Ironic, isn't it, that lefties claim Boris is a toff and Ken a man of the people. Who is actually talking to the people?

Ken despises the middle classes and aspirational working classes who live in the suburbs. Of course, if you're rich enough, inner-city life is fine - you can live where there's no crime and the congestion charge - or a taxi - is peanuts.

Ken once took a taxi all the way to Blackpool for a conference. Not anymore, he won't.

By the way, I thought Boris' speech was "magnanimous in victory".

I'm not a Londoner but I watched with dismay as Ken started acting like a little king during his second term, cosying up to Chavez and Quardawi. Conducting his own 'foreign policy', against the interests of the country as a whole. What on earth has that  got to do with the tubes, the hospitals, the schools and the life of ordinary Londoners? He was indulging his own brand of fantasy left wing politics to boost HIS international standing as a hard left politician. He was using London as his own personal fiefdom.

Maybe there will be some patronage now from Al-Jazeera?

I am proud that Londoners have kicked him out and hope that this signals a mood in the country as a whole to return to one nation British secular democratic values.

In Scotland though we have Alex Salmond behaving much like Ken, greeting the Iranian ambassador and cosying up to Islamists like Osama Saeed. And Muslims don't even constitute 1% of the population yet! (0.87%, according to 2001 census).

Well done London!
