livingstone: labour wants me back.



well, it would. he's become as fucking capitalist as bliar and the rest of the shower of shits who run this country.


he said he's 'moved the government's agenda forward during his term as london mayor "more spectacularly" than anywhere else in the country'. spectacular, indeed.



let's review some of the things he's really into these days:

• he introduced 'congestion-charging' in london, a means of taxing us for the use of something for which we have already paid our taxes - roads;


• he has abused the office of mayor about as much as any "new" labourite anywhere in the country - installing his cronies to every post, ignoring democratic principles, doing everything possible to increase party influence and reduce democratic involvement for london's voters;


• he supports p.f.i.s which leave the public owning nothing despite stumping up millions of pounds on schemes to build new schools, hospitals etc;


• he wants to use london's 'congestion-charging' cameras for surveillance of the publics' movement;


• he will, at the drop of a hat, switch off the public access to cameras around london, in order that we can't see, for example, the true size of anti-government demonstrations.

if these are the actions of a true democrat, i'm a mallard drake - see my pretty green neck and curly tail feathers - so he's well-suited to membership of "new" labour, the party of capital and greed.



i wonder if he'll eventually be rewarded with a seat on the board of the filthy, stinking, arms-dealing carlyle group, as our dear liar leader will be when he hands over his job [giving britain to the corporations] to someone else - "blue" ken, perhaps.
