When he first took over the GLC, for example, he had just been elected as a follower of the leader he then overthrew. This time, making Boris his opponent of choice seems aimed at eliminating Paddick before too many second preferences are being taken into account. The move to stymie that would be for Boris and Paddick to recommend each other as second preferences. On the polling at present that would mean a win for Boris; but it could attract Paddick because it would mean that if Boris did not win, Paddick would.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-26976777405306666572008-03-19T15:10:00.000+00:002008-03-19T15:10:00.000+00:00I must be fair and say that Ken does have a sort o...I must be fair and say that Ken does have a sort of vulpine charisma.<BR/><BR/>Swigging Brasso and Old Spice, his eyes follow Boris around the room as he desperately seeks to work out how his rival, who always looks as though he has just fallen through a hedge backwards, could possibly be beating him.<BR/><BR/>This is the most fun election ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-69961657009044336882008-03-19T15:06:00.000+00:002008-03-19T15:06:00.000+00:00I voted for Steve Norris twice.

He is the physical incarnation or moral cowardice treachery and as ever the key to the traitor is his vanity<BR/><BR/>You may wonder Briggs why it is that so many of the left are nauseated by Ken Livingstone . This springs from his deliberate decision to ignore moderate Islamic opinion and throw in his lot with extremists who counsel death for apostates women homosexual and ...well anyone they do not like . He did this for one reasons which was to acquire the Muslim vote by sectioning it away from the growing good relations it previously evolved with the Jewish community .He has sponsored clerics who publicly admire the execution of innocent Jews and he has done so just as he has sought to divide black and white people in London because his political future lies in victims and tribal hatred. He has insulted Jews deliberately partly because of the traditional Labour anti Semitism but mostly to suck up to radical Islam and co-opt it inot his carrerr and the progress of left gangsterism in London al la George Galloway.<BR/><BR/><BR/>He sickens and nauseates all good people and I will include in this most of the Labour Party , certainly Gordon Brown , who plodding and out of his depth though he might be, is not an evil, man . Nick Coen . Martin Bright cannot stand him ...This is a man most of the Labour Parry have to hold their nose to stand next to and a victory would usher in a London of racial divides corruption and City hall slush finds for years <BR/><BR/>Boris has to win , he is a flawed man but a good and talented man and he will do great things for London. <BR/><BR/><BR/>All of LondonNewmaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922161971821380803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-16971681905376899752008-03-19T09:44:00.000+00:002008-03-19T09:44:00.000+00:00@ Jill, London"David Boothroyd really ought to sto...@ Jill, London<BR/><BR/><I>"David Boothroyd really ought to stop peddling Lefty misinformation"</I><BR/><BR/>I don't see why that should be so.
