London Mayoral Elections

Recommended Posts

Bnp got well loads of votes in my area (barking and dagenham) last time and i hope they do the same this time my area is a big area for bnp and all these murders are many involving people that are not english

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on this one, because I feel you are seriously ill informed. It is incredibly important to understand exactly what you are voting for before you do so. I also think you'll find that the BNP don't have quite as much support as you suspect.

Have a little browse of this, especially Spacephantom and Captain Starkiller's entries - you might learn a thing or two:

They also maintain a policy of re-criminalisation of homosexuality. You are visiting a site dedicated to a deviant according to your beliefs? Strange...

Meh, let people vote for whoever they want. You can't have a free society if one particular view is banned no matter how much you may disagree with it.

With all due respect Mr B I feel you have completely missed the point of my previous post. It was indended to be educational (I am a teacher afterall), at no point did I suggest any particular view ought to be banned merely because I disapprove of it.

Is anyone else voting in the election? Or got any opinions about the candidates (other than Boris Johnson)?

I will be, I live in London and am really glad I can vote.

Unfortunatly, for the next 3-4 years I won't be living in London, (I'm hoping to study at UEA) so I think I'm going to vote for Boris just for a laugh.

Anyone see him on question time yesterday? Hilarious.

It's so weird, EVERYONE I know watched that last night and just flicked on to it by accident and was glued to it...

He was terrible on it, couldn't answer a single question..at least Red Ken was vaguely honest (as much as he can be) and funny....

I'd rather have that anyday.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

That's a bit of an understatement. I think his whole olympic budget kinda screwed him over, although the woman who kept repeating that sweet over the tax was bizarre...

Because we live in a free society

True. Their values are completely misguided though. Immigration in some situations actually improves our economy, and different cultures mixing can only be a good thing in my opinion. I know people from all different cultures and countries, a chance I perhaps wouldn't have had if I didn't live in London. Each one of them has enriched my life.

Thats getting a bit heavy though, what is the general consensus on the lib dem candidate?

They didn't even lay a single brick until 2003! Complete fiasco....I'm sure the Olympics will be much smoother though..even though they've already changed the plans for the main stadium.

its still not finished now. The external lift, the 2 times I have been up it, still isnt working... and I swear it opened in 2006 in the end?

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
