dodgy kens mates

[helpmetoo]

they are getting found out now, hopefully ken will fall before may,

what a dodgy lot livingstone presides over,

hands up if you are illiterate or know someone who is and is on (was on) 120 large a year like jasper?

[jake-the-peg]

I wonder if he did more or less work than that Toryminister's son who managed to hold down a researchers job whilst completing his studies.

Sounds like Cameron presides over a pretty dodgy lot too!

jake

true but remember in a democracy that tory minister was at least voted into office

commandant ken dishes out jobs and favours to his minority mates as often demonstrated for political ends not on merit or ability

of course politicians are mostly a dodgy lot (with a few exceptions, say the likes of tony benn and anne widdecombe, who say it like they think it), its all about how dodgy you are on the dodgy scale of 1 low and 10 high,

livingstone i presume is a 10

[Quinlad]

Very confusing democracy argument, helpmetoo.

Are you complaining that Jasper wasn't voted into office, even though he was appointed by Livingtone, who was?

How is that different from Frederick Conway (who wasn't voted into office) being appointed by Derek Conway (who was)?

I genuinely don't understand your point.

[Panic Button]

You think Ken's bad.

Just wait for Boris!

[helpmetoo]

i see your reasoning,

do you live in london?

i do and this aint much of a democracy i can tell you,

if you do and you think it is operating in the interests of all londoners you are bought off once and for all

[Quinlad]

I do live in London thanks and I absolutely love it.

Sorry if that sounds provocative but I genuinely mean it.

Can you be more specific about your issues? I refuse to believe you're that up in arms about an employee of the mayor not correctly declaring expenses.

[helpmetoo]

livingstone has lost the plot i believe,

he and all he stands for and his methods are despised by hardworking londoners

a vast proportion of the money leached off contributing londoners is slid over to numpty satellite operations and tfl which do b all apart from promote ken as god and ensuring that at the next election they know where to put their cross

[Quinlad]

That's sneaky of him. Doing things that Londoners like so that they'll vote for him. That puts us out.

And you complain that he's undemocratic.

I'm a hardworking Londonder who loves the congestion charge and the fact that money is being pumped into our decrepiit transport system. Should I despise it?

[Tichfield]

So long as Ken and his dodgy pals are doing OK out of your Council Taxes I expect he his a happy bunny too

[helpmetoo]

you love the congestion charge?,

as you are so fond of it you may consider getting a job within that office,

you would have to move to coventry though as all that revenue spent on admin doesnt even go back into the london economy,

[Postdog]

Boris has never had the plot - he's a gade A joke. You'll all be sorrier if Ken goes.

[tigerlily11]

Boris or Ken. Its going to be hard to pick idiot of the year really. They both have so much to offer.
