The danger of voting for Ken Livingstone

I have posted about Ken Livingstone's troubling links with Islamist preachers of anti-semitism, homophobia and more and so may have ignored other issues. From Guido Fawkes:

'Bob Crow, the RMT union boss hated by London’s commuters, has put the union’s money behind an attempt to stop the “Not Ken Again“ advertising posters attacking Ken’s cronyism. He is wasting the RMT’s money because all the evidence is that he is Ken’s crony.

Team Ken have deliberately tried to keep London hate-figure Crow and his militant transport union out of the picture at all times during the campaign. Above is a mock-up of what would happen on May 4 if Londoners “Got Ken Again”.

The RMT boss is trying to get the crony posters blocked, yet Ken’s candidate for deputy mayor Val Shawcross is a member of the RMT and supports their strikes. During Livingstone’s first term Bob Crow served on the Transport for London board he chaired between 2002 and 2004. The records show ‘the chair welcomed Bob Crow to his first board meeting’. The favour was well received, last year Crow told LBC “I’ve never been apart from Ken. We have differences like I have with my brother and sister but overall, Ken’s a good bloke. Give us a shout Ken when you want some money”. Spoken like a true crony.'

How can any true Londoner vote for Ken Livingstone?

Thursday morning catch-up - a "No shit, Sherlock!" special

More Firefox tabs that need closing:

1) Total Politics have worked out that the RMT's Bob Crow is something of a hypocrite; no shit, Sherlocks!


2) The Washington Times thinks that

'President Obama is presiding over the end of American dominance in the Middle East. Across the region, U.S. power is receding - and radical Islam is filling the void. Mr. Obama has betrayed our allies and emboldened our enemies. He is slowly helping make the Middle East safe for jihadists, thereby undermining America’s national security.

Contrary to the spin of the mainstream media, the fever that is sweeping the Middle East is not some long-suppressed desire for political liberty. These are not secular democratic revolutions.'

No shit, Sherlocks!


3) Yahoo News report that '49% - Nigerians Support al Qaeda' - No shit, Sherlocks!


4) The Washington Post report that Israel has discovered and mapped 'roughly 1,000 underground bunkers and hidden weapons storage facilities and monitoring sites built by Hezbollah in south Lebanon.' Who would have thought that Hezbollah would have spent the last few years rearming and hardening their defences; it's a shock isn't it?


5) Elvis Nixon realises that CNN has double standards when it comes to Muslims; "No shit, Sherlocks"
