Well, I couldn’t keep up with the frenetic blogging here and here as the London results finally started to come through. I read it here first.
There will be those who say that, in a democracy we must respect the results, that Boris Johnson is the elected Mayor of London and we should work together for the interests of all Londoners.
But I won’t be one of them.
Let’s start mobilising for the first demonstration against Tory Mayor Johnson.
It’s time for the serious socialists who remember what life was like under a Tory Government to start spreading the word to those who don’t remember – we cannot afford to leave the task to the New Labour idiots who have been trying to put a brave face on this drubbing all day, and who have wasted eleven years failing to make fundamental change.
Update at 1.40am - we also have a BNP member of the Assembly with a platform for the politics of hate. We have to resist and marginalise the far right in order to drive them back into the gutter where they belong. Pandering to prejudice is not the way to go, and I hope that colleagues on UNISON's Regional Committee will want to consider how we develop the fight against the far right now.

Lets hope he just screws up the Tories Election chances before he screws up your city
Agreed. After last May I thought things could not get any worse. They have
I am sure there'll be a headline on the front of the Evening Standard saying it was us wot won it for Boris......
But so many lefties think that there's no difference between New Labour and the Tories..and that there's less than an ideological cigarette packet between the two.
But there are BIG ideological differences. The tories will accelerate the attacks and will constantly serve the interests of their class (unlike NL who shafts their core voters).
NL is an imitation and if you want to see the "real thing" then we will under Boris. It truly is a scary time.....
What happened to Jon - did Bojo eat him?
