Ken Livingstone, former leader of the GLC, Member of Parliament and the first democratically-elected Mayor of London is the official Labour candidate to succeed Boris Johnson as London Mayor in 2012.

During his time as Mayor, Ken introduced the London Living Wage, which enabled those picking up the lowest wages in the city to achieve decent pay, dignity and respect unrivaled in any other UK city. Internationally, he made his mark by making London a Nuclear-Free Zone, cultivating cordial relations with the socialist government of Venezuela and playing an integral role in bringing the Olympics to London.

His way of doing politics -- open and direct, coalition builder rather than tribal, loyalty to principle ahead of expediency, passionate -- gives him a very wide spread of support. Be part of that support: www.kenlivingstone.com

  • This is an awesome song! I love you for putting this up on youtube!

    Who's the man we all need?

    Who's the throbbing sex machine?

    Its some of her best work....

    Oh yeh and PS don't let people use this page as a basis for political discussion. Just love the song!

  • Well... To tell you the truth, I originally put this up as a way of both supporting Ken for London Mayor in 2008, and giving this rare song an outlet on the Tube, so both political and KB fan discussion is encouraged.

    Thanks for your support! I really do appreciate it!

  • Would just like to say - thanks sooooo much , have been looking for the full version of this song for ages. My fav ever episode of Comic Strip- classic.

    Also can i just say - Boris really people? I moved out of London 18 months ago and still can't believe that a racist,homophobic philanderer who cant even comb his own hair has been elected the mayor, whatever you think of Ken. Seriously people ????????

    Still thsnks for one of Kate's best.

  • Hey, great! Glad your search is over.

    And I tell you, the people of London won't put up with another four years of him. I'm sure he'll be out after then. I mean, two top resignations only two months in? His boat's sinking already.

    Cheers!

  • marvellous thanks for posting

  • K8 the GR8

  • Wow her voice on this is incredible. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. How dull the musical industry would be with out her. Genius in this field.

  • It's originally from 'The Comic Strip : G.L.C. The Carnage Continues' (1990)

  • As far as I know this was never supposed to be a serious endorsement of Ken Livingstone. It came from a 1980s satirical Comic Strip episode, where "Ken" was an over-the-top superman politician.

  • feed the poor eat the rich

    

  • oh kate,what were you thinking?

  • People dislike this team up of genius? This is one of those rare and priceless moments where legends team up! The comic strip and kate B such witt over such wittless people! GENIUS! Kate 4 Leader! Defo! Fuck Ken and Boris!
