And the other one was why you think Ken IS the man for the job and a "great asset"
Guess we will never know the answers to these questions as you dont appear to have them. However thank you for bringing the debate to the table for others to discuss, and possibly bringing Boris to the attention of a few others.

I'd vote for a gay, demented, retarded squirrel rather than give Ken the nod.
The CC charge and the introduction of bendy buses are just two areas that have made traffic worse in London. I get free travel in and around London but would be really pissed off if I didn't as it's sooooooooooooo expensive.
It has always been expensive to travel around London, but since Ken came in it has also become even slower to get anywhere and even more expensive.
He bows down to the racial relations thing so much that he has actually become racist.
He's a joke with no respect from anyone anymore.

Spoken like a person that travels to and thru London daily!
Have to agree totally mate, without a shadow of a doubt.
£2 for a single bus journey regardless of number of stops. Or £1 if you conform and use an Oyster card. Rip off.
London could be SO much better, with so little effort and focus in the right places.

Those ***** should all be sacked. The tube should be fully taken away from any union control. It takes the **** that the most important transport infrastructure can be held to ransom by so few.
Any prospective mayor worth his salt should make taking the tube and making it work a priority.

Work there and drive around the streets daily. Nightmare - even with the light and sirens going.

I rarely use the tube system, but have a few friends who work for it, and have to say a LOT of money seems to get thrown down the drain.
As for the striking... annoys the hell out of me, and is SO blatently almost blackmail its untrue.

Seeing ambulances and police cars having to base themselves on street corners to be close enough to the hot spots in the West End etc.
Its all wrong, and so badly managed by our mighty mayor.
Boris to me actually sounds like he has a passion for London. Not sure why, could just be gulible, but I believe him.

Pete, I will do you a deal on this..... if Red ken beats Boris at the poll's then I will back-up everything you ever spout, regardless of how much it is utter ****e, but if Boris beats Ken then you have to hang yourself, by the neck, from a tree and have one of your mates (if you have any) film it and stick it on youtube for everyone to rejoice at.

Anyway. I really hope the majority voice is heard next time round and we do actually get what WE want, not what we are given.

To be honest, I have searched and cannot find a good word to say about him - so, therefore Boris will win and we can all rejoice - oh, except me, who doesn't give a ****

As someone quoted once.
MP's are bafoons pretending to be politicians
Boris is a serious man, pretending to be a bafoon.
He dares to break to mold, yet is not an extremist
Refreshing, liked, and much needed.

Thus Spake Boris...
A selection of Boris quotes, as a foretaste of what we can all look forward to:
On Big Brother
''I didn't see it, but it sounds barbaric. It's become like ****-fighting: poor dumb brutes being set upon each other by conniving television producers.''
On Euro-hysteria
''I can hardly condemn UKIP as a bunch of boss-eyed, foam-flecked Euro hysterics, when I have been sometimes not far short of boss-eyed, foam-flecked hysteria myself.''
On Tony Blair
''It is just flipping unbelievable. He is a mixture of Harry Houdini and a greased piglet. He is barely human in his elusiveness. Nailing Blair is like trying to pin jelly to a wall''
On Needless Over-Protection
''Individually, police officers are fantastic, brave people, and so are the paramedics. But when they have to leave people dying because of a Health and Safety Act policy, they must be starting to wonder where things are going''
On Nepotism
''Any seat would be mad not to take him. He's a terrific chap.#'' Boris, on his father, Stanley Johnson's plans to become an MP''
On Channel 5 (Five)
''I don't see why people are so snooty about Channel 5. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into la-dancing, and other related and vital subjects''
On Privatisation
''It is only now, says Blair, that the terrible effects of botched privatisation are being felt on the nation's arteries, just as a heart attack patient spectacularly collapses after eighteen blissful years of eating pork pies''
On Cars and Mobile Phones
''I don't believe that talking on a mobile phone while driving a car is any more dangerous than the many other things that people do with their free hands while driving - nose-picking, reading the paper, studying the A-Z, beating the children, and so on''
On Taxis
''As anyone who has tried using a black cab in London recently will know, it is now cheaper to take a flight from Stansted to the Canaries than it is to go from Highbury to Westminster''
On Anndrew Gilligan
''I think the reason there is all this beastliness towards Gilligan is because he is not particularly good looking''' concerning the BBC-Hutton Report
On George W. Bush
''The President is a cross-eyed Texan warmonger, unelected, inarticulate, who epitomises the arrogance of American foreign policy''
On Feral Children
''There are far too many feral children running around [in Islington] because there are far too few police, etc., on our streets''
On Reincarnation and Premiership
''My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive''
On Big Brother
''I didn't see it, but it sounds barbaric. It's become like ****-fighting: poor dumb brutes being set upon each other by conniving television producers.''
On Euro-hysteria
''I can hardly condemn UKIP as a bunch of boss-eyed, foam-flecked Euro hysterics, when I have been sometimes not far short of boss-eyed, foam-flecked hysteria myself.''

So you have said, but you have not said WHY you think he is a joke. What exactly helps you form that well informed opinon ?
Just wondering
And as I have said about 6 times now, in your opinion Ken is an asset... how so?
Real simple questions really.
As for the quotes, I love em.

The reasons that Boris is a clown are numerous and some are detailed above ....
The reasons that Ken is an asset are a bit unclear ....
Hence, Boris should be Mayor of London - as only Clowns ever go there!!

Its not that he accidently says stupid things that he cant back up (like some) Its that he chooses to use memorable phrases, and become more and more popular with each comment.
So .... after all this so far, you actually have no reason that Boris is a clown NOR any backing to Ken being an asset.
A somewhat flawed thread me thinks.
Either way, we have discovered something. For those that actually know, matter and have to endure Ken Deadlystone..... No one seems to like him, most want him out, and it appears someone who might just do it, has challenged for the office.
Im glad to see this much support for Boris, and hope a few more realise how much of an asset he actually is. An asset that can actually be backed up.
