Why are you giving us all the distinct impresion that you have taken leave of your senses somewhere between the bathroom and the kitchen? Get back in the office and start behaving like the stateman we thought you could be. You need to be dynamic and decisive and at least try to show that you really have got it all together. London deserves better and you have little time left before the tide of opinion turns against you. Alcohol might be a good substitute?! ;-)

What the people of London want from Boris is simply that he is NOT the creepy Livingstone, strangling the city with his committees stuffed full of cronies (who he ensured received massive pay-offs from ratepayers' money when he was kicked out). Reviving a dead ideology and the dead hand of Labour will require a lot more than a few poorly aimed potshots at Boris.
