Well it's not official exactly yet but highly likely.

London is screwed with him in charge. He'll fuck it up. He's a joker, not someone with serious policies or ideas. Looks like the Tories are benefiting from Labour's incompetence.

I really hope some decent parties got more seats on the London Assembly.

Boris isnt that bad. I just fear that if he screws London up then when the general election comes round we will be stuck with Gordon Brown for another 5 years because the conservative party will be linked with incompetence... and if I have to put up with too much more of Gordon its goodbye UK for me!

I'm glad it's Boris. I think it highlights how much Labour have gone down hill as of late. Sure I don't think if there'd been a stronger alternative he'd have got in, but still. Now let's hope Brown admits defeat...

Should be an interesting time coming up in the land of the cork knee. I often wonder if boris is just the puppet with someone else pulling the strings.

Well the first waste of money will be the scrapping of the bendy buses and the construction of a new fleet of route masters, as stated by johnson on newsnight recently.

Does your (used collectively :P) support come from your hatred for Labour or love for the Conservatives? I have a feeling in most cases it's not the latter one, and that's never good. People might get disappointed.

Is it me or are there no good parties at the moment? They are all criticising each other instead of actually doing something.

I did laugh when he fell over the stage when he was going to make his speech. It just seems nice to have someone refreshing.

Unfortunately when a Government fails in local elections like this, it normally means the majority will vote them out in a general election. That's according to history books.

I don't think I would be as comfortable with the Conservatives being in charge of the whole country. Only time will tell though...

Boris Johnson will bring refreshment to politics and brightens up a usually boring matter. There is only two politicians who make me laugh one is Gordon Brown, because he is useless, and the other is Boris because he is smart man but whatever he says just comes out with some sort of funny word.

The conservatives are looking the more attractive option now under David Cameron. I think Gordon screwed us all over and did the thing which a lot of anti-conservative supporters keep saying the conservatives will do, which is make the rich richer and the poorest poorer by scrapping the tax band. The government aren't listening to what we want, and I think the conservatives probably will this time around... as you can probably tell I support the conservatives.

Anyway as this isn't a political forum, I'm going to stop with the slagging off of Gordon!

Congrats Boris

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
