Argh. I truly believe that Ken is the only person likely to make any headway at all on sorting out the transport chaos caused by the Metronet fuck-up - which COULD have been avoided if he'd been allowed to do what he wanted with transport in the first place and not been forced into the mess of PPP! My only concern is whether he gets my first concern or my second, since the Greens are actually fielding a candidate this time round and Sian seems to have some good policies. As a more-than-nominal Green, I ought to consider voting for her, and it's annoying that Ken hasn't done a vote-trading deal with the Greens, as he did last time round - he shouldn't have annoyed them with that "cheap oil from Venezuela" thing!
I was sympathetic to Brian until I found out that he supported the extension of detention without to charge to 60 days. No way. No fucking way. Our civil liberties have been eroded quite enough already, thank you so much.
Boris? Seriously? The idea that's he's seen as the main opposition is laughable - he has barely any real policies, and those he has are horrifying. I think I'd rather cut off my own right hand than vote for the man who wants to REMOVE the requirement to build affordable housing in London! WTFF!! And his stupidity on transport issues shows he knows very little about them - I say this as someone who worked for TfL for 5 years, on and off.
