Ken Livingstone Election Broadcast

[redword2007]

Headline of the Morning Star today: "The Battle for Mayor Begins."

Well done Ken. You have beaten Oona. Now we must defeat Boris.

[ne1l007]

Ken was a great mayor. Boris is a joke, he has done nothing for London since being elected.

Boris bikes, well they were Ken's idea.

A/c trains. we are in a deficit and you spend money on trains.

Please vote Boris out in the next election

[BenFosterification]

The people in the city are scummy. Newcastle is a hell of a lot friendlier that London. ps no change since boris apart from more failing transport and sporting events

[jbarks10]

So pleased this cunt got voted out.

[drtleft]

"You don't have to go any where else, the whole world is here"

Brilliant!

[nameshaveallbeenused]

anyone noticed how the people in these comments who hate ken livingstone have cannot substantiate their opinions at all? although they can regurgitate that 'hes a socialist/lenin/socialist again' - if he is indeed a socialist(which he is, we can all accept that) then does it really matter as what disagreeable 'socialist' things did he do that were so bad? what did he do at all that was bad? "yeh but, boris is well funneh, mega lulz, boris for PM"

[doctorcroc]

you labour chavs must learn to forget the past the left wing decade is over get used to the tory years tell me what motivates you to vote labour? its a shame that we have english people om benefits whilst hard working foreigners come here and do well for themselves i assume its the labour benefits system that is the excuse vote tory if u wanna get on and be a success

[TrainEnthusiast492]

It sucks that he didn't win

[053bss]

You're telling me. Boris will be an embarrassment. He'll be out in no time, don't you worry.

[jenkinss5]

Champagne Socialist!!

[doctorcroc]

aha PACK YOUR BAGS CROOKED KEN YOUR NEWTS NEED YOU LONDON DOESNT . THE MOMENT YOU TRIED TO SCREW THE CAB TRADE WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END  WITH YOUR SOCIALIST ENGINEERING YOU ARROGANT TWIT

[gothicking999]

the people of london have made their statement, lenin has gone

[stanleymaiden]

next By-election !!!!!

Ken gets elected, then he sorts out the Labour party.

Ken for leader !!!!

[053bss]

Ha! my thoughts exactly! we need someone strong and spirited to shake up the party. I'm not sure that other rank and file members would support him, but I would definitely vote for Ken in a leadership election.

He's a great man, what ever the flea-infested Tories throw at him. We'll be seeing more of him in the future, I'm sure.

[goolook]

Boris does live in islington a few days a week in a 2nd house paid for by us the taxpayer when he has to go to the commons.The majority of the time he lives in berkshire where he is a councillor.Thats right we paid for his 2nd house and furnished it for him as well like all the other greedy politicians.Saves him dipping into his £100.000 plus wages i suppose.Yes ken is arrogant but to think this guy will change anything your deluded.

[steveallen808909]

i have a good enough reason to vote out ken hes social engineering and thats why the bnp get votes which im against and besides im better than ken at looking after my own money ken wants a socialist state i dont

Learn how to type before you try and make political comments.

[steveallen808909]

[goolook]

Does boris actually live in london now or will he still drive in from berkshire pretending to be a londoner.Boris ken ? Don't vote for any of them,give one of the smaller parties your vote if you really want change.

[steveallen808909]

boris lives in islington n1 i want ken out hes too arrogant amd at 62 he should leave us alone

[steveallen808909]

labour meltdown day let brown know hes the weakest link 1st of may boris for mayor

[goolook]

Did anyone know that david cameron is member of the same socialsit union ken livingstone fronts with lee jasper? Seems to blow the theory boris will make any difference.

[steveallen808909]

please vote this lying arrogant dictator out before he walks all over us with his socialist agenda and ruins london

[goolook]

Send the 3 main idiots a messege by not voting or spoiling ypur ballot paper.That way they might actually listen to peoples needs and get their snouts out of the troughs.

[doctorcroc]

go boris vote the socialist tax bendy lover out

[BryanAJParry]

'E's a RILL Landanah is aah Ken. No' sam sor'a fackin nonse like ol' fackin wossisnamefloppyaired git.

Or something like that. I almost expected Ken to don a Pearly King suit and slurp down some jellied eels.

[steveallen808909]

vote boris to keep nasty ken out

[steveallen808909]

why is london taxpayers paying for a mega mosque with 24 hour security ??? why is only london paying for the olympics??? london cannot afford to keep ken in city hall another 4 years it will all end in tears

[goolook]

Boris main job on his broadcast is to dig up the holes.Those were his words,well then boris,how do you dig up a hole? Livingstone,paddick,buffoons the lot of them!

