Good to see the Brits finally come to their senses.

Even if the new mayor is “eccentric,” he just has to be better than Red Ken.

[Farmer Dean]

The Brits should put old Kenny boy in the stocks for a few weeks.Tar and feathering would also be an appropriate send-off for the jerk.

I just found this quote from him, he is now my favorite British politician:
“It is time to reassert British values…That means disposing of the first taboo, and accepting that the problem is Islam. Islam is the problem. To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture — to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques — it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions. The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? “When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass?”[44]

I fail to see a problem.
