Boris

[London_Manila]

As a Londoner i feel that Boris has failed miserably as London Mayor

Yes the deluded public love him as a comical clown but i feel politicians need more than just a few jokes

These Tory Toffs have no idea how real people live in today's UK

They are far removed from normal working people and don't really have a clue as to what's going on

Sorry Graham, but if you feel that the country needs more ex Etonians in Government from their privileged backgrounds then I totally disagree

Cameron has more than enough cronies surrounding him already

Boris bikes = too many killed on London's roads
Boris bus = totally useless overpriced bus and the air con don't work (windows can't be opened)
Boris Island Airport = a total non stater

Made false promises to London's Fire Brigade and London's Underground workers (before he was elected)

Failure to answer the London's assembly members questions properly on a monthly basis
He just sits there and is unaccountable for everything...........

Boris is all about promoting Boris

[tiger31]

I like Boris because he wants out of Europe plus he,s a bit eccentric and I believe the Tories would win a clear majority if he was installed as Prime Minister

Bikes......... How many bikers have been killed on the London roads, and as they're so bad then why are they being introduced across other towns

Bus........... Overpriced? Is that the bus or the fare? Jeepneys are the answer

Airport........ is it really such a bad idea, or is it a reaction to BAA saying they'd shut Heathrow if they didn't get their 3rd runway??

A Boris bus costs £355,000

Actually encouraging people to use bikes in an already congested city and share the same road space with HGVs is fast becoming a bad idea

Of course you living in Maidenhead means you're hardly going to be over the moon about Heathrow's expansion (yes it will happen)

What you nimbys (not in my back yard) dont realize is that everything is already there at Heathrow

Stanstead Gatwick and Luton are not London airports in my book, they are just too far away and 'Boris Island' would be the same

£355,000 for a bus doesn't sound too bad to me, how does this compare to buses in other capital cities

Heathrow expansion is great Planes are getting bigger and quieter all the time, and I hardly notice them. The main advantage of Heathrow expanding is it creates mores jobs, more jobs means greater demand for houses, and with that and Crossrail coming to Maidenhead I'm quids in

Remember there are a few Toffs within other parties also. Having said that, I don't think it's so important what Party is in power any more, I think it's the person running the country that matters!

No hatred against toffs here i just feel the tories have far too many at the moment

I very much doubt that Boris had anything to do with the design of the bus windows...more likely dictated by some petty H&S EU regulation.

None of the modern buses I've travelled on in the past few years have had opening windows.

But...he's an easy target I suppose.

This class hatred really is illogical and outdated.

Nothing to do with class hatred and I actually find Boris amusing sometimes

Is it too much to ask for someone as an MP who is not so out of touch with todays Uk inhabitants

These Tory Toffs only started to get anti immigration because Farage gave them a bloody nose

Of course these old Etonians living in some country estate in the middle of nowhere hardly gives them any idea of what its like to live amongst normal people

I'll agree with that because I used to live rural and never set eyes on any foreigners ever in the area I lived!

OT Arthur, but did you look into Sleep Apnoea like I suggested? I don't recall you mentioning it.

My brother passed the Cambridge entrance exam and was offered a place.

He was also offered a place at Sandhurst.

He decided to take up the offer from the Foreign office, who subsequently sent him to London University.

We are from a working class background and both attended the same schools.

(Don't ask where I went wrong )

Boris WILL become Prime Minister sooner or later - just a matter of time.

[Michael Parnham]

Of course Brian!

[London_Manila]

Boris WILL become prime minister sooner or later - just a matter of time.

I have to agree on that and Cameron probably knows already his days are numbered

[grahamw48]

Yep...UKIP for me.

They're backing Boris too.

One good thing I feel about Local Government Elections ... IS, that you'll find *residents generally tend to cast their vote in favour of the candidate whom *they believe will be most likely to BEST serve the interests of the Council Ward in which *they live, rather than overly concentrate on the person's political banner!

[Michael Parnham]

The problem with local elections I find is that the local candidates names are plastered everywhere but they don't name what party they represent, it would be better if they just named the party to vote for!

[grahamw48]

I'm happy to say that we are in total agreement.

Always knew you were one of the lads

[grahamw48]

Oh I am Jamie.

Worked my way all the way up from the bottom, to almost the top....and then all the way back down again.
