Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
I must give our cousins across the pond due credit. You're doing remarkably well with such a 'scandal'.
If Ray Nagin (the bonehead from New Orleans who decided 2000 busses weren't needed) were in Red Ken's shoes, we'd be apopletic over here. The right would be screaming for his head on a stake for treason, and the left would be falling over themselves defending him. The fact that you all can give each other the business, but in a friendly way, speaks very highly of you.
Have you ever noticed how Idaho lays low when these discussions of how wretched the honorable Lord Mayor truly is come to the surface?
As an aside, I strongly suspect your man Ken is holed up at the Grand Hyatt (about 2 blocks from Tianamen and a very swank hotel) and the Party has seen to it several rather attactive young ladies have joined him for evening cocktail parties in the bar. Such public statements are one way to ensure the 'tea-parties' continue.... The nationalistic Chinese (and actually, I've found most aren't) love hearing two things out of Westerners 1) we have misjudged them and maybe human rights aren't so bad 2) we could stand to learn a thing or two from their models of capitalsim. I can stomach the latter, as there's more than a little truth there. Being as he's "Red" Ken, I imagine he couldn't bring himself to that and had to focus on the former.

The thing is Don, (BTW congrats on gettin' bail, and I got that money I owe you, it's in the post
)we British have a healthy scepticism and distrust of our 'overlords', personally I think it comes from our republican days, so when they act like imbeciles and onanists, we are seeing what we expected anyway.
Now a politician that actually listened to and acted upon the wishes of the electorate after they get elected would be nice, but not remotely in sight, sadly.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Run for office then...Now a politician that actually listened to and acted upon the wishes of the electorate after they get elected would be nice, but not remotely in sight, sadly.
It's a real shame about Ken, he's quite a character, and I quite like some of his policies, but he's unfortunately a bit of a numpty when it comes to some things.

"numpty"
beautiful Scots word, I'm glad to see it has made its way elsewhere.
Now "teuchter" must be popularised too.
oh, yeah, to keep it on topic, Red Ken is definitely a numpty but I'd be shocked if he were a teuchter.

Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
I hate Ken with a passion, even more after he got repremanded for his jew comments and yet has still somehow escaped any real punishment....
Didnt he appeal or something? and lo and behold his punishment was overturned?
And what does he actually do? apart from insult various cultural groups and tax raod users for a public transport system that still doesnt get any better.
