Quite possibly one of the my favourite politicians. For those of you who don't know he is The Lord Mayor of London. He deserves a lot of credit. For one he's succesfully introduced the congestion charging scheme which has cut traffic and road accidents in London by about 30%.


He's got some totally rocking opinions. He hates SUV drivers with a passion, he was annoyed with people who concreted over their gardens for extra car parking spaces and now I've just read this article in the Guardian (well of course -who else would publish it?) about his hatred for the Daily Mail/Evening Standard.

Now everyone knows that the Daily Mail is a racist, dispicable rag that sells far too well, but Ken's risking his career to say this in public. Way to go Ken!

He's currently involved in a shit slinging contest because he likened one of the Evening Standard reporters to a concentration camp guard. I really hope that Ken's career survives this - he's a great politician and I wish that there were more like him.

And whilst I'm posting links to Guardian articles; this one made me chuckle this morning: We can make this marriage work
