You seem to be overlooking what I'm saying to you, so your argument is a little off balance.
Those new fines are just that, new. When did they come in and how long before that was he ripping people off?

'Yawn' is a crap argument, which is what all your arguments have been in this thread... not arguments at all in fact, just assertions.

No, I say Yawn because I easily get bored of people who believe they are so right all the time that they don't take on board other peoples arguments.
It's the kind of false attitude that got Ken himself voted out. It's no surprise you wanted him back in.

Same goes for Nick's, and it seems to be par for the course for those who dislike Livingstone.

So you keep asserting.

That's why he's been voted out - people don't have many very good reasons for it, but they have a vague sense that he's not to be trusted.

I won't argue that may be true in a lot of cases, but so is the fact it's a bit silly lumping everyone into the same category, just because you disagree with their political beliefs.

Well, the result is, we've now got Boris Johnson, and if you think - bizarrely - that Livingstone was somehow working against the interests of the working classes, you're in for a bit of an awakening.

Maybe, maybe not. I'll decide in four years time how I think he's done and vote accordingly. This is a democracy after all is it not?
