Following places need removing from London: Havering & Redbridge, Bexley & Bromley, Croydon & Sutton and Ealing & Hillingdon. Not only did they vote heavily for Boris, they also gave the BNP more votes than the Green candidate. It's not like half of them are really in London anyway...
It's that sort of of elitist attitude towards the voters and taxpayers of Outer London that cost Ken his job.
Of course I realize you're just stealing a page out of the Rethuglican book there.
It's not right to do what JFK is doing, of course... but "elitist" is not an applicable term.
No of course it's not right and I recognise that, I am just annoyed that I am stuck with a bumbling opportunist as mayor (not to mention the high totals the BNP/National Front received in the boroughs I listed). The problem is not that he's a Conservative, it is that he is someone with little experience or knowledge of London who seems to draw policies out of a hat (though I'll be interested to see what these 'boundaries' he wants to introduce for kids to stop them getting 'lost' are). That's the big contrast for me: Ken Livingstone has lived his whole life in London, he knows it better and has a much closer affinity for the city than Boris Johnson does or ever will.
Anyway, afleitch, I think disabled people and first time property buyers have more to be sad about than Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
