BLUE BORIS VS RED KEN...

I note that Boris Johnson has confirmed that he will stand against Ken Livingstone for the position of Mayor of London. Johnson is a somewhat eccentric but media-friendly member of the Conservative Party. I hope he wins. There are many things that I do not like about Boris but compared to the snivelling anti-British hateful toad Livingstone, Boris is a much more acceptable alternative.The thing is that I wonder whose side the London MSM will take? Will it be wacky gaffe prone Boris the toff or will it be cuddly newt-loving Ken, the terrorists friend?

Boris can count on the Evening Standard, which may well prove to be a powerful friend.

Expect Ken to go into Mullah hugging overdrive to woo the Ethnic vote,

I suspect in his engagement with key demographic groups he will seek to motivate voter passion by playing up to racial division and perceptions of artifical inequlity.

The London media will go for Boris David they hate Ken Livingstone.

Alison,

That's good news.

Henry,

Yes, Ken will play the Islam/Ethnic card but is it going to be strong enough. Will the Imams back him?

[Henry Antrim]

if behaviour patterns in Europe can be taken as gauge, then a pro welfare, anti semite and pro liberal imigration candadate will be required voting in the mosques all over the region.

I doubt very much that Boris stands a chance of winning but I do hope he gets it.

I think he has blown it already (news tonight)

Everyone deserves to see Boris making a speech to welcome the world to the London Olympics
