Another lying pig who's had a good long taste of the trough and will do anything to keep his snout buried in it.

im sure he has lied about far worse things than how long he intends to stay in office

with something like that, people would change their minds once they are doing the job anyway

mister james, how long will you stay in your job ? (once you say, you are not allowed to change your mind in the future)

He could be right about incumbents digging in though, and maybe thats what he now intends to do

I just hope he remembers to try to route out some of the corruption that he thinks would be rife under a long serving mayor.

He pledged not to run as an independent if he didnt get the labour nomination to be mayor, and of course he did.

He doesn't like bendy-buses, Muslim fundamentalists, London being linked with bizzare left-wing South American governments, or those annoying "Red Ken is spending your money much better than you ever would" posters on public transport.

He does like motorcycles using bus lanes. For that alone I'd vote for him.

Boris is brilliant. he puts his foot in it so many times that it can only be honesty. He appeards to be a genuin guy. His father was the same. His heart is in the right place and he can laugh at himself and lets others laugh at him without recourse.
As for Ken "the drunk" Livingstone. a rabid dog in wolves clothing.

So, and finally... Boris it is then. I wasn't about to stay up last night to find out the result, it's pleasing though, about as pleasing as such a thing could be anyway. He was rather generous to Ken, but I suppose thats just the way these people operate

One bad point, Boris is my local MP, so I assume we are going to have to elect some other muppet for Henley then?

Yeah - I doubt they'll be as colourful as Bozza - but I'm sure he'll still pop by from time to time!

I honestly think he'll be a breath of fresh air - and he'll have the full backing of the Tories, because this is their big chance to show that they actually stand a chance of being a half-decent government.

Anything will be an improvement on Old New Labour - and even if Boris or the Tories turn out to be an utter disaster, it was worth it to see Labour crushed this week - the arrogant shites.

I'm quite a fan of Boris Johnson.

However overall I am just chuffed to bits that Labour are on the brink of falling apart, which in my mind is living proof that even limited democracy can destroy the most oppressive government's.

However, we will soon see what Labour want cause traditionally we should be having a general election next May, but I am 75% sure Brown will go for a May 2010 election. Or propose an emergency decree Hitler style and impose a dictatorship on the United States of Britain.

I'm not overly fanatical about the Tories having the upper hand cause to be honest I don't think they will be any better than Labour. But I think Boris Johnson will be good for London.

Well, that lasted a few days then..

I understand why he has done it, because there is a lot of anti social behaviour goes with it, but essentially its daft and unenforceable.

Just my opinion of course, because I like the freedom to drink in transit, but his first policy sucks.

Well, Boris must be good as he has the best Surname ever!

And yes, the bumbling idiot thing is a bit of an act, and he is very intelligent and astute. He uses the 'bumbling idiot' thing to keep his opponents on the back foot IMO.
