He stands out certainly but as a politician? Sacked from the Tory front bench and repeatedly making offensive comments that makes Phil the Greek (Duke of Edinburgh) look saintly. His deputy (Ray Lewis) was forced to resign over over corruption with a month of being appointed. As this is his first serious job he's a long way from proving he's outstanding.Heysham_Shrimp wrote:I think Seb Coe had rather more to do with winning the Olympic games than Red Ken.

Ken was in Singapore as a key part of the lobbying group including Coe and Blair. By all accounts it took all of them to secure individual votes from different IOC delegates. I'm sure persuading the Venezualan delegate to vote London had more to do with Ken's links with Hugo Chavez than a couple of gold medals. Still, don't let facts get in the way of populist sloganeering.

Shouldn't that read "was forced to resign over allegations of corruption"? Especially as he has vigerously denied them and suggested it was a smear campaign, for which even Ken Livingstone offered support after he had also 'been the victim' of. I'm guessing that somewhere along the line 'innocent until proven guilty' also comes in to play?

Quite...

All three are inept. Blears is a brown-nosing dwarf who defends the indefensible, Kelly I dislike for being led more by her devout Catholicism than her political beliefs (not dis-similar to Geraldine Smith).Heysham_Shrimp wrote:Mandelson has been sacked from the Cabinet twice for more serious reasons than Boris's foot in mouth remarks and he is back in for a 3rd time!
I don't like Mandelson but in the same you defend Boris Johnson he's actually very good at what he does despite annoying the hell out of people - he's worth about 20 Hazel Blears. A very divisive appointment though - if brave.
