Livingstone suspension is outrageous

[Stephen7372]

Tony Woodley, General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, described today’s decision to suspend Ken Livingstone from office as Mayor of London for four weeks as "outrageous":

"It is outrageous that an unelected body of three men has deprived seven million Londoners of their elected Mayor for four weeks. Whilst many had wanted Ken Livingstone to apologise, suspension for such a long period seems to me to be totally disproportionate and serves no other purpose than to disrupt the work of the Authority at a time when London needs it most. This harsh sanction hasn't been made in the interests of Londoners and is a menace to democracy. We will support London’s Mayor in whatever measures he may take to challenge this scandal.”

Don't really think he'll be missed for 4 weeks & I certainly won't feel deprived. It's the least they could have done to him

What Mr Livingstone said was entirely correct. I'm sick to death of nobody being able to say anything against the Jews, whom havefought an illegal war against the entirely innocent Palestinians on the back of the Holocaust. In case you hadn't realised the Palestinians did gas the Jews.

He didn't say anything against the Jews, he insulted someone, the Mayor of London shouldn't be doing that

The Mayor was insulted by the scum journalists, he should be able to stick up for himself. The reason he has been suspended is because he insulted a Jew.
