Ken Livingstone

[HankMorgan]

"Finally, I wish to speak directly to those who came to London today to take life.

I know that you personally do not fear giving up your own life in order to take others - that is why you are so dangerous. But I know you fear that you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society and I can show you why you will fail.

In the days that follow look at our airports, look at our sea ports and look at our railway stations and, even after your cowardly attack, you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners and to fulfil their dreams and achieve their potential."

Mayor Livingstone of London, 7/7/2005

It does sound like something Winston Churchill would've said. I do like Red Ken, he aint ever afraid to speak his mind about something.

And it was cowardly, I agree with the man, the queen was in residence, why not attack her ? or did the coldstream guards put them off, so they had to skulk underground and blow up innocents.

Chester P for mayor!

For once, 'Red' Ken got it right:

This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty or the powerful, it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers, it was aimed at ordinary working-class Londoners, Black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindus and Jews, young and old," It was an "indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, class, religion whatever."

"Red" Ken is still a scab though. He encouraged striking tube drivers to cross a picket line.

Yeah, the all powerful 21st century monarch. Slaying her will save the world!

Livingstone does talk a lot of sense sometimes, despite what people say about him.
His plans for London transport are good. Charge the rich fuckers, who wanna drive their Jeeps and pollute our world, to the ground.

Congestion charging rocks!
