The electorate obviously thought one of the two was worthy of their vote, and if personality is all they need to be deemed worthy of office then we're all fucked

Like that's unusual.


I've seen Owen Jones do other stuff and he really does have some quite reasonable arguments. But whenever he writes for the G, he conjures up complete horsecrap. And he's not the only one - David Mitchell has started writing some really terrible columns there as well.


I'd suspect it was the sub-editors at work, but we know the Grauniad has never employed any.

Not sure Mr Khan has the experience, the personality or the savvy to do a good job. Ken and Boris were personalities with lots and lots of on-the-job background. Khan strikes me as dull, a plodder, uninspired and uninspiring. And, to tell the truth, the mayor's job is really just a glorified transport commissioner so all the histrionics about the mayoralty in general and the rather patronising "working class immigrant's son - who is also a Muslim - becomes mayor" is so much froth. Add to that the fact he has to deal with a Conservative government which will be looking to trip him up at any possibility, I don't see his four years really amounting to much.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
