What a disgrace! 03/05/2008

For once, I am speechless. Boris Johnson has been elected Mayor of London as of yesterday night. I am really disappointed in the Londoners who voted for him. In the past, he referred to black people as ‘picannies’ and having ‘watermelon smiles’. According to this site, Ken Livingston, the ex-Mayor won £79 million pounds of funding for youth centres. Yet, fucking Boris has been chosen!!! This man has proven that he is a racist. How can he then be in charge of probably one of the most cosmolipolitan and diverse cities in the world ?

I am so furious right now. All the people who abstained should be ashamed of themselves. This loser is now the mayor of London. The gloomy time has begun…

    I’m just learning of this. It’s absolutely shameful. I’m not sure why they allowed this travesty to take place, since he’s obviously a bigot. Perhaps there’s more to this than meets the eye.

    What I don’t understand is, why would some abstain, knowing that Livingstone was the better man? Fear? Laziness? Apathy?

    I screamed when I heard he was elected. I voted for Ken. He is just horrible, gross, yikes!!!!
