Ken is an awful man who is a proven racist panders to minorities in order to gain favour and does not understand his electorate. He insults London by having an extremists to run his campaign!

I'll laugh and laugh if the people of London elect Boris ...... a man identified by his own campaign team as being the biggest hinderance to his own election campaign!! It'll be right up there with the Americans electing Bush!! ;D

Boris has no merits, because he's a clueless, incompetent, bungling, upper-class twit! PLUS he's a Tory! I think you will find large numbers of the people of London disagree with you regarding Ken's merits! However hopefully if Bozo wins I will not have to endure the full horror of seeing him run ruin London, by applying for various jobs in "the provinces"

How you can back Ken is beyond me, a career politician - who's only merit is public transport! historic squader of money, is a career politician and has proven he does not give a fuck about his electorate. Boris has charm, and at the very least will be able to hold concil without insulting anyone who disagrees with him. I mean how many more high court writs are we going to pay? How many more dodgy deals are we going to have to pick upi the peaces for!

I'm not even a resident of London so don't even get to vote. The biggest plus about Boris for you Hurls, would seem to be that he's not Ken Livingston .......... however he is Boris Johnston who is in fact an idiot!! This is going to be soooooooo funny!! ;D

Boris has charm, and at the very least will be able to hold concil without insulting anyone who disagrees with him. Okay Hurls, so what you're saying is that Ken's only merits are that he knows how to run and improve an integrated public transport system in one of the world's larger cities. While Boris... has charm ;D You do make me laugh sometimes!!!

However Wales does not call itself independent, it has however successfully argued for a degree of autonomy which has benefited the "region" - I use inverted commas as this is the term used, regional assemblies were proposed elsewhere, for example the North-East and these were turned down at popular referenda. You would have to ask the NE why they did not want autonomy, however I suppose it is obvious that they did not see the benefits of it!

Boris says ......... On China Chinese cultural influence is virtually nil, and unlikely to increase… Indeed, high Chinese culture and art are almost all imitative of western forms: Chinese concert pianists are technically brilliant, but brilliant at Schubert and Rachmaninov. Chinese ballerinas dance to the scores of Diaghilev. The number of Chinese Nobel prizes won on home turf is zero, although there are of course legions of bright Chinese trying to escape to Stanford and Caltech… It is hard to think of a single Chinese sport at the Olympics, compared with umpteen invented by Britain, including ping-pong, I’ll have you know, which originated at upper-class dinner tables and was first called whiff-whaff. The Chinese have a script so fiendishly complicated that they cannot produce a proper keyboard for it.On AfricaThe problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more... Consider Uganda, pearl of Africa, as an example of the British record. ... the British planted coffee and cotton and tobacco, and they were broadly right... If left to their own devices, the natives would rely on nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain. You never saw a place so abounding in bananas: great green barrel-sized bunches, off to be turned into matooke. Though this dish (basically fried banana) was greatly relished by Idi Amin, the colonists correctly saw that the export market was limited... The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.On Road LawsNo one obeys the speed limit except a motorised rickshawOn TelevisionI don't see why people are so snooty about Channel 5. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap dancing, and other related and vital subjects.A2V says ......... good luck to the people of London!!

But you see you want independence, so why not go the full hog. That way my tax payers money wouldn't be wasted on ungrateful Welsh racists

Oh, yes that's right, I had never heard of London before I came to live here! I was rather young when the GLC was in difficulties, however I am aware that he got in a brawl with Thatcher, and it was she who fucked it up - deliberately and callously, as she did all others who opposed her!
