He is a former MEP, and an employee of the World Bank and the European Commission.

I'd say he's rather qualified.

For more than 3 seconds before I vomit.

Also, well done, a small dog could spank Polly Toynbee in an argument. It doesn't stop Littlejohn being a despicable human being

I watched it all the way through.

everyone who dislikes boris does so because of his WACKY PERSONA. and everyone who likes ken is blind to his RAMPANT CORRUPTION.

sigh.

1) Any policies in his manifesto that are halfway decent are watered down versions of what Ken was either going to do or is about to do anyway. Anything else is either unaffordable or will be seen to be unrealistic and silly when actually attempted (bendy buses, for instance).
2) Pretty much every job he's ever done he's been fired from for incompetence. He has huge conflicts of interest from businesses in the capital who will want to take advantage of it. He has a history of dodgy dealings easily the equal of Ken. I could go on, but these things have been said many times already.

In short, there are two possible outcomes of Mayor Boris - the first is that he does what's in his manifesto, in which case it's nothing like the kind of action London actually needs, or secondly he's as incompetent in the position as he has been in everything else and ends up fucking the whole thing up.

He's a terrible, terrible candidate regardless of the party he's running for. I can't understand how even Conservatives can see him as a good choice except in a Ken-beating capacity. The man's a crook and a fool, with outdated and often offensive ideas. That people vote for him seriously worries me.
