How absurd. He is quite easily the best serving politician in this country.

Also it seems very worrying that a minority pressure group has been able to remove a democratically elected leader...

What the BBC story doesn't say...

This journalist works for the Evening Standard (sister paper to the Daily Mail... need I say more). He was waiting outside a party celebrating the anniversary of the coming out of the first openly gay MP, to take photographs of those in attendance. Presumably the idea was to write a right wing article condemning such a gathering, and those in attendance.

I concur

I won't pretend i know much about Mr Livingstone, or his work, but that seems a tad harsh. Some people (particularly the Jews) can be a bit over-sensitive sometimes.

Taken from the Grauniad

"Mr Livingstone derides the Standard as the Evening Meldrew, saying it takes a negative view of London and his activities. However, his hatred of the Daily Mail goes back much further. He cites the paper as one of his main tormentors during his leadership of the GLC in the 1980s.


The tape

The Standard yesterday published a transcript of taped exchanges between the mayor and its reporter:

Oliver Finegold: Mr Livingstone, Evening Standard. How did tonight go?

Ken Livingstone: How awful for you. Have you thought of having treatment?

OF: How did tonight go?

KL: Have you thought of having treatment?

OF: Was it a good party? What does it mean for you?

KL: What did you do before? Were you a German war criminal?

OF: No, I'm Jewish, I wasn't a German war criminal and I'm actually quite offended by that. So, how did tonight go?

KL: Arr right, well you might be [Jewish], but actually you are just like a concentration camp guard, you are just doing it because you are paid to, aren't you?

OF: Great, I have you on record for that. So, how was tonight?

KL: It's nothing to do with you because your paper is a load of scumbags and reactionary bigots.

OF: I'm a journalist and I'm doing my job. I'm only asking for a comment.

KL: Well, work for a paper that doesn't have a record of supporting fascism. "

Sounds fair enough to me.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I was talking about Red Ken young Rich!, Livingstone is all for the Muslim fanatics.  :evil:

i do hate the muslim fanatics myself! i dont like the fact that livingstone supports terrorism against his own country! isn't that a form of treason? it should be! he shouldn't be in this job for that reason too!

I hate jews more than muslims so I think he's a legend.
