God have mercy upon us all, Boris Johnson has been elected as Mayor of London.
Well don't blame me. You can't blame the people who live near me either. I've been out campaigning this last week or so and in our own constituency of Lambeth & Southwark, we returned Val Shawcross (our existing Labour GLA member) with a healthy majority and in the Mayoral election, Ken received twice as many votes as Boris. So, I'm sad to be in London, but proud to be in the constituency of Lambeth & Southwark!
Back to the mayor thing though. Four years ago, the Tory candidate was Steve Norris. Now, even though he's a Tory, I could have lived with the idea of him as Mayor of London. He came across as a decent sort of bloke and, even as Minister for London in John Major's government, was dedicated to decent public transport and affordable housing. HE at least seemed to understand London.
But now we have Boris.
Boris!!!
We've all seen him on "Have I Got News For You". He comes across as a fun sort of guy doesn't he?
Well, I've Got News For You! This bloke is a stupid, fat, ignorant, racist bigot. Not that I'm biased of course!
This is someone who refers to black children as "Picaninnies". Who seems to openly despise the workinhg classes. My God, we've gone back to the Thatcher years of the 80s!
So, Boris is now in caharge of the greatest city in the world.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
