• Video: Boris Welcomes the Games, Cassetteboy brilliance

  This is really, really lovely. God bless cassetteboy.

   

• Mayor Johnson on the Letterman Show

  Our Mayor has been touting London’s wares in the US. Part of this involved appearing on Letterman, which is about as embarrassing as you might expect – no more, no less. I have no idea what they must think of us.

   

• Music: The State of Boris Johnson

  There’s some lovely singing on this Sack Boris video. Apparently it is a “play on Phil Ochs’ song “Here’s to the State of Mississippi””

   

• Why I’m voting Boris as my second preference: Lawrence Webb

  This is the first of a short series this week where we look at the way people are voting SECOND preference in the coming Mayoral election. Lawrence Webb, UKIP’s Mayoral candidate, (pictured) explains why he’s voting for Boris Johnson, after UKIP. I believe that if the voting system were better […]

   

• Video: What a waste (of a Mayoralty)

  A nice little campaign video from Sack Boris, the unaffiliated anti-Johnson group. A toe tapper, if a little focused on the negative.

Investigations have subsequently shown that there has been significant corruption, […]

   

• Do we have answers on People’s Question Time?

  Dave Mentiply wonders how open to questioning the Mayor really is.   In his 2008 manifesto pledge to make London more accountable (pdf), Boris Johnson criticised Ken Livingstone’s attitude towards the People’s Question Time. He vowed to increase its frequency to a minimum of four each year thereby giving Londoners a […]

   

• Music: We said you wouldn’t do it, but you made Boris Mayor

  Be warned, there is swearing in this song, as you’d expect. A rousing chorus for those who’s main aim in May is to end the rule of Mayor Johnson, but please do remember you have two preferences in the Mayoral election, first and second, and there are equally important London […]
