And what was actually in his manifesto...

Too bloody right! He might have his failings but at least KL is a
Londoner who loves London

In that case why did he have a place in Brighton and commute from there
(prior to becoming Mayor) ?

and has a history of working for Londoners.
Of course, he's got some things wrong but at least his head and heart
are in the right place.

What's the realistic alternative? A mainstream career party
politician who sees the London Mayorship as a short-term stepping
stone on his way up the ladder? The day the London Mayor role becomes
just another rung on the Westminster ladder is the day it becomes
worthless.

Lets face it the congestion charge was always about Ken raising
revenue for his pets schemes.

His pets schemes? You mean the newts came up with the ideas? :-)))

Now the current scheme isn't giving him enough
money of course he'll look at either raising the charge, or extending
the area covered. He won't be happy until it covers the inside of the
M25 !

Did I mention you can vote the ******* out of office in 2004 ?? :-)

But in favour of whom? Someone who parrots central government party
political dogma rather than *trying* (successfully or otherwise) to do
something for London


Hmm... central government... you do realise that the Labour mayoral
candidate will probably come fourth?
