  • So Johnson (and Cameron, who is no.2 in that pic) are posh and went to a decent university and joined a dressing up and dining club. Big deal. Why does this debar them from being elected? And why does it not debar an avowed communist like Livingstone? A man who seized control of the GLC in a coup from the democratically elected candidate and then ran London as his own personal fiefdom thereafter until its abolition?

    Is re-writing history to suit your own ends a speciality of yours? Livingston took control of the GLC after defeating Andrew McIntosh in a leadership election. Most coups involve guns as far as I'm aware, not ballot boxes.

    That the GLC was abolished without consultation by the Conservatives seems to have passed you by too. Hardly a democratic act eh?
