Boris the legend continues.

[Insel affe]

Boris has just been on local London news, promoting the benifits of children learning to swim in coordination with the olympics. When asked if he was any good at swimming he replied.

" I once entered a swimming race and came so last i finished HALF OF TWO FURLONGS BEHIND "

Do you mean one furlong behind then Boris

He is just value for money, im glad i voted for the dude

 

[The Large One]

220 yards. Or just about four lengths.

And people wonder why the rest of the country takes the piss out of Londoners :dasreich:

Only a cockney could vote in a politician who is responsible for running their lives and who is an total & utter buffoon!

It wasn't the cockneys that voted for him.

It was Bexley and Bromley, whose turnout in May 08 was at 60%(!!!) and 100k of them voted for Boris.

 

[London Calling]

Big C they are running East London extension line trials now!

I aint a Cockney Supasegull !

I think you will find he is not responsible for " running my life " I am

A total & utter buffoon maybe, but a clever one, as if red ken was any better, also as you say its upto those that voted for him or not......

so i did and im happy

I know! Should be open May 2010 by all accounts.

Still aren't happy in my new part of the woods(Loughborough Junction/Denmark Hill) because of the plans to remove the SLL service.

Putting off Vic Tube Station upgrade till past 2018 also seems pretty damned stupid IMO.

What a buffoon, why is this man in politics?

The Evening Standard helped...

 

[Albion Dan]

The Evening Standard helped...

I doubt it, nobody read that paper all the time the Lite and the Londonpaper were free.

 

[Insel affe]

The Evening Standard helped...

Yeah thats right, they say jump and i say how high

 

[bigc]

Yeah thats right, they say jump and i say how high

I wasn't accusing you.

Albion Dan, they helped set the agenda...

And the Lite is owned by that lot anyway.

 

[supaseagull]

Yeah thats right, they say jump and i say how high

Always the same - COCKENEYS RUINING the rest of the country four us

.. and seeing as one of them was simply a cut down version of the Evening Standard.

The Evening had a massive impact on the election. In all my years I never seen newspaper coverage like that. A well planned campaign to get rid of Ken.

What you need to understand is that Ken and the Evening Standard have history, they wanted to get him back and did.

thats right did he not call a reporter from the standard a Nazi or something at a party ?

Yep and there were frothing at the mouth to get him back, which they did. That came about because they were running lots of stories about his private life.

A right wing paper like the Standard (which makes the Daily Mail look like the Socialist Worker) was never going to be happy with old Ken. The property section always makes me laugh, they have these features about expensive properties well beyond the means of most Londoners.

.. and the magazine at the weekend, full of stories about the rich and famous.

It's really the local paper for Belgravia and Kensington, with loads of Man United coverage.

Boris has somehow managed to lose so many advisors since he got in I've lost count. But unsurprisingly they are quite happy to give him the soft touch.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

No.

But that's not important. What matters is that everyone thinks he did.

That's how shite journalism works.

The trouble is Boris and ken are both like marmite at the end of the day, theres no middle ground with either and im sorry to say i hated ken.
