12 April - Someone may be fibbing

GLA election campaignThe contest has started. Today the first London Mayoral election leaflet was rammed into my letter box and the Labour team has been touring the local streets.

Their publicity photograph is interesting to me in several ways. Two of the people pictured are Councillors I voted for in 2022, my own house is visible and the photo site is one I have passed most days for the past 37 years.

As such I have got to know several of the people living there and I am disappointed to learn that they have been fibbing to me. None have had a good word to say about Sadiq Khan from the time he was elected and much worse in recent years.

Neither is there much love for any Conservative politician but it takes a considerable stretch of the imagination to think a traditional Conservative voter will switch to Khan.

I can imagine some being stupid enough to vote for Starmer; but Khan? Never.

I find the whole thing disappointing. How can I possibly support people who won my vote in 2018 and 2022 when they are so keen to condemn London to another four years of incompetence, BS and the acceptance of crime?

When Rishi eventually throws in the towel it looks like a Spoiled Ballot Paper is called for but not on May 2nd when the future of the city is in grave danger.
