Thread Name: BS: The London Mayor Election
Subject: RE: BS: The London Mayor Election
As long as you view these polititions with complete and utter scepticism, then they'll not diappoint you will they?
As the Consevative party helped Boris Johnson launch his campaign today I watched Ken Livingstone on the BBC news say, when asked about Boris "A party that's frightened of its own candidate being off the leash is a candidate you'd not necessarily want running London".
Has Ken forgotten that when he was running for the same office, his party KNEW he was "off the leash" and tried everything in their power to stop him. Personally I don't care who gets to be Lord Mayor, but I do object to being treated like an idiot with a memory the length of a Goldfish!
Of course, once he'd been elected he was welcomed back into the Labour Party bed with open arms, or so it was made to appear.
