...if you live in London, dont vote fucking Boris Johnson.
Boris was in the Guardian Weekend Q&A this weekend, but instead of giving interesting answers, half of them just treated the interview as a key part of his campaign, citing the trait he most deplores in others as "the arrogant waste of London taxpayers money". I also loved the answer to "what would your super power be?"="super-freeze ability to cool down the planet. say goodbye to global warming gloom" he clearly doesnt understand the problem in any depth (as admittedly lots of people dont-but a potential mayor of London should!). Climate change is something Ken Livingstone is extremely strong on. Its well worth a read
Here are just a few of the lovely views the supposedly harmless bumbling old fool off Have I Got News For You has:
On Gay Marriage: "if gay marriage was OK - and I was uncertain on the issue - then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men, or indeed three men and a dog."
On Liverpudlians: "deeply unattractive psyche", and at the Hillsborough disaster, "drunken fans at the back of the crowd who mindlessly tried to fight their way into the ground"
On Papua New Guinea: "Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing"
On Jamie Oliver: "I say let people eat what they like. Why shouldn't they push pies through the railings?" at the same conference David Cameron lauded his campaign as "social responsibility in action"
On Portsmouth: "one of the most depressed towns in Southern England, a place that is arguably too full of drugs, obesity, underachievement and Labour MPs"
On Tony Blairs visits to the 3rd world: "the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief"
and finally to the BBC Asian Network
I'm down with the ethnics. You can't out-ethnic me. My children are a quarter Indian, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Ken Livingstone transport policies are second to none, and he promises to "Take over Tube contracts from Metronet, improve trains, invest more in cycling and walking, expand police teams, 24-hour Freedom pass, 500 more hybrid buses by 2010" where Boris' main transport investment would be large increases in policing.

Dont let Boris Johnson in, vote Ken!
