Default Mayor Sadiq

It's all over bar the declaration.

Congratulations from me, if not from others here on this random and
dusty crevice of the internet! Greens doing well too.

We await the results of the London Assembly elections.

I'm very glad Zac's nasty campaign blew right up in his face. Apparently
Lynton Crosby had no involvement in it, which if anything makes Zac look
even worse. Two tweets relating to that...

Dave Hill of the Guardian:
https://twitter.com/DaveHill/status/728619646224637952
"If you've yet to hear it, best quote on Zac campaign from senior London
Tory: 'A dog whistle in a city with no dogs.' "

Jim Waterson, political editor of BuzzFeed UK:
https://twitter.com/jimwaterson/status/728617840778088448
"Any London Conservatives who *do* want to defend Zac Goldsmith's
campaign? City Hall just full of Tories saying they're disgusted with him."


OK, guess I should think about the future ramifications for transport!

Also today - Boris (still Mayor until Sunday midnight I think)
officially opened the segregated east-west cycle superhighway along the
Embankment from Big Ben to the Tower:

or via http://tinyurl.com/zvbwgyg

I'm no great fan of Boris, but it's possible proper segregated cycleways
(rather than just 'blue paint') might actually be his real legacy. I
trust Sadiq will push ahead with this programme.

It seems that Sadiq may be bringing in his old boss, Andrew Adonis, to
oversee transport. Not sure how that squares with his national
infrastructure role.

But, yes, whoever is in charge of transport, I suspect that the cycleway
policy will continue. Presumably, with his background, Sadiq will be keen
on buses, but I suspect he won't be ordering any more Boris buses...

Thats the latest phrase of the month isn't it. I wonder how many people who
use it actually know what dog whistle politics is.

Indeed. Perhaps the former human rights parasite who's just been voted in
and used to sue the police for compensation for assorted scum, can ask some of
the people he used to share a platform with what the latest bomb making
techniques are and figure out how to defend the tube against them.

Historically the City of London was outwith any county. The current
GLA consists of large areas of annexed from neighboring counties. Had
the historic county structure remained those sections would be outside
Mr Khan's grip.

Shame on the people of the GLA for voting in this low-life.

Your mate David Furness got 13,325 votes - so there are a few more like
you in the city but thankfully too few to matter.
