Two Mayor Or Not Two Mayor?
“Rah, rah, rah, we’re going to rule the world”
Boris Johnson, back in the day.
So, I ventured out my house yesterday to go see Park Chan-Wook, the guy who did Oldboy’s new movie, I’m A Cyborg But That’s OK. It was dope! A very beautiful, off-center love story set in a sanitarium. Starring a thief and cyborg. Who shoots bullets out of her fingers. Sort of. Which is dope. Oh, and she was called Young Goon, which is the best rap name I’ve heard all year.
Anyway. On the way back I saw the cover of one of those free London papers, the slightly-less blatantly evil one called, um, The London Paper. It had a headline that went something like
FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CITY, VOTE!
Basically saying we should give a shit about the London Mayoral elections. It went on to blather in some miserable depth about how their editorial stance was totally non-bias. This was especially funny, as the article was illustrated by a photo of but TWO of the candidates.
Yes, even here, in The Grayte Mayoral Race, the press enforce the two-party scam.
We have to choose between a proven scumbag called Ken, and a proven scumbag called Boris. Boris is a better name, and dude has better hair, so he kind of wins. That’s it. They are both liars, frauds, swine of the highest, nay, LOWEST degree. They will both continue to March us into the fiery pits of the Rubbish Orwellian Control State with all the merry glee of a pair of well fed concentration camp guards.
Brian Paddick, who doesn’t get to have his picture on the front of the non-biased London Paper, once said he was in favour of anarchy. I might have voted for him, had I actually been on the electoral roll, which I am totally not, for personal reasons involving debt collectors, or if I gave two shits about the circus antics of SCUMCORP-repping politicios.
How about you lot? Anyone vote? Give a crap in the slightest? Stay home playing GTA4 (you bastards!)?

I voted. Paddick licks crack. In a metaphorical sense and I would assume in a physical sense with no homo intended on my part. But actually is that true? You are not calling Ken a dick head in that picture. I called him a dick head the other day. That’s a win for me.

Paddock was responsible for the “successful” Brixton cannabis experiment. As a Brickie (Brixtoner, Brixtonian?) myself, I can tell you this policy did more for the Lambeth crack trade then Arm & Hammer.

He didn’t say anything. He smiled like a prick and carried on doing the interview he was doing. I was on the phone, saw him in Brixton market, approached him on the phone. Got eye contact, pulled my phone away and went “Diiiick head” he thought I wanted a hand shake or some shit. He had so many evil people with him I think they’re used to it.

Having leafed through the brochure I can say I’d vote Siân Berry if I had any faith in party politics. In fact, as it’s not strictly party affiliated I’d vote her anyway. And the left list woman second, although I’m not entirely convinced by that lot.
I wish everyone would refrain from having ken and/or boris as even 2nd choice, as they are, as you put it, proven scumbags. I like “nazi fop” (George Pringle on Boris) and “pigeon-poisoning, Jew-bothering, boss-eyed, smug twat” (The Voice Of Reason on Ken).
Paddick has as much personality as a non-adjustable spanner.

The all powerful “they”, made out that the choice was between the anti-semite or the anti-gay…
My opinion on voting is more or less the same as what W.C Fields once said, that “I never vote for anyone, I alway vote against”. It’s not so much a case of voting in someone you want as making damn sure that some people DON’T win.

I’m saddened that Boris has won. I don’t get how even the people who like him (actually I don’t get how anyone could like him) could think he’s capable of running the capital city.
Sian Berry would win for me, but I’d pick Ken over Boris definitely.
Don’t live in London anyway.
That picture’s awesome btw, nice vest.

Well it’s simple really. The only way the job of Mayor could actually be important would be if you did the job badly. Which Ken did. Not only did he run it badly but he also ran it very corruptly. He divided the City by race and charged us for the pleasure. I’m of the opinion that Boris will stick to the job of a London Mayor (by not rocking the boat, by not extending his own powers) and we’ll have a happier, better organised capital city for it.
