The more cynical might see this as a lame excuse to put a risqué picture of Konnie Huq on the blog. However, I was amazed this week when Ken Livingstone's propaganda rag 'The Londoner', which incidentally costs the London ratepayer £6 million a year to produce, declared Konnie's support for a recent bicycle event. What it didn't say was that she withdrew her support after Ken started spouting political stuff. This put her job as a BBC presenter in immediate peril. Her agent had to apologise profusely to the BBC who had warned him about making a booking for Konnie at an event where Ken Livingstone was involved.The sooner we can get that megalomaniac out of office the better. He just bulldozes through crazy policies without listening to any common sense. He is responsible for all those bus lanes that hold up the traffic (there's one in Coulsdon which isn't even on a bus route), so called congestion charging, bendy buses that can obliterate his beloved cyclists, letting teenagers travel free which has resulted in transport being practically a no go area and the murder of thousands of pigeons in Trafalgar Square. OK - I'm not so unhappy about the last one. He criticizes opposition councillors expense claims which would be fair enough if he hadn't swanned off on a paid junket to the Caribbean and South America which was completely pointless. It just satisfied his life long desire to brown nose with Fidel Castro.
His latest brainwave is to set up cameras to fine motorists who stray into the completely empty cycle lanes that are narrowing down the streets all over London and causing more congestion. His 'congestion charge' failed miserably to ease congestion so it has mutated to an environmental charge. He wants to charge larger cars £25 to enter London if he gets re-elected. Cameras are already in place which will spot lorries that emit to much pollution and they will be charged hundreds. How long before that applies to cars as well?
He has to go. Boris Johnson for Mayor!
