[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 168032, member: 33"] The media needs to stop fawning over this idiotic and dangerous man and scrutinise Boris Johnson's record. As a Londoner I know all too well how disastrous he was when he was our mayor. These are a few highlights from his record: [LIST] [*]Boris Johnson spent a £46m of taxpayers’ money on his vanity project the Garden Bridge that nobody wanted and the project was abandoned and all that money was wasted. [*]He spent £60m on constructing another of his vanity projects, The Emirates Airline - a cable car over the River Thames. It costs £500,000 a month to run and an investigation in 2015 showed that it had only 4 user a day. [*]Boris Johnson spent £300 million on yet another vanity project "The New Bus For London". £11.4m spent just on design and building the first eight. With 800 built, each cost around £375k - nearly twice the cost of a conventional double decker. They also emit 74% more harmful particles than the old buses and are uncomfortable to use because it gets unbearably hot in the summer. [*]He decided to spend £300 million to convert the Olympic Stadium to a football stadium and handed it over to his mate, Tory Baroness Karen Brady for West Ham to play there for next to nothing in rent. His deal with West Ham meant Londoners were left paying £20 million a year on the stadium upkeep while the football club rake in millions in ticket revenue. [*]Boris Johnson prioritised building multi-million pound penthouses and luxury flats that only the very wealthiest could afford, leaving most Londoners out. Only 13% of homes given permission in his final year in office were affordable and rough sleeping doubled during his time as mayor. [/LIST] On top of his shocking record he has called gay men "bum boys", black children "piccaninnies with water melon smiles" and described Muslim women as looking like "bank robbers" and "letterboxes". He conspired with a friend to get a journalist beaten up and made up quotes when he was a journalist. This man is not just a joke, he is not fit to be Prime Minister. [/QUOTE]
