I was scathing about Ken Livingtone's regime and will continue to be so - I have lived in London since he was spending my money on the GLA and have learnt to be wary of him and his policies.


I am disappointed and, perhaps slightly embarrassed, that the Conservative mayoralty has, apparently, appointed an individual with a potentially dubious past - tho' almost every commentator (right, left and centre of politics) applauded the appointment when it was made, so if it was a misjudgement it was one shared by many.


I do not feel at all embarrassed about slating Ken over Lee Jasper - look at the two situations and how they were handled.


The duration between allegation, the Mayor's announcement of formal enquiry and the Deputy Mayor's resignation to allow work of Mayoralty to continue untainted by the allegations is just over 24 hours. Compare with Ken Livingstone's regime when it took several months to even obtain an admission that there was anything that warranted investigation within Lee Jasper's handling of LDA money.

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
