This is, I take it, the same londonpaper that's owned by Rupert Murdoch and produced from the same Wapping stable as those liberal rags The Sun, The News of the World and The Times? Okey-doke.

If you think that's unacceptable, you should have seen some of the specious nonsense the Evening Standard printed about Livingstone.

It's not a "commissioned vox pop column" you idiot. You email the address at the bottom and offer your writing. It's an extended fucking letter.

Sorry Dizzy. Didn't realise you were dyslexic...!

There's a difference between a letters page and a commissioned vox pop column.

But I've never stood for election, not even as a paper candidate, so what would I know?

Anonymous, i was merely pointing out that the article looked like an astroturf article. As for neutrality, it was on page 2 of the same paper that it said it. You are aware that sending letters into a paper is standard practice in a campaign right?

Sorry Dizzy - Boris is a joke candidate. He will be a disaster if elected. At least Ken has a record of achievement, even if he is a "hold your nose when you vote" candidate.

The second "to" in the headline should be "too", but whoo cares?

So you seriously think the Livingstone campaign put someone up to write thelondonpaper's vox pop column yesterday?

I read the column and thought it was making a fair point: that the future of the capital is too serious to be decided merely on an assessment of which candidate would be more "hilarious" in public office.

And much as it may pain you, Dizzy, people are entitled to political views which are at variance with your own, and are entitled to have them published. If you thought that thelondonpaper was showing a form of bias (and I have to say I wasn't aware of its obligation or its commitment to neutrality in the campaign), then avoid reading Time Out at all costs, as it could seriously damage your health.

Ah, the joys of pedantry. There are two instances of 'to' in the headline:

'to kick' - Yes, like that.

'to soon - Prefer 'too soon'.

C'mon, hit me with your best shots, anon and Phil.

He isn't a bad mayor.. He wasn't as bad as predicted.But in no way a FAIR Mayor. very very pro Islam anti Jew. Pro Penalties, anti 'ease of use' etc.

But his time has come and gone. N One and NO Party should stand for more than 2 terms.

If you haven't achieved what you set out to do in 8 - 10 years then you should scamper off in shame anyway.

Far better to do a final speech about 'All these great works' and 'I hand over a country/city in far better shape than I found it..' etc, recommend a successor and then bugger off to watch cricket or head up the EU or campaign for your wife or whatever else you fancy.

I have also blogged on this issue, at the "minus one" (day) stage, HERE. I think it is a reasonable and -- hopefully -- informed contribution to the London Mayoralty issue.

The correct outcome would be a Boris victory, as it is the only realistic way to improve London. That's it, really: everything else becomes mere detail, to be tackled after the reult is announced.

o/t, but what relevance does this parliamentary question have for the blogosphere?

"Mr Siôn Simon (Birmingham, Erdington): To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what his Department's policy is on blogging by prisoners."

2008-05-01T12:20:00.000+01:00

"I think you need to learn how to spell, Dizzy. The title should say 'too' and not 'to.' "

Erm, no it shouldn't. That doesn't make sense.

"London gets its chance to kick Livingstone too" is fine, but it implies that others are kicking Livingstone.

Or, "London gets its chance to kick Livingstone".

2008-05-01T12:15:00.000+01:00

I noticed that on the following page from Ken's ad, was a Govt-funded ad telling you that you should go out and vote.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

That's because I don't proof read, make typos and am also dyslexic. It's not just lately it's always.

I think you need to learn how to spell, Dizzy. The title should say 'too' and not 'to.'

Your blog has been riddles with spelling errors lately. Sort it out!

The Evening Standard also did a spectacular demolition job on the congestion charge, showing that it has essentially raised next to nothing since it began and all the extra buses have just come from additional subsidies.

Good luck, London. The world is watching.
