Reasons to vote for Ken in London


Sure, it may be a PR stunt to show the Mayor of London using the same transport as the rest of us without any apparent bodyguards, minders, PR flunkies or anything else ... but I've yet to see pics of Boris or Paddick or even Sian Berry of the Green Party using the Tube.



Then again, I distinctly remember reading a quote from The London Paper (24 April, page 11) where she claimed that four people taking a taxi was "as energy efficient as a two-thirds empty bus". That may be true, but buses still have to run so surely it's still a net carbon increase?



Oh yes, that's not to forget the cheerleaders hovering outside the workplace the other day exhorting us to vote for K-E-N...

Hee hee. I do love how when he was in parliment he was so vilified and yet really, I don't think he's done a terrible job with London. I'd like to see him kept on as Mayor.

I thought he was standing down. If so, I still think it would be a giggle to see Boris stick his foot in it every other day as Lord Mayer.

Of course, as the Enigma points out...Ken Livingston will stand down, when he's six feet under--and not before.

ROFL.

He's right of course.

Now..if only it didn't take fricken FOREVER to get Private eye shipped over here!
