Ken going could be a blessing in disguise ......

If anybody expects Boris to do a good job (this includes you RR) I would be amazed! It was a vote against rather than a vote for.

Having said that ..... when it does go tits up in London, I wonder how many will look back on the departure of "Red" Ken with sadness.

Gordon Brown however will probably be quite pleased with this one   aspect of the election. Not only does he get rid of one of his arch enemies, but he is replaced by a buffoon who will be all too easy to tag with "The Conservatives couldn't even run London, don't vote for them in the next election" mantra!

I have been known to be wrong ...... but I would put money on this one!
