NICE predicts electric car sales increase under new London mayor
2008-05-05 06:26:00 Now that the city of London has voted out "red Ken" in favor of Conservative candidate Boris Johnson, it is expected that the congestion charge scheme may undergo some changes. One electric car company, NICE (No Internal Combustion Engine), is showing no fear and is sounding positive about the future with their new mayor. They are even predicting increased business in the coming year. Julian Wilford, co-founder of the London-based company, states, "We know that Boris recognises the many benefits of owning an electric car," in a press release that extends an invitation to the politician to give their shop a visit as well as discuss their upcoming plans. Perhaps they read his "colorful" opinion piece in the Telegraph in defense of that other London-centric electric car, the G-Wiz. And what of those future plans? They plan on adding yet more models to their already-varied vehicle line-up which includes the Vectrix and Mega Multi Truck. For more a more detailed look into the future hit ...

Boris Johnson must beat Ken Livingstone on May 1st.
2008-04-27 16:29:00 With only three days to go until the election for the next Mayor of London, the polls are showing Boris and Ken on level pegging. Having been (until recently) a life long Labour supporter, I can say with all honesty that I cannot understand how Ken Livingstone became Mayor, or continued to get elected. He always reminds me of an evil villain from a Bond movie, or the corrupt official at odds with Batman. When do you ever hear anything good said about Red Kenneth in the media? how often has his name been linked to the dubious activities of others? Why the hell do people vote for him? it's beyond me. Maybe he has a massive family.I'm reasonably sure that Boris will come out on top - the main reason being that I believe there are now more people who want to stop Ken winning than there are wanting to bash Boris. Boris has been at a disadvantage in these latter stages due to his less than polished public speaking ability. It's a shame he can't articulate the message he writes so eloq...

London Mayor - Magic our Boris! (12 point lead).
2008-03-17 15:03:00 A YouGov poll for today's Evening Standard shows Boris Johnson to be extending his lead over Red Ken in the London Mayoral race. Boris is now polling about 49% of the population of London (no jokes please), Ken is on 37% (he's been polling the whole of London for quite a while) and Brian Paddick is dragging arse on 12%.Meanwhile Ken is having problems with Porsche. From the Guardian:The row between Porsche and the mayor of London intensified last night when Ken Livingstone called on the luxury car manufacturer to abandon its legal challenge to a new £25 polluters' charge, claiming it did not have the support of Londoners.This is going to be a very bad year for Labour.

Andrew Marr show - Sheriff Boris Johnson
2008-02-10 11:01:00 Boris Johnson is a man with a vision. Speaking on the Andrew Marr show this morning he set out his plans to clean up London, both its physical appearance and its crime. Boris sees his role as being more hands on, making sure the city runs the way the people want it to. In a New York style he intends to clean up the small crimes that ruin the city. It's well documented that this approach reduces overall crime including serious offences. He talks of under 18s earning the privilege of free bus travel by acts such as community and voluntary work. He talks of the police reacting to the crimes that matter to the people of the city. He talks of mayoral advisors being accountable for their actions. In fact Boris seems exceedingly motivated and energised by the idea of making London the great city it should have always been.It's those small crimes that make all the difference to the people that live in the city. Without a doubt inaction by the police on small crime, creates an atmosphere o...

Equal Opportunities Commission to check London Mayor Ken Livingstone's deci
2007-06-22 17:33:00 The Equal Opportunities Commission said it would investigate a decision by the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone to reject the appointment of eight men and a single white female to the London Fire Authority because it failed to tackle the under-representation of women and black, Asian and ethnic minority Londoners. Livingstone asked Liberal Democrats and Conservatives from London councils and the London Assembly to reconsider their nominations to the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority. The Mayor insisted that he received legal advice stating that there were strong grounds for concern about whether statutory duties to promote equality had been carried out by the councils. ?I just do not believe that it is impossible to find more black and Asian people to serve on the fire authority, or that there are not more women who wish to participate,? he said. ?It is unacceptable that when there are 1,861 councillors in London, of whom 555 are women and 293 from black, Asian...
