Before Boris can start improving London he has to fix the damage Red Ken did.

What damage ?

My opinion of Ken went up enormously when I wrote a letter to all the major parties, local MP etc - most either didn't reply or sent me a standard bull, but he actually took time to address my questions and told me about all sorts of good stuff he was doing that somehow never made the Evening Standard (but then I never did trust a paper owned by The Daily Heil who upon Ken's election vowed to do everything in their power to get him ousted - so much for balanced journalism).  

He took about 2 months to reply, but then I'd be worried if he had so little to do that I got a reply by return of post

Though I'm still not entirely conviced London needs a mayor.

A little number for the barking bard Billy Hague


I sacked a miner
I sacked a docker
I sacked a railway man
in eighty-four
I raised two families
my wifes and my mistresses
With chums at the stock-exchange
since eighty-four

I smashed the union and as times got harder
I counted my bonuses and ****ed the working man
And I brought prosperity down at the armoury
"We're arming the police me boys"
Since eighty-four

Thank god for Idiots for they kept voting
Not for equality but for tax cuts and cash
Now mine is a land with a wall around it
And you can go and **** yourself my fellow man
Mine is a land of hope and glory
Plough up the green field and destroy the factory floor
Keep all the skies dark with bombers
For mine is the dosh we've made since eighty-four

Call up the craftsmen
Bring me the draughtsmen
Get them all jobs in call-centres now
And I'll give my consent
To Tory government
And they'll decide what is a living wage

Go find the young men never to work again
Bring up the shackles from the days gone by
Sweet renumeration
Heart of this nation
Man life's been good
since eighty four

Maybe we could balance things with a performance by Billy Modest.

They could invite Ted Nugent over...

Or...

I am a protest singer
I protest all of the day
It makes me loadsamoney
I'm alright Jack, hooray!

I am a protest singer
I get to sing with stars
Get out the way you peasants
With you crappy little cars

I am a protest singer
I really important now
I live in a small old mansion
Thanks for the cash, anyhow

I am a protest singer
Remembering times gone by
I'll dig up ancient history
As I've been left behind, somehow

Did Red Ken mention his wonderful bendy bus he put on the streets of London, the one’s that are nicked named the free bus, because hardly anyone pays. They are costing London over a million pounds a week in lost fares.

He said when he got to be major he wanted to finish The Evening Standard as a paper and also the London Taxi drivers.
Well he finished the paper as it’s gone free; it has also put a lot of the guys who sold the paper out of work. Well done Ken. Just because they printed stories about how much money he was wasting, like the time he got a cab from Blackpool to London.

Your right, London doesn’t need a major and if they do, it should be me
