Good old Boris. London may well crumble to bits within 4 years but we'll all be laughing as it happens.

Boris on Ken about 7/7 - "[Ken has the] thanks and admiration of millions of Londoners, even if today you think they had a funny way of showing it"

Boris: "Thanks to.. the knocker-uppers"

And I can't think about Boris without thinking of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWIUp19bBoA

I thought Boris's victory speech was very gracious, much more than Ken deserved. I'd have stuffed one of his newts where the sun don't shine and told him to go forth and multiply :D

Ken's speech was very gracious as well. Also Ken did deserve that speech from Johnson and it's the least he could say.

Ken has a respectable record of achievement, he had been major for 8 years, and working for London for *i think* over 25 years. His speech about after 7/7 and today showed real passion for London, his voice was constantly breaking.

I think he deserves the standing ovation he got, and the testaments made to his service.

Well I suppose congrats for Boris, but I bet Ken will be back, just in time for a fourth glorious Labour victory. Then we can get back to what is more fun, watching the Tory right wingers turn on the party.:D

Ken was passionate about the environment, so passionate, he introduced 20mph zones. Well thought out that one Ken. :rofl:

Borris Johnson, full name Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. I fart in your general direction!.

Seriously though, he does make me laugh :) I love the News for you clips in this vid, especially his quick reply about wives. :D Link

Glad to see the Henley boy won it!

Now - please forgive my ignorance on the subject, but what does the mayor actually do?

Does he have control over the London City of London / Greater London budget and will he get to wear a nice gold chain! LOL!

There you go, Tory voters always looking for someone to lift them out of the hole they have dug themselves into instead of sorting their own lives out, will never happen.
Stop dreaming and get off your duff if you want things to improve, nothing will change unless you make it happen.
Remember, there is nothing to fear except fear itself. ;)

What about psychopaths with machetes and machine guns - shouldn't we fear them?

And the slow heat death of the Universe?

Shape-shifting hamster-eating xenomorphs?
