The comments on Hillsborough are dead wrong, but I'm not sure how accurate that Wikipedia article is as I seem to recall reading some explanation of the Spectator article affair somewhere that didn't mention that at all. Either way, he's made it a big deal in one of his books to explain his motive for the whole thing as well as apologise for any offence. I don't hold it against him.
As far as his Mayor of London position goes, I don't know too much about it. He doesn't appear to have done anything disastrously wrong. I heard he hates bendy buses, which I hate too. I wouldn't know what a Tory council is like to live under- I've been living under a shit Lib Dem council for years, we've apparently got the highest council tax in Britain but also the shittest roads.

Ive never been to Liverpool so i respect yr perspective. I only brought it up as a bit of a joke and an aside really, ive never been arsed about that Spectator thing.
I almost went to that Germany thing, it was in Reading where i was living at the time but we didnt in the end. To think, i could have witnessed a piece of history...
As for the BNP, im dead worried about the fact alot of far right people have been elected across Europe, in Hungary etc. We also have UKIP who despite what they say are more in tune with the BNP than alot of people think. Dead concerned, like.
