Mayor of london ,
what did he achieve?he scrapped the congestion charge and introduced cycle lanes, he introduced larger buses.
two idiotic plans out of three
    Key measures show the congestion charge was a success: in 2006, Transport for London (TfL) reported that the charge reduced traffic by 15% and congestion – that is, the extra time a trip would take because of traffic – by 30%. This effect has continued to today.Mar 9, 2018

You give credit where it is not necessarily due. I doubt if these examples came from Johnson but from the people who actually run the city.

Johnson took the credit, as any Mayor would have done, but I seroiusly question whether the ideas where really his.

You forgot to mention that he shagged an attractive woman and, in return, visited loads of financial favours on her at taxpayers' expense. Go on, sue me, Bozo.

But compared to Corbyn Boris will always be a saint.

why will he be a saint?, what a peculiar statement, what has he achieved,
Corbyn meanwhile has been a back bench mp since 1983, so his constituents have been happy to elect him for 36years, that is considerably longer than johnson.
he has more political experience, and has not been involved in allegations of financial impropriety, or sexual impropriety.

Boris is trying to carry out the sovereign will of the British people.
Corbyn is doing everything in his power to frustrate it.
That makes Boris a saint and Corbyn a treacherous sinner. The majority that voted for brexit agree with me.
Boris represents Democracy
Corbyn represent fascism by denying the people their right to a free and fair election.

Raggy you may have gone to Hogwarts and be well schooled in mathermagic
but of the electorate who voted more voted for out than in.
Do the maths!
You and your fellow remainer facile arguments about numbers either betray a shocking lack of numeracy or a lack of any kind of logical counter argument.
NO matter how creative you are with numbers mine will always be bigger than yours.

Your machinations are:
destroying Democracy,
destroying the constitution,
destroying the separation of powers of the three arms of government
May well rip apart the fabric of society

Be very careful what you wish for. Hosea 8:7

Corbyn if elected is offering the electorate this The Labour Party conference yesterday agreed a policy on Brexit that would see a future Labour government negotiating a new deal with the EU, which would then be put to the country in a referendum against the option of Remain.
a choice between a deal or remain that is democratic it is not not behaving like a fascist

Going on the initial post to this discussion:
Mayor of london ,

two idiotic plans out of three
    Key measures show the congestion charge was a success: in 2006, Transport for London (TfL) reported that the charge reduced traffic by 15% and congestion – that is, the extra time a trip would take because of traffic – by 30%. This effect has continued to today.Mar 9, 2018

If Boris 'scrapped the congestion charge', why are drivers still paying it?


If this one (of three) claims is false, what of the others?

But he shagged a very attractive woman ( to him) and showered a ton of taxpayers' money on her, Nigel, in return. He can't and won't deny this. I challenge hm to sue me. Never mind congestion bloody doodah. He's corrupt. Yes, absolutely I know how you'll come back on this, where's your friggin' evidence, etc. But he did it, you know he did it, I know he did it, he knows he did it and we all know he did it. He's your man, Nigel. You happy with that?

"what did he achieve? he scrapped the congestion charge and introduced cycle lanes, he introduced larger buses."
Having had to face the traffic jams of London traffic for over ten years and spending more time on the road than actually working - that's an achievement Dick !!!!
London jams were largely caused by cars with only one occupant - the driver
I don't believe you ever lic=ved in London - maybe I'm wrong
cycle lanes - unfortunately, added to the problem - as a lifelong cyclist, I learned very quickly and at great risk that London was no place for a bike
The necessary 'affordable/free transport solution was avouded as revolution by Boris and his ilk - instead of easing London's traffic problems the Johnsons of this world opted for profiting by it - as is their wont
The only people to benefit from Johnson's stint as mayor was a randy pole dancer, it seems

Nice to see that the extremism in rhese discussions is bein given with biblical quotes - pretty reasonable running mates I would say


The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered.” O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don’t give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, “All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children.” (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)

Pretty clear wanting to all who would oppose the word of the Fuehrer Johnson, I would say

This won't end up well if left out in the wild. All of the usual suspects are here.

Don't start another Johnson thread, please.
