Default Question Time tonight

Boris has probably given a good few votes away due his boffoonery tonight!

Paddick is the only winner thus far, with Ken holding his own.

Bad night for the Tory idiot - Cameron must be crying on this performance from, er............ Boris. What a **** tonight - own goal

Boris was much better than he was on Paxman a week back. And he combed his hair

Paddick just looks like the stereotypical copper. Completely humourless

Ken is the professional at this sort of thing


I think Boris might edge it but Ken would probably be better for London. Paddick hasn't a snowball's.

Boris did himself no favours but as he is up against a socialist scum bucket and a bent copper, he should win by about 7.5 million votes or thereabouts... It's all down to the votes I reckon.
I agreed with the lady who asked why only those 3 were on the "panel" and not the BNP (and other 6 or so candidates)... If the voting card asks for a second choice, most peoples will be for one of the minority parties... I would vote for Boris and the next "further right of the tories party" eg UKIP...
I like voting.

The BBC (Blair Broadcasting Corporation) and Question Time has to be the most politically biased programme i have ever seen who hand pick the audience. Normally these are left wing nutters who eat leaves. Dont believe me? go on the website and apply (as i did) it asks you for your political prefrence blah, blah.

Needless to say i didn't hear a peep out of them. Why do you think Red Ken was getting the support from a lot of the audience.

Boris may be as mad as a box of frogs but i genuinely believe he would do a better job then Ken

This is the reply i got off him from a recent online chat at The Sun...

Congestion Charge - plans for the future?
Hi Boris

Most of the people or Londoners i speak to are against the congestion charge, they feel as i do that it is bad for business as people are now refusing to come into London unless they have to.

This is made worse if you have a car with a higer co2 output.

What are your plans for this as it seems an unpopular taxtation against the motorist.

Regards

Re:Congestion Charge - plans for the future?
I will reduce the burden of the congestion charge by allowing you to pay by monthly account - rather than being clobbered by fines.

I will put the western extension out to a proper democratic consultation - and if the people of west London decide against it, I will scrap it.

I will NOT extend the zone.

I will NOT increase the charge.

I will use new technology to make it fairer, so that small businesses who need to use the zone don't have to pay as much as a juggernaut that crosses London 8 times a day.

And I will NOT impose the ludicrous £25 charge on family vehicles.

It makes no environmental sense, and according to the Mayor's own advisers it would actually increase congestion AND pollution, since he wants many more smaller cars in the zone for free.'


Maybe not the answer that i'd hoped i.e. scrapping it but a step in the right direction!!!!

I hope thats a tongue in cheek comment
He is a shocking man, with no morals, no interest in London or Londoners, who lies and cheats his way through each term.

Promises and Lies seems to be his manifesto title.

Even admitting he is not really interested in the Olympics as a whole, but "conned" the government into bidding so he could get the money for East London regeneration.

7 3/4 billion is what he says it will cost to build now, but look at the countless billions being spent on other things due to the Olympics being in London.... like the 1/2 - 1 billion for security and policing for 3 weeks !

Boris really does not do live debate too well, and is a disappointment everytime I must admit. Ken in reality does no better, he dodges the questions as much, and says what people want to hear.

Brian Paddick does indeed do well each time. But some of his ideas are not really on par with my line of thinking. Also happens to be the other halfs best mates uncle (how bizarre lol).

So I think I know how I will vote on polling day.

Seeing the back of Ken would truely be refreshing for London. Maybe not perfection, but giving the other guy another chance is what I wanna see, just like No10.

Boris was truly awful wasnt he - had to post that as I am still thinking about it today. Absolute pants.

What are these clever people that want to run the country and tell us what to do playing at with these terrible and common sense devoid decisions such as putting Boris up and getting rid of the 10p tax rate? Do they want Ken to stay (who thrives on making Londoners lives more miserable and more costly, and fining them at every turn ) and the very poorest to get poorer? ?????

I find it incomprehensible and am thinking of buying a wigwam, washing less and going on benefits!!!!!
