london mayor
 

ken or boris? or the other one who doesnt really stand a chance?

what is this lon - don that you speak of?

its a small town in the south of ingerland

Londinium faces a bit of a doomed-either-way scenario when choosing between Red Ken and Bumbling Boris. I honestly couldn't endorse either - Ken is clearly a man more keen to settle old scores with the Labour party than do anything that average Londoners want, while Boris, bless him, doesn't seem to have a political idea to his name.

I think it's gonna go to Boris, which should make for some interesting headlines, but I can see chaos when ever he's called to actually do anything beyond look cuddly, in that public schoolboy, spankings-from-matron kind of a way.

i have to agree. boris really doesnt seem to know what day it is let alone run a city as diverse a london. what was it he said about liverpool again?

didn't Boris doodle on his application form? Boris for PM, i say

He called them whingers and then had to go up there and apologise. Which is probably why he has a strange cult following in Manchester. Citing him has the one man bold enough to tell the truth about Liverpudlians. And for that reason alone, I do have a nagging hope that Boris wins. Saying that, if he's in charge and the Taliban decide to drop some suicide bombers into the tube, we're totally fucked. The guy wouldn't know a terrorist from a teddy bear.

thats the thing, for comedy value he is priceless but for a crisis as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

As prospective drinking partners, Boris wins everytime. It's the choice between a night of Bloody Marys and cigars in a gentlemans club in Mayfair or some freshly squeezed mango juice in a community centre in Tottenham.

Boris the hit-man Johnson!

Go Boris ... Go Boris ... Go Boris!

Boris - Motherfucking - JOHNSON!

What do you mean? I AM smiling!

Fuck Boris Johnson with half a rusty iron fencepost.

That cult following I mentioned earlier, clearly didn't reach as far as Newcastle.

You'll be banished to the hell of drinking phlegm if you don't apologise for that. :mad:

Caaalm down, Caaaaaalm down, caaaaaalm down.

I think most Tory voters vote for them purely because of Boris.

Amy Winehouse or Pete Doherty come across as being more competent than Boris Johnson. Ken Livingstone is by no means someone you'd trust your daughter with, but at least he seems more on the ball. I bet Boris Johnson will win just because he'd bring a different face in.

Boris is an idiot. Ken is alright.. sometimes.

I voted for Sian Berry because she's the prettiest.

Is it to do with the name Boris?

I went and voted last night. My mayoral candidate has no chance of getting in, but I'm glad that I voted for my person as opposed to the Ken 'n' Boris show. I think that Boris will win, which will be, ahem, interesting to experience.

how long is a term?

jon boy - the term is 4 years - Ken Livingstone's been in for 2 terms = 8 years.

any terrorists planning an attack are probably praying for boris.

Only a couple of more hours before the result is announced, and it looks as if Boris has got it in the bag.

Boris has great hair

thats my only comment.

hahaha

the worst thing is boris will have to act like hes too busy to do Have i got news for you, which will be anything but the case. im sure he'll be a shit mayor but we'll get some great quotes out of him. living up north none of this shit will affect me obviously other than what happens on telly

The votes are still being counted, over 80% done now, its now to fair to say Boris has a pretty strong lead over Ken. Results are announced some time this evening. God help us all.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boris once cycled past me in London. FACT.

serves ya right!

I once cycled past Boris on Whitehall. He was jabbering away on his mobile phone whilst on his fact. BOJOFACT.

haha, did you just watch Have I Got News For You?

I did, with BRIAN BLESSED! What a mentalist, eh? :D

Current first preference votes give Boris a lead of nearly 100,000 votes....

Yeah mentalist. I was watching it and was wondering what it would be like to be one his children or his wife. Pretty oppressive I would imagine, would you ever get a chance to talk?

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!! He's a fucking idiot! Who the hell is voting for him?!! I really can't imagine Londoners voting for him.

The result should be known now.

You know who voted for Boris? Its the ignorant who think the Evening Standard is the gospel and havent bothered to turn over from the back page until they knew that funny man from Have I Got News For You was on the ballot paper.

Its so ironic the way that Gordon Brown (the most serious and mirthless polititian in the universe) is being chastised whilst everyone is happy to love Boris for being a good laugh. Its the same thing that got George Bush elected and its fucking disturbing.
