to go to the Mayor of London election a recent ITV/You Gov Poll has given Ken Livingstone a 4 point lead. This may come as a great surprise to many outside London but those of us who live in London have come to love this strange and slightly eccentric man. I personally embrace the congestion charge, I'm very impressed by the dramatic improvements to public transport - although
perhaps the buses are victims of the incredible success - usage has so dramatically increased that most are now overcrowded. They are so cheap - and the introduction of the Oyster Card
makes it so easy to travel by bus and train. I also applaud Ken's campaign to bring the Olympics
to London in 2012 - it is already transforming East London, and inspiring the young people living here. As a colleague of mine remarked 'Ken stands up for London, I'll vote Conservative in any other election - but Ken will get my vote'. God help us all if Boris gets elected - all the improvements will be thrown away.
