Hull resident probably won't get the London Mayor he wanted
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/may/03/london-mayor-and-local-elections-2012-live-polling-day-coverage#block-39
QUOTE: In London, a YouGov poll showed Boris Johnson, the Tory candidate and current mayor, on 53% to 47% for Ken Livingstone, his Labour rival and predecessor. Livingstone has proved less popular than his party, while Johnson has proved more popular... ENDQUOTE "...more popular...". Yes, there's such a thing as counting your chickens, etc. |

Kingston upon Hull City Council is Labour controlled and very anti car and pro public transport and cycling. Win - win as the late Matt B used to say. -- Simon Mason |

He repeatedly said that he was wasting BP's time; and not his own time - like other posters were. After the BP AGM in April 2012 Mason suddenly stopped posting from a BP IP address. People have asked why - but he won't say :-) |
