The bumbling is a tactic to disarm you. George Bush used it to great effect. I think it's hard to conceive that the privileged education he's had would produce an idiot.

It's an act - his 'schtik'.

Personally I don't think George Dubbya put it on. However, He did go to university and he trained as a fighter pilot. To be a pilot in peace time is quite an achievment and wings aren't handed out to idiots. He just had extremely stupid advisers. Rumsfeld being one that springs to mind.
His father was a decorated WW2 pilot who was shot down and crashed into the Pacific, so he was no laggard either.

What was the alternative? Pick an opportunistic cunt who never met a terrorist he didn't like?

Isn't Boris's victory just a symptom of the gentrification of London? Hasn't Thatcher's dream finally been realised? Whole swathes of the capital are beyond the means of ordinary people now or to put it another way, Labour supporters have been either driven out, themselves hate Livingstone, or are too dispirited to bother voting.

Inner city council estates are now either owned by, by to let landlords and rented to "Young professionals" or sold off to young high achieving toffs.

One thing all these new Londoners have in common is this: They can be bothered to vote en masse, for the same values.

Maybe Boris is here to stay until he hands the reigns to yet another old Etonian, who seem to have this belief that they have a God given right to rule over us. Livingstone is an anachronism and is right to go. He hails from the era of Band Aid and "Thatchers brutal Britain" when people actually gave a toss for the poor and dispossessed.

Now all the new London toffs want is to try and afford their enormous mortgages in as little discomfort as possible. They expect to pay for everything privately, whether it be health care or nursery education so seeing cuts to welfare and local amenities means nothing to them.

The rotting, stinking, shell of Thatcher has quietly crept back in to power and New Labours total surrender to unfettered capitalism and their total betrayal of the working man and woman, will ensure she and the likes of Boris remain in power more or less unchallenged for the foreseeable future.

As usual, melodramatic, ill-informed rubbish from you.

Livingstone, probably not the best choice for Labour candidate lost by 3%, hardly a huge defeat. Pissing off the Jewish vote didn't help. Being incredibly guarded about his tax didn't help either. Even given these drawbacks, Livingstone halved the percentage he lost by last time round. So in short he was close.

Labour made gains in the Assembly and won 12 to the Tories 9 seats. This was Labour's best Assembly result. There was a 13% swing to Labour in the Assembly elections.

Hardly tallies with your melodramatic tosh, does it?
