    Believe it or not he is the Conservative candidate. Ken Livingstone who has been the Mayor for the last two terms is a Socialist. Perhaps this is just a knee jerk reaction to kick Gordon Brown in the teeth.

    I can’t believe it. The bloke is such a pratt. How the hell did he beat "Red" Ken. I know that people were a little tired of him, but at least you could take him seriously. This guy is a joke. They said on the radio that it was close…..

    Does this mean that he won’t host "have I got news for you" anymore? That would be a shame.When you see him on that, you know how much of a joke he is.

    I’m sure that he will lend some entertainment during his term, but this kind of thing is the reason why I don’t even think about looking at politics.

    Maybe there is a chance for Conservative next election. I can’t stand Brown. Scottish git…….

    I cant stand Brown either, he has let his ego damage the labour party. I have always voted labour but in these elections for the first time i voted lib dem. I hope the labour party get the message and put in a new leader before the general election, but somehow i don't think that will happen.

    One of many.

    Nice to see a racist, bigoted homophobe leading London. Soon the rest of the Bullingdon Club will be ruling the country. I'm not a Nationalist but I'd certainly consider it rather than a return to Tory rule.

    "Nice to see a racist, bigoted homophobe leading London"

    From Wikipedia:

    "Two days after Boris Johnson's candidacy for Mayor of London took a six point poll lead over Ken Livingstone in a YouGov survey published by the Daily Telegraph [51], Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, said that he would 'destroy London's unity', adding that 'once people read his views, there is no way he is going to get the support of any people in the black community'.

    She was referring especially to the occasion on which Johnson, as a journalist in 1999, accused the Macpherson Inquiry, which reported on police racism following the Lawrence murder, of 'hysteria', adding that the "recommendation that the law might be changed so as to allow prosecution for racist language or behaviour 'other than in a public place'" was akin to "Ceausescu's Romania".[52]

    The Conservative London Assembly candidate for Bexley and Bromley and former Conservative candidate for mayor of Lewisham, James Cleverly, another prominent black Londoner, rejected Doreen Lawrence's criticisms, saying, 'The comments that Doreen Lawrence made about Boris Johnson yesterday are deeply unfair. She implies an attitude towards the Macpherson report which is just not borne out by the facts, her words are clearly designed to taint Boris with a whiff of racism and to claim that "there is no way he is going to get the support of any people in the black community" is ridiculous"

    I am sure I'm in the minority but I quite like him.
