For this and other things the press hated Ken and waged a smear campaign against him...
At last they fooled enough stupid people to vote against him...and who do with have now, a fool, but a rich fool, product of the elite schools, he'll do what he's told and fuck us all up the arse
If he'd have gone to a state school he be working in a Tesco stacking shelves....
But if your rich in our fair land its all up for grabs

I think the fact that he actually uses the public transport system was one of the most valuable things about him as a mayor. Almost day one he made the one day travel cards valid on the night buses when they previously hadn't been. Now, that is small to some people, I know, but to me it showed me he understood the issues of the system even if he wasn't given full control of the tube, etc.
Boris is a cyclist which could have been one of the few good things about him as mayor but he is playing the motorist card in the suburbs (I live in one that he played well). I wonder when the last time he used a bus other than the campaign one.
