If a Conservative mayour behaved as Ken has done, ypu would rightly be calling for his removeal from office.

The Labour Party used to be full of high aims and ideals,: now it full of Brown and his incompetents and Ken and his corruption..

Never mind, a long spell in opposition helps to clear the mind.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#13)

"I do not live in London"

Well, that much is incontrovertible.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#11)

This thing about the congestion charge has been driving me nuts all week.

It's been proven to work, it is being copied by other cities in the Uk and other major cities in the world.  None of the other major candidates is going to scrap it and none of the people that have moaned about it to me have ever needed to pay it 'cos they commute by bus/train - why? because you'd need a mortgage to park in London (and it's been like that for at least 20 years).

The world is full of bl**dy parrots!

Re: Back our Ken today! (#12)

The world is full of parrots..
And they all vote Labour.

Re: Back our Ken today! (#15)

The thought of over one million people putting an X in the box next to where it says "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson" without bursting out in laughter, quite frankly scares me.

The fact that a man like him won, and that the BNP got a seat, shows that London certainly isn't the city it used to be.
