Ken is a very brash figure and the one thing I hate about him the most is how arrogant he is. We have been hearing all night that Labour are out of touch but Red Ken is the out-of-touch King. Livingstone is the socialist- he is the sort of man who should be delivering on social cohesion both financially and in safety. Though a report came out a couple of weeks ago that a majority of children in inner London live in poverty whilst serious crime and more to the point the perception of serious crime in the capital is escalating out of all proportions- against that backdrop we have Livingstone banging on about the environment constantly spending an awful lot of time on CO2 emmisions and congestion. He also has a very big mouth regarding foreign affairs which he has no remit for which does nothing for the smooth running of London- just search him online and see the comments he has made regarding Israel, Hugo Chavez, the Americans etc. etc. etc.

This is just a small snapshot.
