That's nothing! The previous mayor was a terrorist apoligist!

No - he has no beliefs at all, he's just a fucking idiot. He's very
funny on Have I Got News For You, but if I lived in London, I'd be
trembling in fear now. I can't wait to see what he does/says now he's
the Mayor of London with a huge budget at his command.

Seems to be a few actually...
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Society_&_Culture/Christian_communities.html
Quite a few mosques too. You do realise I guess that Jerusalem is in
Israel and is one of the most holy of cities to Islam?
Shawk
As with all leaders whether or not he'll be any good will depend
entirely on the team around him.

There are countless examples of Ken Livingstone pushing his own, very
specific (read myopic) agenda. In addition to tolerating corrupt staff in
office because of *what* they are. The proposed £25 "congestion" charge
became about pollution because he knew it didn't really affect congestion.
It also would have had no affect on pollution. It was about class envy - the
irony being it would not have bothered the well off in the slightest and
been an enormous penalty to anybody on lower wages.
"Trembling in fear" is an interesting phrase but I guess this is a gaming
newsgroup, not a politics one and I think we will have to agree to disagree.

Hell, *Hitler* had personality !

By comparison to that Clinton - McCain - Obama circus that can't seem to
bring itself
to actually discuss any of the issues & policies
'cause there to busy scratching & squabbling over tit-bits of chatter &
gossip.
Boris is a mine of appropriate concerns & sensible relevant policies.

Didn't you see the results of our elections? The only thing us Brits
seem to be able to agree on is that we're tired as hell of the current
clowns trying to nanny us but have a slight problem in that there's fuck
all to replace them with other than posher clowns who will want to nanny
us. I'd have buggered off years ago if I had less ties here... perhaps
pig farming in Portugal?
Seriously I'd put Boris about 15th in succession of powerful people.
Just behind Osama and Simon Cowell...

buffoons and all that. never taking in the delicious irony that their
leaders come FROM the people of said countrys.
british,americans, you ARE the morons of this world. so stop with
trying to distance yourselves from your leaders as if they are an
abberation. YOU are your leaders.
Canada is the only country on this planet that can hold their head
high. the british and americans are pretty much the special needs
students of the world.

I never really understood how he got away with some of the things he

time some conservative leader gets elected in your respective
country's to sort of apologies and sort of distance yourselves as if
some other British or American voters put them in office.your leaders
are YOU.
British and Americans are going to implode in the coming years.
especially the British with their high Muslim populations. you just
wait and see, might be 10 -20 years but the British will be the first
to fold. actually because Americans are so retarded and fearful of
Muslims and are quick to bomb they will probably escape the coming
Muslim problems as in their leaders need to see everything as black
and white in this scenario it will work for them in the future.
I'm just going to sit from my chair with the nice view of the falls

Well when you figure that about 30% of our population over

approval rating is about 30% .. that says a lot for him.

Maybe, but what *isn't* semantics is that, as of only a few years ago
(and likely still), 80% of Canada's population lived within about 120
miles of the US border.
Like it or not, admit it or not, you're a hell of a lot more American
that you think.

What a ridiculous statement! Does that mean that anybody who lives near
a border with another country MUST be like the people on the other side?
Since the English Channel is less than 25 miles wide, at it's narrow,
then I guess all the Brits who live on the coast must be just like
French people! How about the Swiss? From the geographic center of
Switzerland, if you travel more than 110 miles in any direction, you're
in another country. They are bordered by five other nations, so I guess
that means a real identity crisis, huh? You're another stupid American.
You know, the kind that makes the rest of the world hate us. I can't
even believe that somebody thinks what you just wrote! It was a joke,

Canada is a lot like the U.S. though. There are some cultural differences
but nothing major.

No, and that's not what I said, is it, Mr. Straw Man Argument? But,
apparently you feel so strongly that it was, that you're willing to
proceed with you little sock-puppet argument-with-yourself, regardless.

You done yet?

Nope, guess not.
(Obvious *assumption* that I'm an American, regardless of whatever
clues you think you have, notwithstanding.)
> You know, the kind that makes the rest of the world hate us.
OK, granting, just for one for one moment, that "the rest of the world
hates" Americans:
No, actually, I suspect it's ignorant,
assumption/stereotype/generalization-dependent blow-hard rants, and
obnoxiously overblown reactions that are way out of proportion to the
initial stimulus (such as you demonstrated in your post) that are
probably why people hate Americans_such_as_you.
> I can't even believe that somebody thinks what you just wrote! It was
> a joke,

You go around calling people "stupid" in a discussion group, and you
think it's because you're *American* that you feel hated? Hell, if *I*
was joking, you're material's a hell of a lot better than mine, pal.
And, besides, don't go projecting *your* reflexive paranoias and
persecution complexes onto the rest of your fellow Americans. It's not
polite.
Now, if you disagree with my point (90% of which Gumby, apparently, had
no problem wrapping his head around), fine. But if you're gonna be so
boorish about, flake off, because you're not exactly winning any awards
dispelling the Ugly American stereotypes yourself.

I was assuming you were American from your Comcast.net address. It's
the way you wrote it that sounds arrogant (hence the stupid American),
and is what prompted me to reply. Perhaps I took your post out of
context. Your psych evaluation is off, and regardless of Gumby's
opinion, the Canadians I know definitely do not agree with what you
wrote, and neither do I. One last thing: Your blow-hard reply to my
blow-hard rant was just as much out of proportion as mine:-)

That's because they want to think they are different but really they are
not much different at all. Living in Toronto is pretty much the same as
living in a large U.S. city.

OK.
