A kind reader sent this pic of Pooter and our buffoon of a Mayor looking towards the Crossrail site. Typically, Pooter pointed Bozo in the wrong direction..... This is the image Pooter intends to use for his rendering in oils....silly fool!
The saddest thing about this photo is that it is quite literally all pretend. A Crossrail station has actually been off the cards ever since the Council expressed absolutely no interest in any station anywhere when Crossrail was first mooted and then approved. That the Council then had a (sudden and mysterious) change of heart at the 13th hour meant very little when everyone else had already moved on and actually started building the thing.
Of course this hasn't stopped the Council pretending otherwise and proceeding to squander tens of thousands of pounds, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds, paying consultants to produce report after report suggesting a station was still possible when it clearly wasn't. A shocking waste of taxpayer's money in an age of austerity when the Council has terminated much used and valued services for less.
Matthew...you must not tell lies otherwise we might conclude you are the councillor who got into a muddle over the use of the Conservative Association telephones. It's an easy thing to do racking hundreds of pounds calling mates in Oz and then forgetting to pick up the tab..... But back to the point....The Dame has never endorsed Livingstone. She holds him in even greater contempt that Johnson. The Dame has never forgotten Johnson's conversation with Guppy on the subject of beating up a troublesome journo. Johnson is a fraud and Livingstone a Provo supporter. Both are bad eggs.
Supporting Boris or Livingstone as Mayor of London is hardly a party political matter. Neither have been very popular with the upper echelons of their respective parties. Voting for a London Mayor is about identifying with the personal style of the candidate rather than party.The job is largely public relations.
Why do we need the office of Mayor of London anyway; yet another tier of bureucracy?.
The two individuals who have been in post have been pretty hopeless, both extravagent and incompetent. In my view it should come under DCMS and a small team to promote London in a positive way.

The right or the wrong direction? We need to know!
ReplyDeleteThe photo session was managed by the useless Hornton Street PR Department.
DeleteFitzpatrick had a bad night, the night before. But everyone is allowed to have an "off" day
DeleteIs Fitz still around?
DeleteThe wrong way. No surprise there!

What the hell's happened to Boris's hair? It looks very odd. Was this photo taken before the "fluffing" experiment?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Fitzpatrick wasn't the only one who'd had a bad night ...
DeleteDame, has Cllr Cockell "let it be known" that he would like his portrait painted?
ReplyDeleteYou would have thought the mugshot next to the stairs would have sufficed.
Delete"and our buffoon of a Mayor"
ReplyDeleteI do not recall the Hornet saying anything this abusive about Livingstone - clearly Hornet is a Labour publication
The Hornet was around before the London Mayoral election in 2008?
DeleteNo but it did endorse Livingstone 2 years ago

Matthew and Boris....a duo of buffoons!

ReplyDeleteVery true. A sad state of affairs where personality appears to count more than policies among the electorate.