[steveallen808909]

kens the reason why the bnp get votes we need one london one mayor for everyone not nasty ken dividing us up as groups go boris

[goolook]

The only reason people like him do what they want is because people keep voting for them!Lets not kid ourselves,boris won't be any better.Lets send them a messege and don't vote for any of the 3 main parties,vote for a smaller party or not at all.Maybe then they will listen.

[doctorcroc]

no mention of the mega mosque? or sharia law in england ? hmm dont trust this nasty man everyvote counts may the first go boris

[gothicking999]

isn't it funny how he talks about economic growth in london, but yet fails to mention how he seems to set up taxes to penalise everyone, just for the hell of it.

[gothicking999]

1:03- 1:11 he is talking about the redevelopment of the docklands. If I am not mistaken this occurred in the 1980's under the conservative government of margret thatcher. How low will Ken stoop to win the london election on may 1st.

[sirinferno]

Go Boris!

[doctorcroc]

WHAT A CREEP vote the dictator out before its too late

[jayforeman51]

1:43 "i was just on my way to get something to eat".... and i'm mic'd up!

[doctorcroc]

vote ken out hes dangerous to the future of london if u wanna see what damage he can do look at other dictators aroung the world hugo chavez ,castro we need a sensible mayor ken isnt

[wjfox2006]

Jesus you are a fucking moron.

[green500]

vote bnp

[steveallen808909]

what racist comments ? so if i vote for paddick or boris im racist? u sound soo silly . kens done nothing for londeners except tax them and divides people up thats why this time im not voting for him  paddick or boris for mayor

[doctorcroc]

i hear he doesnt mention building the biggest mega mosque in the world with tax payers noney ken divides communities up we need a mayor for london not just for some communities vote paddick or boris

[steve62482]

Despite all the negative, mainly racist or at least implicitly racist comments here, i believe Ken will win in May. I've lived in East London all my life and believe Ken has done a fantastic job. Mind you, my constituency MP is George Galloway, another champion individual, so i'm torn between Ken and Lindsey German. I can't believe any right thinking person could even consider voting for those bitter, twisted, fraudulent bastards the BNP! Or Boris for that matter...

[doctorcroc]

vote the scottish labour party out of london . why is londons taxpayers been sent to labour heartlands and scotland and why is only london paying for the olympics im still waiting for my rebate for the dome brown and ken waste money like tap water and the economy is sinking vote the scots out send ken packing

[vidsee]

London is England's capital city. Red Ken's idea od diversity is excluding all things English.

We need a change

[steveallen808909]

if you vote labour expect more of londons cash to be distributed up north to labour heartlands and scotland its a discrace never mind the increasing costs to live in london anyone but ken

[Bassmanbbn4]

Why just show us Ken traveling on the Tube?

Why doesn't Ken show us his trips to the Caribbean with his cronies, and all at the taxpayers expense of course.

And what about his "I changed my mind" comment when queried on his increase of the Congestion Charge and the demise of The Routemaster despite his earlier assurances that both would stay as they were.

That should be on YouTube as well.

[DanChalkley1991]

i agree

i'm only 16 but if i could vote it would be for Boris

[steveallen808909]

oh ken loves people haha yeah well he wont love me cause im voting for someone else kens election broadcast wont  pull the wool over my eyes .

[michaelpeters121]

London's nice but it's too expensive and snobby. Those are 2 things Livingstone hasn't changed.

[misterfisherman]

ken wants londonstani

[suns1979]

Nice flasher's mac, Ken.

[Mogemms]

I think he said "If it bleeds it leads" in referemce to the fact that the media always make teenage murder front page news. It was a comment on the media not on teenage gun/knife crime. And at the time when he said it, he had not been informed of the latest murder.

Even if you hate Ken, you've got agree that Boris as mayor is pretty terrifying!

[DanLambe]

1min 10 secs in and he comments on how there are now 100,000 jobs in Docklands whereas 25 years ago there were none!! Thats nothing to do with him or Labour , that was a Margaret Thatcher initiative that enabled that success!!!!

[LondonMay2008]

Ken Livingstone has posted this on YouTube as well. But he has not allowed ordianry Londoners to comment. I believe that democracy should mean people getting involved, so I have posted the same video, but I invite comments. Let me and other Londoners know what you think about Ken Livingstone, his video and his record over the last eight years.

[astralwarrior8]

thanks ok will do

[ashthecash]

what an odious little man he is. His nasal whine sounds like a vibrator. I haven't had any respect for him since he said, in response to the death of another teenager, 'if it bleeds, it bleeds'
