London elections 2008

Boris is just the kind of personality London needs for Mayor, and good luck to him. He is as mad as a hatter and a light-hearted soul. However, I don't think he is a push-over. So fellow Londoners, don't think you have an idiot in control, because you might just get a shock. Good luck Boris.

Also woodford would love you to name the 5000 ethnic groups you qoute. seeing as there are only approx 195 countries on the whole planet approx (depending on your source) are you actually terrified about venusian or martains coming here purely to use the NHS or claim benefits. By the way I am from no Minority background and as My family have been In england since Roman times at least are probabaly considerably more British than you are!!!

With regard to the fact that only 2 million people out of a total population of 8million bothered to vote, shows the apathy that is prevelant in 'urban Britain'....in my own election last year my ward had over 70% turn out and I achieved nearly 60& of the vote....I'am an Independent District Councillor....yesterday I was on a protest march with other rural residents to protest against a huge planned lorry park, and waste disposal plant...we had over 550 people on the march....I also note that a certain 'Simon Wooley' of Operation Black Vote is wingeing on about how so many Black, Asian, and other 'ethnic' groups are in dire poverty, I'am not sure if Wooley is black, but there about 5,000 'ethnic groups' waiting in Calais each night, to cross over the Channel and 'join' his supposedly 'poor and deprived groups' and many millions more in Africa, Asia, etc, etc,...may I suggest if they really want to experience poverty they emigrate to Zimbabwe, Malawi,Darfur..all run by Black Men, and he Wooley stops bleating on about how hard done by they are....

I agree with you Tony, but if the true brits want a government that works, they have to get on to them.

We'll soon see how Cameron and Co will fare any better if they get in next time.

We as a nation should not allow ourselelves to be conned, by whoever it is.

Whoever can tackle the fact that more money is coming out of less pockets, to feed an ever growing army of greedy often corrupt public employees, who can retire early whilst we pay for it the better. Is this possible I wonder,but I'm staying quiet no longer for one.

We've a s*** chief exec in Wales where I am from and I'm goint to be on his back like a ton of Bricks.

I've had enough of being conned by the Government.

Why does it take so long to count the votes for the London Mayor. We could have elected a new Prime Minister in less time......Now that's a thought why not go the whole way and have a complete Conservative line up in London. Come on Gordon time to move on
