Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

Boris. Ken is a two faced twerp who has one set of rules for himself and purports to have another set for everyone else. Boris may be a Tory, but he isn't merely a drone who mindlessly follows central diktats.

Er, sorry, I was kinda speaking for myself not you.
I can see how that could be misinterprited, but I would rather we didn't go over this again.

No it's not that. I actually don't get the comment.
Not to over analyse, but the quotation marks imply that it's supposed to be words in the mouth of some group, if said group is the Upper Class, aka the Aristocracy, then you misinterpreted my point.
for an example of what I'm talking about, consider the raised eyebrows in Whitehall regarding George V's treatment of African Commonwealth soldiers he met during WWI.

Re: Let's have a scrap! This week the Mayor of London.
Oh, well when PVC said "the Upper Class tend to look down on everyone without reference to colour or creed." it kinda reminded me of the quote I had heard once said in jest, it seemed to be funny at the time and I thought it would be somewhat humorous here.
I guess I'm not exactly Pizza guy or Strike when it comes to making fun of a situation.

I believe the correct quote is: "Work is the curse of the drinking classes".
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.

Re: Let's have a scrap! This week the Mayor of London.
I'd have to say I chose Boris. I don't know much about local politics in the UK, but from what I do know, Red Ken is a crypto-marxist who openly sympathizes with people like Hugo Chavez. Since I don't think that a person like Red Ken is likely to be ignorant about what happens in Venezuela while still somehow being in favor of it, he's in my opinion an utterly repugnant person.
Boris, by contrast, has "folksy charm". By that I mean that his rethoric is as crass as the ramblings of an alcoholic coal miner. I find that endearing.

Tom Araya said something like that.
Re: Let's have a scrap! This week the Mayor of London.
It takes either a genius or a fool to successfully run the city of London, luckily, Boris is both.

Sounds clever, means nothing.
I just summed up 98% of 'intellectual' discussion on the internet.
As for voting, I just ask "which individual/party is going to help me get a job?". When I find one that fits that description I will make the effort to vote and maybe care about what is going on in the world of party politics.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Let's have a scrap! This week the Mayor of London.
Not completely true. It is more saying the complication and mechanics involved and in such a way to successfully run the city of London, you need to be a genius who is able to comprehend what is actually going on to be able to put in effect the required and desired changes, or you are so foolish, you just clumsily stumble into randomly making all the right steps. I was commenting that we are lucky that our Boris is both (refering to his mannerisms and contrasting intellectual prowess), so he is bound to successfully run the city of London.

Boris.
For no other reason that Ken has always been a dangerous idiot.

Re: Let's have a scrap! This week the Mayor of London.
Ken, as he seems a fundamentally decent human being.
Boris seems a ruthless populist with no discernable principle beyond self-advancement. I am still curious how he has had such a successful career after being recorded agreeing to give his crooked friend, Darius Guppy, the address of Stuart Collier, a journalist, so Guppy could have the journalist beaten up. He makes Lord Archer look like the Archbishop of Canterbury in comparison.
