Just listening to Radio 4- saying Boris has had no experience of running a big organisation and it depends who's on his team how it works out. :o As you say, glad I don't live in London!I certainly wouldn't have voted for him.

Come the Revolution we will all be equal ;D ;D

At the last elections for the London mayor 'Steve Norris was the Tory candidate, not that I give a toss about what goe's on in London but he did want to get rid of the congestion charge if he was elected, since then you have the 'Emission Zone's', I hope Boris doe's the right thing and kick's them both out :)

[silly billy]

After experience on other forums I have made it a rule now not to get involved in certain subjects.
Politics being one of them.
But what I will say is after being a labour voter since the age of 18 and a party member for 20.
I have resigned my membership  last month and joined the green party.
I could never ever vote Torie and have seen to much of what the lib dems are like running Liverpool for the last 10 years.
They actually lost a few seats to labour here and the council was in a position of no over all control.
But in a move that Robert Mugabe would have been proud of the lib dems took control of the city again.

Hooray! At last we've god rid of the hateful, corrupt, and wasteful Livingstone.

Ever since Tolmers Square he's been on the take.

Boris will assemble a good and honest team and maybe we'll start to see a little return on our grossly high local taxes.

[Gazfoz]

No, you will just get a load of nuts and be happy with it for a short while

[Gazfoz]

when I said nuts I meant SH1T

Kind of a fuuny post, if we think about it, how many politicians are honest? 99% of the Labour party have been caught taking bungs, they may go into the job being honest but I don't think many come out the same infact the last politician that can say they went into the job honest and came out honest is Mrs T, love her or hate her that is a fact.

[betula]

Not the T word Mick :'(

I'm sad like that, I was only 11 when she came to power but I loved that she was a strong woman with lots of grit and determination (as is my Mrs) I know about the poll tax thing but that aside she did a bloody good job.

[betula]

I can not remember anything she did as a good job.

As a woman I was very disappointed to put it mildly.

She was our first Female Prime Minister and she let us down big time.

My father detested her and I was so sad that he died just a few weeks before she lost power.There would have been a big party in our house if my dad lived to see that moment. :)

Hang on a moment, aren't all parties the same though.... same teams but different shirts kind of thing.

They'll tax us to the hilt now while nagging us to save for the future, demand local councils build on green fields, conduct illegal wars at Bush's behest, dish out our paid for healthcare to 'health tourists' and all the other things that make Britain great. All the while feeding their little faces at the same trough.

Hangings too good.

Presume you mean the lady making the tea

[sheddie]

Didn't Maggie come out with the infamous phrase to defend herself that she wasn't lying but 'being economical with the truth'?!....

Sorry, but she took my milk when I was a kid - Thatcher the milk snatcher she will always be... >:(

[Gazfoz]

Well yes to all that but you know I kind of look forward to a new direction because I am sick of the Labour party that does nothing for the working man and blatantly stuff their pockets with our money .
I never criticise the tories for looking after their own, after all that is what we all try to do but I feel let down by this government because I don't think they have looked after anybody but themselves personally and that can't be right. John Prescott is a shining example of this and should be totally ashamed of himself.
Tony Blair was/is a really talented politician but in my opinion his personality transcended party politics and New Labour just served his purpose as a vehicle for his personal aggrandisement.
I hope we can get back to a feeling of being part of this country, this land that we till and look after but I feel that maybe globalisation has robbed us of that right.
