Boris has put himself in the same camp as Oswald Moseley, Farage and the EDL with his comment. He should know that Beth Din, Jewish courts, and Sharia courts operate entirely within the limitations of British law. Jewish and Muslim law covers the same subject matter food laws, burial rites, marriage and divorce. Those accepting the judgement of such courts do so voluntarily and have to be Jewish or Muslim respectively. Such courts are not the thin end of a wedge. We have had Jewish civil courts and synagogues for many decades. There has been no Jewish takeover. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...letely-5390680

As long as it ISN'T Ian Duncan Smith or Gove.

If Cameron quits, anyone who has not attended Eton, Harrow or Oxford. If Boris is elected, he will turn this country into a joke. Don't forget he invested Thousands of pounds into water cannons, that cannot be used

And definitely, not that idiot DW that bald headed ****.

Howabout Farage

Howabout Farage

if you want Farage vote UKIP

[Arthurgray50@blu]

I will tell you now -I will be voting LABOUR. There are too many of my friends and families that have been hit by Tory cutbacks.

I have been in fear of losing my job over the past two years, each month l am told that something will happen, and that my household bills have gone up - but not my wages.

And because of the fear of losing my job, l am looking for a TWO bed house, as if l am made redundant, l will have to pay the bedroom tax. I will NOT put my wife and family in poverty.

Cameron thinks of one person - himself and rich friends.

I cannot think od ONE decent MP in the Tories to take his place.

Yes we know who you vote for Arthur. You have moaned and bitched about the Coalition long enough now that it comes as no shock that you will be voting for the party that left the Coalition a note saying no money left, and take us back to tax hikes, borrow and borrow and spend and spend with no long term plan to pay the money back.

I thought anyone who voted UKIP were fools. I have to say, Farage is looking a safer bet to run the country right now than Miliband and Balls.

Boris would be an interesting choice, however, I voted "Dont care".

Politicians are only really interested in themselves.

Borrow, borrow borrow, remind me who doubled labours already hideous national debt to over a trillion, in fact under Gideons stewardship we have borrowed more in five years than bliar and his chums managed in thirteen, all these years of austerity with the promise of more of the same for twice as big a debt, anyone that thinks any of these parties are anymore than different cheeks on the same arse is the fool imo

I dunno, Boris has done a fairly good job of promoting London as an excellent venue for business. So much so that a few multinationals (e.g. HSBC ) have their world headquarters here. On a smaller scale, he has also managed to get the train companies to agree to take Oyster cards, and managed to get TFL to seriously look at Air Conditioning on the tube. Both things that Ken promised, but failed to achieve.

Boris has also managed to get TFL looking seriously at expanding travel options south of the river, by extending tube lines, tram lines or DLR lines. Something which Ken, TBF, didn't even promise, only really being interested in the areas North of the river, despite a lot of potential voters living South of the river.

I never thought you'd vote anything but Labour. I, of course, will be voting anything but Labour, as I personally believe they are the reason we went into the recession early, and were still struggling to come out as other countries had started to recover. I also believe the Gordon Brown's actions as Chancellor directly contributed to the cause of the recession.

These multinationals were based in London before Boris arrived. I am not sure why he gets the credit for it. HSBC have been there for years.

That is really unfair. It takes time to get air-conditioned trains built and you can't simply credit Boris Johnson because he was in charge when they started to rollout. It's also unfair to say Ken failed to achieve it because he was voted out before their introduction. He was still the one to commission them. Also it's not as if they missed their target by much.

Crossrail 2 has been in consideration for a while. It's not moved ahead any further than consultation though so until Boris secures funding for it/gives it the go-ahead then it's just theoretical. Livingstone did actually get Crossrail 1 moving along with the Government at the time. That's more of an achievement that 'looking at it'. Crossrail 2 has had routes reserved since 2001. It's still not been seriously lobbied for yet.

Boris' achievements as Mayor have been modest. He has been a competent Mayor, for the most part, who has seen though or expended existing projects (Olympics, Crossrail, the Bike Scheme, Oyster cards and the TFL upgrade program) and also got those new buses but his legacy won't be as lasting as that of Livingstone who initiated most of those schemes for which you're now (along with Tory supporters) crediting to Boris.
