So, why does Ken suddenly want to do this after eight years of running London pretty successfully? Is he in the control of some weird purple lizards who always wait eight years before putting their fiendish plans into operation? I voted for Ken twice, and if I still lived in London I'd vote for him again.
And I don't thing the Oympics was entirely Ken's fault - I seem to recall Seb Coe having a lot to do with it, and he's a Tory.
