God forbid that this nightmare ever comes to fruition. Everything he has ever done has fallen to pieces, He was bombed out of the
Foreign Office for things he said. As the Mayor of London he wasted millions of pounds on Water Cannons which were eventually sold off at a ridiculously low price. Then there were the bendy busses, immediately got rid of by Kahn when he became mayor.
The world would be laughing at us if this fat fek ever gets in.

I want Boris to win. If he does it will be the end of the Tories and we will have a Labour Govt for three generations.

A sociopath like Johnson could do quite a lot of damage between now and 2022. I'd never wish for that. I'm not especially enthused by three generations of Labour government either to be honest.

Don’t need to look outside our own countries for poo poo leaders. A low that has the potential to go even lower.

Mehhhhhh, I think a lot of that is a front. The bloke is a proper wrongun. It suits him to be seen as an affable oaf but given a sniff of power and he'd turn into a greasy spoon version of Trump, the national strongman who talks crap and "proves" himself through set-piece provocations on the domestic and international stage. God knows who he'd pick a fight with but it'd be the rest of us that would suffer.

I also don't buy this argument that the definitive proof of the Tories' utter villainy would see them banished from power. That's not how it works.

There will not be a general election. Also draining the swamp in USA worked a treat didn't it. Although I do agree it needs to be drained!

Probably worth checking your facts before posting.

Boris Johnson is a tw*t. However, he wasn't responsible for bendy buses, that was Livingstone.

The water cannon was around a 300k loss, not millions. It was also the met police that wanted them, and Theresa May who decides to ban them on the same basis our police do not routinely carry guns.

Amazing that May has rightly or wrongly received flack for limiting our police, however this water cannon issue goes down as Johnson error. Water cannon looked extremely successful in the past in dealing with football hooliganism in Europe, but not deemed fit for use in the UK. No wonder we voted to leave.

Wastage of money
Not a million, no.

£354,000 per bus for an initial bulk consignment in 2012 of 600, and approximately £325,000 for an additional 200 in 2014.

That meant each bus was around 50k more then the previous standard bus for the first batch, around 30k for the second.

Saddiq Khan, who cancelled further purchases of the new routemaster above is introducing a new electric bus that comes in around 500k per bus for the 20 ordered.

And for what it's worth Khan, Johnson and Livingstone have all been pretty terrible mayor's for one reason or another and none are remotely likeable.

The Torres got what they deserved. However, what’s funny is the people still don’t want Labour to run their councils, cos let’s face it the ones they do run are useless.
Really? Name one?
I’d start with those regions where they lost councillors. Beggars belief that this was possible given the utter shambles that are the Tories. Then I would look at those councils where Tories lost out but people preferred anybody else but Labour. Not difficult really. Want names? Go look up the results, enough of them.
Lazy Prez. The onus is on those who fabricate facts to put up or shut up. As you have been found out in this way in the past, I am not surprised your Tory bias has come back out.

I loved Ken back in the 80's when he slashed the fares to make going to work affordable for working class people.

Then the Tory controlled Bromley Council took the GLC to Court and raised the fares.

I'm sure the people of Henley would love to vote for Boris Johnson, however i wouldn't think many of them would feel sp strongly about it that they'd move to his constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip to do so.
