Boris Johnson's Vanity Project Bridge And £37Million Wasted

[Gromit]

So the Garden Bridhe has been officiallykicked into the long grass, but not before £37million of tax payers money has been wated on it.

It was Johnson's pet project, and there was dodgy dealings over who got the contract to design and build it.

Should Johnson be barred from public office for his malfeasance ?

Mikey, a daft scheme it may have been in your opinion, but the bridge was the brainchild of Joanna Lumley, not Boris Johnson, and it was a project that Khan supported until recently.

//The Mayor’s decision was in spite of his long-standing support in principle for the bridge. Mr Khan had said in February: “Given previous expenditure, the taxpayer will be better off if the bridge is built.”//

At a time when we have so many other calls on on our money, to have carried on with this project would have been difficult to justify.

I agree with you that it would have been nice to have this though.

Yes he should be barred, send him back to America his place of birth, perhaps Trump could find him a job, they have a lot in common.
