Congratulations London

You've elected this:






Let the planning for the strikes begin.

Do as favour though when the shit hits the fan don't rant here about it.

Watch this and listen to Boris make his speech at the end.

When is the next round of pay talks?

I notice the article is written by a , "Right on" Guardian journo, who'd hate 'ol Boris for no other reason than he is an Old Etonian. No mention of Ken glad handing every minority group, with piles of cash or even worse, grants being made and then all the money simply disappearing.

I think Boris was elected, together with Labour's countrywide collapse, as a reaction by the middle group of society. Basically the government has cherished, the people on benefit, underprivileged, minorities of all kinds, which is fine except they've done this while fucking over the rest of us.

If you are in, "The system" ie, work, pay tax, drive a car and own a house, you are merely a cash cow to be fleeced and snooped on. This is why people have dumped Labour, I think they wouldn't care if it was Boris or Robert Mugabe, they just don't want Labour..

With any luck you will be wrong about Boris. I think that maybe his buffoonery will allow him to think, "Out of the box" of a typical, slimy, Tory. Some Toffs of old were quite philanthropic. I think the fact that the other Tories hate him, is a good thing, because it means he's a wild card, he wont necessarily tow the Tory line.

It's funny, because a Labour MP, said yesterday, "We need to do more for the poor". I nearly flung my pasty at the TV set as I shouted, "The poor don't bother to vote ya stupid sod, you're doing enough for the fucking poor already, it's the rest of us who are getting screwed!"
