...for losing the election,you realised like the people of London that it was time for you to go.

You did some good things as mentioned above (though anyone who thinks the 'bendies' are a good thing is sectionable in my haughty opinion) but you long lived out your usefulness.

Cheerio, napoo, goodbye.

Good post HonaloochieB I agree with you about the 'bendies' and also agree about him outliving his usefulness, but what I vehemently apposed most of all was the messing with the traffic lights, 2 minutes on stop and 10 seconds on go, all to get his congestion charge in place. The place choking in fumes and nobody moving by foot nor wheel.

Thank you for standing up to central government;


for opposing the PPP financing of the tube;


for making public transport noticeably better than it was 8 years ago;


for befriending democratically elected South American leaders and giving London access to cheap fuel;


for being a international diplomat and attracting investment in cosmopolitan city;


for sticking two fingers up to Associated Newspapers!


Have a good retirement.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
