As a confirmed conservative I was very upset to hear of the mayor’s involvement in the resignation of Sir Ian Blair.
Our chief police officer is politically independent or he is not.
Then I think of the desalinization plant that got the go ahead the day after Boris was elected (do we really need more water?), the South London Tram that seem’s to have been put on the back burner the bendy buses that will stay for 10 years or more and the congestion charge that seems to be and be and be, Oh no, we are going to have discussions on wether we should enlarge it or not.Methinks Boris is not really in charge of anything.

What is needed is a modern Shakespeare to write about the Brown Tragedy. Overweening pride in his ability combined with genuine incompetence. I do think there might be a good line in selling distressed Gordon Brown Teddies to gullible tourists in Oxford street. Sarah Palin as Wonderwoman? I have penned a line if anyone would care to embellish it.
“Methinks ’tis more a tragedy than fair governance”.

Gordon bROWN: a man having been deserted by a coward when the going was gonna get tough. A man who couldn’t have been more unlucky. If my manager deserted me in a situation like that I would make sure they’d regret doing that. And why are we still paying for Mr Blair being guarded by police? Why can’t he afford his own bodyguard, like, someone private?

I really have to say thanks very much, because they were talking about this very subject in my politics class today and I was the only one who understood it due to reading Boris’s brilliant wee article prior. I never knew he could be so educational and informative. I’ll ring you up next time I have homework trouble lmao.

Have some pity for Gordon. This is not all of his making, just a lot of it.
The old adage says You can fool some of the people all of the time. You can fool most of the people some of the time. But you can’t fool all the people all of the time.
ADD to that You need to fool enough of the people enough of the time. When the time is up, exit stage left in a lively manner and if possible leave a luckless lad there to distract the audience.
Sorry, Gordon, you have been had by a master.

Boris, what is your weight in kilograms? Did you know that the original ideas for metric came from an English bishop? Stones come from ancient Babylon.

It also sounds so old-fashioned to use stones for weight, and as I have never used stones, nor been taught about stones (I am 41 and lived in the UK all my life), I cannot comprehend what 15 stones means, other than a collection of small pebbles on the ground.

Helena, they WOULD be better than Labour in helping the less well off, because Gordon Brown has shown what an utter sham any Labour aspirations are in that direction. He may care to a point, but it all takes second to his personal aspirations.

A male friend of mine was talking about why most of the country are so resentful and have so little sympathy for the drubbing Gordon Brown is getting at the moment. He thinks that people sense that democracy has been abused – Gordon was foisted on us without an election, and if we had known the full facts of what he was really like, as we do now, nobody would have wanted him in in a month of Sundays.

If the Labour Party dare to do that again, and foist someone else on us without an immediate election, there will be even more resentment and, he thinks, Labour will be finished as a political party for decades. David Miliband take note.

Well, spot the elephant in the room. Even Michael Heseltine almost exploded with exasperation on some TV show when trying to make the point to a Labour representative about “ordinary people” being far worse off now (or something to that effect).

Do you know, I sometimes think that the Tories would be better at helping the less well-off than Labour at the moment… But then I say to myself – “Control yourself. Don’t give way to these flights of fancy. They haven’t done you any good before, and they certainly won’t do now…”

But yes, a fairer taxing system would be a step forward, I imagine.
