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.

Re: 'Red' Ken does it again!
He is in China on an official visit along with other members connected with the Olympics - Lord Coe included, but then again, he is a Tory so doesn't get the same harrassing and damnation.
He said a couple of silly remarks, but as ever it has to be plastered all over the press and news as some terrible statement etc, which is bollocks. So what if he says some silly things sometimes, the fact remains he does a lot of good and does them for the ordinary worker on the street of any London town - which is why we vote for him and why he was easily our Mayor. Also why he will be in the position for a long time to come, the more the right wing press blow his comments out of all proportion the more ordinary people don't give a flying....
