London Tory Night Mayor

Now, you would expect such behaviour from the Lib Dems perhaps, but Labour supporters posing as Tories to vote against Boris Johnson is clearly unfair.

Four things fall out of this:


(1) Boris Johnson is clearly a strong opponent if Labour supporters have to resort to such underhand tactics to take him on. Personally I thought Ken would wipe the floor with him but I guess this just shows what I know.

(2) Ken Livingstone should surely come out strongly against such practises, otherwise silence would be tacit support for it.

(3) If this Labour sabotage turns out to be just a few students on Facebook then the BBC are going to have to up their game with regard to "Breaking News".

(4) Someone is surely having a laugh that the other three Tory candidates are genuinely called: Victoria Borwick, Warwick Lightfoot and Andrew Boff. Perhaps they are competing to see who has the silliest name and who will consequently attract all the Labour votes and win the contest. My money's on Warwick.


Anyway, in response to the quote from londontorynightmayor : It's a deeply sensible idea, and we'd encourage as many non-Tories as possible to get involved...

.... stop wetting your pants chortling at childish games and get back to studying for your resits.
