Boris admits bendy-buses are safe - but he'll axe them anyway

The people of London didn't want Boris as their mayor. The people of various unsavoury outposts that the Tories gerrymandered into Greater London in the first place to end Labour's dominance of the County of London wanted Boris as their mayor; the people of actual London voted for Ken. Speak for yourself. I live in a london borough and I voted for Boris. I want someone who represents me - a white middle class male - not some borderline corrupt closet commie who's only interested in right- on minority causes. But (assuming you mean an Inner London, ex-county-of-London borough) you're in a minority - Ken won the majority of votes in Inner London and lost because of the strong Tory contingent in places like Bromley. Did you somehow fail to notice that - like the vast majority of politicians - Ken is, err, a white middle-class male? And I wouldn't personally class the massive focus on transport improvement that was the primary characteristic Ken's time in power (both in the 1980s and the 2000s) as a right-on minority cause. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
