Classic Ken - anything to appeal to a wedge of a population.

I don't want London to be a 'Beacon of Islam', I want it to be a 'Beacon of multiculturalism'

I read that as "I will make London a bacon of Islam" at first.

Religion causes so much crap, why does it even need to exist.

I'd like to think this country would be run in a manner favoring none of the religions. Is he that desperate to get re-elected?

as did I.

Multicultural Britain is a large scale failure, and that idiot is just adding more fuel to an already raging fire.

Yeh because without people, religion would still be around wouldnt it?? :rolleyes:

Ok so i guess this is will inevitably turn into an islam/muslim bashfest at some point??. Its the usual par for course in GD when anything muslim or islam wise crops up

I was worried about Boris embarrassing the whole country when the world spotlight is on London for the Olypmics, now he seems like the lesser of two evils. Basically in an Olympic year, Londoners have a choice between a buffoon and Osama bin London. Great.

Must read the thread title properly next time.

I was expecting Bacon

Got my vote. I couldn't care less about transport, policing, the environment, planning and development and definitely arts and culture as long as you lot know that we, the Muslims, are simply misunderstood.

In all seriousness, the comments in reply to the blog so far are an excellent example of the ignorance people have of religion. As Mayor though, his focus should be on fair and equal treatment of all Londoners.

Whooo go Boris

King Damager · 20 Mar 2012 at 15:06

If he keeps acting like this Boris will seem like the less bonkers one...

**** religion, we have much, much bigger problems right now. I couldn't care less about Islam, literally do not give a monkey's...

What I do care about is crime, justice, education, the economy, healthcare, infrastructure, enterprise and peace.

If you've go no voters I feel bad for you son, we've got 99 problems but Islam ain't one....

Nice one Ken. Carry on like this and you'll have even less people voting for you than you did last time.
