Why is it that people need to follow certain Daily Mail commentators on referring to Ken as "red Ken", I mean he has hardly been "red" in his running of London, its normally the Littlejohn brigade who portray him in this way, including that fair-minded commentator Melanie Phillips. Given the choice I would rather be red than a bigot.
As regards the congestion charge, and business's suffering huge losses I don't hear of Boris rescinding it, and of course things were great before, traffic moving at 1890 speeds. Of course Ken wasn't perfect, but on the whole he did a good job, lets see if Boris can say the same in 4 years without his media minders and Lynton Crosby orchestrating his every move.
Ive just noticed we have cross posted Osem, Id like to make it clear I'm referring to Littlejohn and Phillips in my bigot remark, not anyone on CF.
