plekhanov Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Both of them are pretty contemptible but for me at least Ken impressively manages to be even more loathsome than Boris. A hypocritical money grubbing tax dodging "red", disturbingly prone to making worrying comments about Jewish people & seemingly following Galloway's lead in trying to introduce sectarian politics to the mainland. The sooner he crawls off back to Ahmadinejad's propaganda channel the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Web Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Why? They're probably both bent and hypocritical but the reason why the blonde bombshell was always going to win is becuase Boris may act like a boffon but he has charisma and more personality which is what Londoners prefer to see on their Tele.

He has moved on from his pro IRA comments to anti Jewish ones. It was a close call but I’m glad “Red Ken” lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrangaroo Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Charisma counts for a lot in all walks of life and I guess if one of your tasks is to attract interest and money into a city it's a useful attribute. Perhaps Sheffield could benefit more from the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 One person who will be happy is Cameron. His only rival is now tied up for a few years in a non job, and will not challenge him, or so it seems. Do not be fooled by Johnsons silly public persona, the man is a wily, cute swine. He would eat Cameron for breakfast, and as for Milliband, well... His problem, as we have seen in London, is getting people to accept him as a real politician, his silly behaviour puts many off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky_Gibbon Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The Mad Turk won, ok good for him, but will it really make a difference to us up in sheffield? Not in the slightest although I have seen some people trying to spin the result as if it were the only important one to happen yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The Mad Turk won, ok good for him, but will it really make a difference to us up in sheffield? Nope, London is the epicentre of everything good, bad or indifferent. We have enough of the Labour party in Sheffield still commiting use to pay for the Student Games which is an open ended expense. Put up the rents for the labour tenants to pay for it all and they might vote Tory but have any hope. We are due for hard labour for years unless you are on benefits, labour again.

Patriot Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Boris won because he is more trustworty than Livingstone. Milliband would not commit any Labour party resources to help Red Ken knowing he was the wrong choice for a party trying desperately to regain support from the British electorate. Livingstone is an old school socialist and his policies and views are a long way from millionaire Milliband's vision for Labour. Boris kept his promises without raising council tax or business rates and making London attractive to both investors and residents. Socialists always run out of other peoples money to spend.
