James Cleverly said...: Jimmy,

Why is the left so full of hate?; 24/4/08 23:50
Jimmy said...: I think they hate the thought of somebody so incompetent and prone to insulting foreigners and ethnic minorities running the most multi-cultural city in the world.

As Sian Berry put it: "Boris Johnson has real contempt for Londoners. He hates that we celebrate each other’s heritage; he hates that we try to pass on a healthy environment to our children; he hates that we look after our most vulnerable neighbours; and most of all he hates that we all expect to share in our city’s financial success. And if he’s elected he will do his best to destroy all of that"

Why is Boris so full of hate for all the things that make London great?; 25/4/08 07:52
James Cleverly said...: Jimmy,

I know we often disagree but I know that you are not daft and generally fair.

But the first part of your comment could just as easily be said about Livingstone.

The second part, Sian Berry's quote, is quite clearly rubbish. The assumption that Boris "hates" all those things says more about her than it does about him.

I understand that you may not want Boris to become mayor but I just don't believe that you believe half the things written about him.; 25/4/08 10:52
Jimmy said...: Whether Sian was right or wrong is not really important. My point is that it is easy to accuse each other of 'hate', but really does nothing to address the real issues.

Once you ignore the insults and swearing in the video there is a strong case against Boris that I have consistently argued since before he was selected. This video sums up much of what I have been saying about him.

Has Boris really changed from the man who had to apologise for every second sentence? Well, apparently not.

You need a mayor who is not daft and is generally fair (not just blond), let me know if you are so desperate for a candidate in another four years ;-); 25/4/08 11:56

The zaNuLab/lib/green party appears to be the party of hatred and/or self-hatred. It is a profoundly depressing party.
I assume James has a fairly well tuned radar when it comes to racism.
Why is the Left Party so utterly patronizing?
Do some people in the Left Party sometimes realise how absurd the stereotypes in their minds are?

Vote 4 Boris! Vote 4 James!
Love 2 Vote 4 Love!; 25/4/08 16:23
