I got a letter from that bent cunt Johnson asking me to register for a postal vote.

meh. on the one hand, that bent Tory cunt Johnson
on the other, slimy wifebeating serial liar and trot cunt Livingston.

I'm amazed anyone in London can degrade themselves enough to vote for either, really.

The sole redeeming feature people seem to find in Boris, poltically I mean
is that he "isn't really as much of a buffoon as he appears"

Only given the current witless state of fucking humanity could that be considered an actual reason to give someone control of London. It's like appointing a childminder on the ground that "they haven't actually raped as many children as it looks like"

And the really scary thing is that he is actually that much of a buffoon
it's just since he got into office he has refused to discuss anything he does other than at carefully arranged press releases. He never takes questions or engages in debate, because when he does, he comes across as a witless tosser.

And yet, if you held a gun to my wife's head and actually forced me to make decision
I'd still probably take him. He's a twat, and Tory twat at that.

But Livingston is actually a genuinely nasty piece of work.

He may be, but so is Boris. Which is why the whole mayoral system is pretty fucking ridiculous as it's coming down to personality over what they are actually doing.

Neither of them are in any way suitable to run a global economic centre.

Yeah but isn't this true of all politics
I know you're supposed to vote for the party and for the ideals and manifesto etc, but look at what happened when Gordon Brown became the leader of the Labour party.

Boris is great.
1) wiff waff speech
2) getting rid of tube drivers
3) wrote a great book on Ancient Rome

VOTE WINNERS, ALL.

This is the problem when you try and do it on personality
but given that Johnson's record is of massive overspends on every project he's been involved in and no new ideas during his term, voting for Ken at least puts someone with ideas in office.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaa
*dies fucking laughing*

Ahem, overspends? GLC in the eighties? yeah. Ken's solid fucking economic gold, mate.

Greater London Council.
How London used to be run before it collapesed in massive overspend, very obvious fraud and Livingston and others being incredibly lucky to avoid arrest and prosecution

The two achievements he talks about are the bikes and the new routemaster.
Both were massively more expensive than claimed, and with the buses, they were a fucking pointless vanity project instead of just improving an existing bus design.

not arguing for a single second with you on that.
The idea that a man who masterminded the epic financial fraud/clusterfuck that was the GLC would be better, however, is the best bit of comedy I've heard in AGES. Thanks ;)
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 2 May 2012, 11:44, Reply)

But he was better. His record in office is better than Boris'.
Under Boris fares have actually risen above inflation, under Kens they stayed about the same as inflation.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 2 May 2012, 11:47, Reply)

That has absolutely cock all to do with mayoral policy I suspect
and everything to do with the state of the economy and investment in projects.

I'm not defending Boris. I just think it's funny that anyone can defend Ken on economic or financial management grounds
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 2 May 2012, 11:53, Reply)

You might just as well argue
that while Boris overspends, at least he hasn't been repeatedly and very obviously guilty of massive levels of fraud and cover-ups.

I don't really care about personality. They are both very obviously fucking awful and shouldn't be in charge of a lemonade stall let alone the capital.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 2 May 2012, 11:43, Reply)

Which fraud and cover ups?

(Bazongaloid, Wed 2 May 2012, 11:45, Reply)

He's been tarred with several throughout his career
The Jasper stuff, coupld of overseas deals when he was mayor, plus all the money GLC lost.
