red Ken who is so far to the left he probably posts on here.

He is soft left

He wouldnt pass the test.

You would probably pass the BNP test mind

No need for that!

You all sound like Gordon Brown. If they don't agree with you, your a bigot.

When you compare him to Cameron, Clegg and Milliband he at least gets people talking about him. Those other three would send you to sleep while you were standing up.

 

[SWP's back]

In a July 2009 interview with Stephen Sackur on the BBC programme HARDtalk, Johnson referred to the £250,000 per annum income he receives from his side job as a columnist for The Daily Telegraph as "chicken feed," suggesting that he wrote the columns "as a way of relaxation ... on a Sunday morning," and that he wrote "very fast" so the columns did not take time away from his duties as Mayor.[152] These comments were widely criticised due to the fact that the UK was at the time in economic recession and £250,000 is roughly 10 times the current average yearly wage for a worker in the UK.[153]

Here is a nice snippit of info, he just seems a buffoon who is always one word from putting his foot in it. Just spouts a load of waffle and ends up making comments about things where there is no need to cause a stir, like insulting liverpool and portsmouth. He will never be PM or a cabinet minister (because I doubt any PM would trust him not backstab and plot against them or just generally not be caught acting like the dickhead is) so the biggest job he will ever is Mayor of London; okay quite alot of power but those cockey tossers voted him in twice so they deserve all they get.

In the choice for Mayor it was either Boris or red Ken who is so far to the left he probably posts on here.

Let it go,you racist bore.

You can't fault his accuracy on that though.

I'd love Boris to be PM just to see the cluster fuck of a melt down in the Cellar.

So did Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot.

He's a big personality and famous. He would probably win X Factor.
He's popular for being popular. That, sadly, is the entire answer to your question.

Not sure I agree with that bit. He's more astute than many in the media give him credit and certainly intellectually more capable than the image painted of him as a buffoon and toff. He's ferociously self-aggrandising, I grant you, but he manages to be so in a manner that somehow finds genuine appeal with the core constituents in the south of England, and they often decide who will lead the Conservatives.

I agree, people on bluemoon taking people at face value, well I never! I don't really like the chap but he is a very astute and clever operator, and the people of London seem to like him

As good a reason as any to dislike the toffee nosed tosser

I always find it very strange that people regard The Cellar as left-wing. I don't think it is. It's finely balanced between right-wing fuckwits, reasonable pragmatic classic liberals the middle, old school Labour left, and a few wacky ideologues of different stripes.

So its OK to make a statement that derides the left. Im much further to the left than Livingstone and always have been but if i make a counter claim to where i believe the wum W12 stands on the political spectrum im wrong?

No probs mate, i will leave the debate.
