Incoherant ranting

[pyoor_excuse]

So, whilst I'm frequently prone to bounts of incoherent ranting, they don't often end up on here... but I have just seen the election results. And seriously? BNP on the London Assembly, Boris Johnson elected mayor. I don't even have the words. BNP representing one of the most multicutltural places in the UK?

I guess it's all just fuel for my desire to leave the UK, but it also fills me with a sadness that the BNP's intolerance has been allowed to flourish. I find it abhorent that people are spreading such hatred. I suppose in comparison the election of the conservative puppet Boris is just a depressing drop in the ocean. But it just brings a depressingly right-wing impression to London.

And I liked Red Ken, he was nuts and he scrapped the Routemasters in a hideous act of environmental stupidity*; but hey.

* Busses which effectively last forever, have the possibility to be modified for wheelchair access and can have modern low/er emission engines fitted. What's not to like? Apart from the fact they've been scrapped.

It's absolutely shameful, and I'm horrified by these results. I've been a very apathetic member of the Labour party, but this has made me want to get active in making them change. Never has a party squandered a huge majority so badly.

I'm going to keep a very close eye on Barnbrook - he needs to be exposed for the ignorant thug that he is. Everyone who voted for him needs to know what he REALLY stands for.

As a Londoner, I hang my head in shame. Real progress has been made over the last eight years, and now it's all been thrown away.
