Is this good or bad? Methinks it is very, very bad news...

So let me see if I have got this right :-

Ken stood for Mayor as he believed that power needed to be devolved from Central Government.
He then takes powers from London Boroughs and centralises it.

is it me?

Re: More power for Ken Livingstone

The man is dangerous - a power-crazed idiot with a sh*t attitude. And might I add, he really IS a racist IMO.

Re: More power for Ken Livingstone

Ken is a politician. If he is offered power, he will take it.

Of course, that doesn't mean that him having that power is justifiable or right for London, but at long as he gets the votes, he doesn't care.

I don't think he cares about anything except himself. He courts controversy, and embraces fame of any kind. The man is a complete ar*e IMO. One of the worst things to ever happen to London.
