He works with all sections of the community? Dear me, how terrible. What do you mean he doesn't represent "normal white working class people" I don't remember the 80s too well but I blame the dissolution of the GLC on that evil bitch Thatcher, seeing as I know of her work elsewhere! Fair play but it's a decent building. No, I'm not saying it's okay - though I don't believe he has been racist, do remind me... what I am saying is I can understand him lashing out... because it's an instinctive response when people push you too far. You've not answered the point that Boris has NOTHING to offer and would do nothing but harm London both in terms of global image and in terms of policy. What's so great about Boris?! Working with minorities is fine, so long as ordinary people are not ignored, however this is what he does! So what if it's a decent building, theres plenty of empty prime location in London, which belongs to the local authorities - utter waste of money! I've yet to see Boris's manifesto, but given a choice I would rather have him in power than some far left egomaniac - he seems more interested in causing upset than actual good. FFS he was expelled from the labour party

just get someone to make the tube better and the beer cheaper, for us visiting northern football fans.... Boris won't make the tube better, he'll tell you all to take Taxis!

Anyone has to be better than Livingstone - I hate the bloke with a passion.
Boris would certainly be interesting but I would wait to see what his policies etc are first.

My point exactly, Livingstone has ahd his time and failed. Hopefully someone will come in, however given the choice - I'll vote Boris

FFS he was expelled from the labour party do you think Boris will be good with "ordinary people" I imagine he'll be just as appalled with Bermondsey (if he's ever been there, I doubt it) as he is conceptually with Liverpool or Portsmouth! ah well, I'm sorry but I just can't get too wound up about that... I appreciate the architectural/engineering achievement. If Ken acted as a "far left egomaniac" would he have signed up to that PFI scheme for the underground? of course not, on principle! He's not interested in causing upset, you're confusing him with the media now! He should never have been expelled from the Labour Party. But I have my issues with the Labour Party as you know, difference is I care about it, where as most just want it out!

Well I have always liked Ken, him being my dads direct boss at the old GLC and him being a friend of the family now.
Boris would also be quite good, a bumbling fool to some but also one who seems to be quite 'real' and I think a good listener of the people. Also he is my dads local MP and also a friend of the family ;D
