Ken's South American jaunt
The Mayor of London will shortly be returning from his South American holiday. What has he achieved?
The aim of Ken’s trip was to secure cut priced oil for London transport in return for expert advice over civil matters. However, this trade deal would occur at the expense of Venezuelans, more than £27,000 poorer than the average Londoner. If this deal had been successful, these people would have been further impoverished by a cut in the oil revenue. However the Mayor failed to even reach Venezuela, let alone complete the deal.
London has a few questions for Ken:
What position is he in to give advice abroad considering his failure to solve problems with transport and spiraling crime in his own city?
Preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games face the problems of vicious political infighting and an overblown budget. So why was he not at work?
When did the Mayor of London become a diplomatic position?
I do not believe that Londoners should have to pay for Ken to dabble in foreign policy…do you?

The whole thing was a total farce. The problem is that Ken makes not only himself but London look stupid.
Time for a change!

Junkets galore; always the same when people aspire to power.

The strange fact is that Ken thinks that there is nothing reprehensible about using Londoner's money on a failed publicity campaign in South America.
Have you had any answers to your questions, Mrs Borwick? I have one more to add: Just how much did it all cost and since it was a total farce, shouldn't Ken pay for it himself?

A ridiculous exercise in self aggrandisment at our expense. Lets have a well thought through, coordinated effort to kick him out.
Its time for the Red Head
