He did rather more for some parts of London than others and the way in which he threw money at certain groups and communities with precious little scrutiny and oversight was scandalous. Livingstone only ever listened to people who agreed with him and didn't mind indulging in his own form of stereoytyping when it suited.
This time he was rumbled - the hypocrisy and porkies caught up with him at last.
Good riddance to Livingstone.
