Reply to: Boris to make a bid for the leadership

[Bean]

Does yer mum know you've got hold of her PC, you virginal geek?
No one as tedious as you could possibly have got laid

Lucky I didn't hold my breath eh?

Also: Stop projecting

[sasguru]

Awww, ad-hominem when asked for evidence to backup a subjective opinion that was called out - my heart bleeds

I don't believe many of our PMs have truly been 'PM material' - but perhaps you could list a few qualities you think essential and then, list a few people who hold such qualities that you'd like in said position?

Still, given your prior responses when asked for evidence, I won't hold my breath

Feck me, not only a cretin, but a tedious one with it.
If you think Boris is PM material you need your head examined.

Glad you accept reality, that helps most people


Subjective opinion - please cite evidence for "cheap"


Please see prior link and quote to 'Prescott' (and nothing was built under Ken? or further back?)

No. St. Georges was bad enough, but what's happening in the Nine Elms area /close to the new Sainsbury's supermarket is much, much worse.
Of course towers are the way forward

but these are really cheap and nasty, jerry-rigged and horrible looking.

All built under the tosser's watch.

Or see what's happening around Wembley Stadium - same sort of thing, nasty, horrible and cheaply built.

At least they bring down those nasty helicopter thingys.

Thank goodness the wharf is not going the same way.

Why should towers be the way forward? Who wants to live in one? Why not just say that only UK passport holders can buy UK property - and only one each.

Wonder if you mean this;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_George_Wharf_Tower

"A final decision was made by the then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott in 2005 and the tower was approved, against the decision of the planning inspector and despite warnings from Prescott's own advisers that it “could set a precedent for the indiscriminate scattering of very tall buildings across London”.

Try again

Also, in large cities - you think towers are not going to become the new normal due to the population increasing in the area and in general?

Actually it didn't. The city has changed under his mayorship for the worse.
He allowed the development of cheaply built, inappropriate towers in areas that it didn't suit.
Walk around Vauxhall (one of many areas affected- but I was there this w/e so it sticks out) to see the damage he has wrought.

He didn't have a choice.

The Communities secretary can overrule the Mayor of London. The MoL has very few powers.

One reason why Ken Livingstone was so hated is that he found good people in his teams that could find loopholes in national government policy to implement things.

He's been mayor of London and it survived him

London survived Boris, the UK will survive you - don't (actually do) let the door hit you on the way out!

Boris as PM?

Can we be even more of a laughing stock?

You could be PM.

Can the last one left in this god-forsaken country please turn out the lights.

It is most definitely not.

you can't say that. It's gayist.
