They're certainly at the level of their readership.
But in London he is known as a good mayor who gets the job done and that is what counts.
The ticket offices will be closed but there will still be staff in the ticket halls to help passengers and issue unusual tickets.
Exactly. He's made more of an impact on London than any mayor than I can remember, and it has by and large been for the better.
He can bumble as much as he wants, but at least he does something useful, which is far more than can be said for most politicians.

My point was more regarding the irony of calling somebody "stupid", and then quoting newspapers which are by and large not renowned for their intelligent comment.
Also, given that the quotes were from his likely opponent in the 2016 mayoral elections, they aren't exactly likely to be fair and balanced are they?

Since when did The Mirror and The Evening Standard comprise 99% of newspapers?
Pity most of the people in London don't feel the same. But there again I wouldn't say "poor of Britain are victims of low I.Q"
and greed was good.
I could quote from news papers from all over the world and they all say the same.
So why does he keep winning elections?
That's a relief, as that sentence makes absolutely no sense.
Go on then. And ideally don't take quotes from somebody in the opposition.

I'm trying to find one that says he is not a idiot..ever..but it's hard. NY times? nope...washington post...nope..Tampa bay ...nope
It's concerning that you feel the need to validate your own opinions with newspaper quotes, rather than a reasoned argument.
If you dislike the guy, that's fine, but at least be able to reason for yourself.

Yeah, because newspapers regularly publish lists of people who are not idiots
Surely the default presumption about people is that, until they show you otherwise, they are not idiots.

Ugh unions. Ugh Bob Crow. Ugh all this rubbish.
The sooner we get driverless trains the better. Count your years Bob - your stronghold will be over soon - unions, what a joke.
FWIW I prefer Borris to Ken and glad he was voted back in.

I agree with the poster who suggested simply opening the barriers (although I assume TFL would simply call the police to close them). But by impacting the public like this every time it simply means the public get angry and the union loses the their support. An angry public would be happy to automate as much as possible and remove the cause of the "problem" as they see it - the workers who strike.
From my point of view I'd be happy to see driverless trains, no ticket offices and only a few staff on the platform for safety reasons. My view has been influenced by regular strikes. Had there not been so many strikes that directly affect me then I would not be supportive of such automation. So as far as I'm concerned they have shot themselves in the foot.
Lets move forward please and modernise the whole system.

I, and pretty much everyone in London I know, thinks he is a good mayor, the fact that he also provides lols is a bonus.
They voted him in again. Nuff evidence I believe.

It's going to happen. And it cannot come quickly enough.

"BUT THEY TELL ME WHAT TO THINK!!!"
Really? What has he done that's had such an impact?
Most of the schemes that have had he name stamped on them (e.g. 'Boris' bikes, the Olympics) had already been planned and approved by the time he came to power.
He's implemented an unenforceable ban on alcohol on the tube, given us some very expensive new buses and proposed an unworkable airport in the Thames estuary. I can't think of much else.
He also promised to keep all ticket offices open.
