I saw him saying in that mayoral debate that he'd lose the congestion charge because it's made congestion worse.

O_O

If he wins, I'll cry.

Ken said that? Have you got a video clip? Seems bizarre when he's been heavily loading his campaign with references to how successful the Congestion Charge has been.

But anyway, my point isn't that he's perfect (he ain't), it's that climate change is overwhelmingly the most important issue facing us all just now, and Ken is rightly seen around the world as a leader on the issue. That's why the Greens are urging Sian Berry's supporters to give their second vote to Ken.

No, Boris said that!

If boris wins, I'll cry. Seriously, I can't beleive anyone is considering voting for him when london is SO improved in the last years.

Night buses, 24 hour buses, the london overground, cleaner streets, cleaner air, less traffic, the london freewheel, cycling on the agenda for once... People may not like Ken, but he gives a shit about London. All Boris gives a shit about is the job.

Ah, I see! Makes a lot more sense :D

And I couldn't agree more. Buses from Trafalgar Square to Kingston every 10 minutes throughout the night has made weekend nights a lot less cold! Not to mention that just by winning elections he stops Dread Pirates crying, which can only be a good thing..
