Today’s top quality mailesque headline comes from the Metro with Drunk under 8s treated in casualty ...as if the drinking problems in the UK have become so horrifyingly bad that our toddlers are on the booze...le sigh. The Standard’s campaign against Ken continues, it’s not exactly subtle about it, I’m expecting “Ken causes cancer!” any day soon. ""Mr Jasper always refused to give any explanation for his actions and has invariably resorted instead to accusing this paper of racism. And it is easier for him to blame, as he did yesterday, “the racist nature of a relentless media campaign” than answer the very specific allegations against him. But there are now police investigations into six organisations that received LDA grants at Mr Jasper’s behest."" There are currently *no* police investigations into Mr Jasper, as far as I am aware. Police investigations into the *one* of the 12 organisations that received the money, yes, not into him. You’d think if he were guilty of irregularities there would be, no? He asked to have the accusations referred to the police and was suspended from city hall, the Standard alleges he was suspended because of a police investigation. It’s all very amusing. in fact, the entire Mayoral election appears to be a complete bitchfest. www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/mar/05/london.livingstone www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/feb/15/livingstone.london1 (centre left take on it) www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article3489869.ece (right take on it) www.blacklondon.org.uk/phorum/read.php?11,326,371 (black groups’ take on it) Make up your own mind...
