Boris Johnson Last Night

[KeyboardJockey]

like communists/loonie lefties, i can't take any Tory seriously. have yet to meet a Tory/commie who isn't an arsehole or a mug or both

I think that that applies to all extremists of various sorts really.

Not true Garf, The Mayor sets the annual budget for the Metropolitan Police, who provide policing in the capital, under the oversight of the Metropolitan Police Authority.

Thanks for the clarification.

 

[nino_savatte]

I'm not a tory

Sure, pull the other one.

 

[KeyboardJockey]

I'm definitely up for bringing back bus conductors. I knew when I was a kid I got away with far more on the buses that were OPO and they were far more threatening then the crewed buses.

 

[nino_savatte]

He will never be able to erase this from his copy book.

The report also quotes a Daily Telegraph column from 2002 in which Mr Johnson referred to "flag-waving picaninnies" and made an ironic reference to "tribal warriors [breaking] out in watermelon smiles" upon Tony Blair's arrival in Africa.

Who the fuck else can I vote for to get rid of Livingstone? Not Paddick for sure and certainly not one of the left sects.

So you vote Tory instead? Time to stop denying the truth and admit to yourself that you're a Tory.

what pulbicly as well as personally

 

[newbie]

To be honest knowing how progressive this particular audience can be I expected him to bet a rougher ride

If he had gone in there and been a total Thatcherite dick then he would have been ripped to shreds the fact he wasn't was testimony to how much people desire some form of change from Livingstone.

Aren't you being a little naive? He's a populist and he tells people what they want to hear. Do you really think he's going to give the same speech to a gritty innacity progressive (!) audience as he does to his well heeled constituents in leafy Henley? Let alone what he says in private to his chums.

My thoughts.. he's hardly gonna go out there screaming like a banshee with two heads! He's trying to get votes..

Well who do you suggest he votes for? Myself, I'm probably going to abstain as there's no IWCA canddite this time and I really can't stomache the others that are on offer.

I thought you'd be coming out too

 

[Raw SslaC]

In terms of corruption, you should have asked Boris why his offices are being paid for by the Shirayama Shokusan Corporation at County Hall who had their proposal for a multi-million development near County Hall rejected by Ken Livingstones office

 

[Belushi]

I can just imagine it - rants about the cod-right and mock-tories

Aye, bloody good point.

 

[ViolentPanda]

look, the bloke had sex with Petronella Wyatt, that should be enough to disqualify him for life from any position more responsible than milk monitor.

Gawd, what a horrible thought: the pair of them going at it like knives.

Look I'm not recommending shagging Boris just voting for him. Works the other way round as well. I've shagged people who I wouldn't want to vote for.

Anyway the side question is: Is Petsy Wyatt as much of a wanker as her dad?

 

[KeyboardJockey]

Not half as bad a thought as being approached by Galloway dressed in a catsuit and determined to fuck your arse.

Huh?

He will have to declare this expenditure when his candidature is offficially registered unless they are not counting pre election period expenditure.

 

[KeyboardJockey]

Huh?

I was trying to think of an equally distasteful image.

 

[citydreams]

Flimsy policies:

Off peak is after 6pm - all day is peak time - so this is meaningless.

I dont see Boris doing anything about stopping Heathrow expansion...

Er... that's whats happening now

Not sure what this means, but when our local Ballroom was threatened with redevelopment, the existing listigns system sprung into action in no time and saved the building. Reinventing the wheel here.

Biggest increase in police numbers in however many years - he's missed the boat on this one.


I'd love to see Boris' design for that new bus!

He's daydreaming - you cant hop on to a routemaster with a pram or wheelchair (why they were scrapped) no matter what the design.

And scrapping bendy bus is populist and hugely expensive. If anything let them be run down as they get old.

Has no chance of halting this - the games need paying for and that is that. No way will he manage it. False promise - the deal is done.

Exactly. The man has no new ideas, but is willing to lie to get into power. Dangerous in the extreme.

"OPO"?

Back in my day we happily called them "OMO" buses, and if that got a cheap laugh at the expense of the driver, then tough!

It's political correctness gone mad, I tells thee!!

 

[tarannau]

Look,, this is the daft, divisive cunt who talked about 'piccaninnies' and 'watermelon smiles' . He's a strangely likeable duffer, but that doesn't mean that he should be put in charge of a mouth, let alone one of the world's most successful multicultural city

 

[ViolentPanda]

The question is: Would you?

Anyway the side question is: Is Petsy Wyatt as much of a wanker as her dad?

Hmmm, lets see. she doesn't smoke phallic cigars like her dad, but she wrote the same kind of crap as he did in the same paper (the Bellylaugh) and the same journal (the Spectator), so although she might not be as much of a wanker, she is as much of a deluded, feeble-minded arselicker.

 

[newbie]

I have this vision of him with his cronies, guarded populists all, the Prince Philips or Norman Tebbits of this world, blunt in private but careful when the great unwashed or microphones are around.


The entire Conservative and Unionist Party is rebranding itself as being cuddly, caring, sharing and unlikely to frighten the servants. He's their official candidate, he's on-message, he's as untrustworthy as Livingstone but suffers one significant difference and that is that he has no connection with London, he's just been parachuted in because he gives good telly..

 

[KeyboardJockey]

Look,, this is the daft, divisive cunt who talked about 'piccaninnies' and 'watermelon smiles' causing the Lawrences. He's a strangely likeable duffer, but that doesn't mean that he should be put in charge of a mouth, let alone one of the world's most successful multicultural city

I don't agree with some of the stuff that he has said in the past but he was questioned on the issue of multiculturalism and he said that he supported the teaching and support of religions and cultures other than the main one and how he was amazed and enthused by his son learning about other faiths at school.

He also said that he would support measures that would bring people together and stated that he would never ever invite to City Hall those who were sexist, racist, anti semitic and homophobic (unlike Livingstone).

 

[poster342002]

Can't come out as a tory seeing as I'm not one. For the umpdred-and-umpty-umpth time.

 

[KeyboardJockey]

The question is: Would you?

Wouldn't shag Boris. However I have shagged someone who ended up supporting a party that I wouldn't put my name to. Good shag crap politics. I know someone who shagged Mr M*** P*********** MP but it didn't make him into a raving tory.

Hmmm, lets see. she doesn't smoke phallic cigars like her dad, but she wrote the same kind of crap as he did in the same paper (the Bellylaugh) and the same journal (the Spectator), so although she might not be as much of a wanker, she is as much of a deluded, feeble-minded arselicker.

Thanks for the info about Petsy Wyatt.

This would carry more weight were NuLab not just as vile. As it stands it's just a case of "pots and kettles".
