Red Ken vs blue Boris/ Ken vs Blond Bombshell for LONDON mayor.
I am voting for Ken but Here are some gaffes from Boris:
I am polymorphous pervert
Mr Johnson told a fringe meeting he would ban sweets in schools, but added: "If I was in charge I would get rid of Jamie Oliver and tell people to eat what they like." He said: "Mothers have been driven to pushing pies through fences. The solution is not to provide healthy stuff."
He later claimed he had been misinterpreted and thought Mr Oliver was "a national saint". "The BBC are completely wrong," he said, adding: "What I said was 'let them eat liver and bacon'."
told a fringe meeting safety seats for children in cars were "utterly demented", adding: "When I was growing up we all bounced around like peas in a rattle - did it do us any harm?"
"As a Scot, Gordon Brown will find it hard to convince people in England he should be prime minister."
"Supposing Tower Hamlets or parts of Bradford were to become governed by religious zealots believing in that system. Are we ready for complete autonomy if it means sharia law? I believe we should make people feel more British first, before encouraging more balkanisation and multiculturalism."
In a Daily Telegraph column, he wrote: "For 10 years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing, and so it is with a happy amazement that we watch as the madness engulfs the Labour Party."
Papua New Guinea's high commissioner in London was not best pleased by this comparison and demanded an apology.
Mr Johnson obliged, saying: "I meant no insult to the people of Papua New Guinea who I'm sure lead lives of blameless bourgeois domesticity in common with the rest of us."
He promised to "add Papua New Guinea to my global itinerary of apology".
Mr Johnson annoyed Portsmouth councillors by calling the city "one of the most depressed towns in southern England, a place that is arguably too full of drugs, obesity, underachievement and Labour MPs", in an article for the men's magazine GQ.
They demanded he apologise and visit the city. But the Conservative Party said figures backed Mr Johnson's comments and politicians should not criticise him for speaking the truth.

What caught my eye????? Handsom's post about politicians in London....it reminded me of a note that my son's school sent home, reminding the parents not to send their children to school with Coca Cola in thier lunches. I don't usually let my son drink soda...however, something in me gets irritated when schools tell me how to feed my child!

A friend of mine's son is in the Ana Sınıfı (like pre-school) at the local school and the mothers are given a weekly list of exactly what to put in their children's lunch packs!! Not sure if this is to avoid jealousy or to ensure they eat healthily! But I don't know if this is the custom all over Turkey or just something they do in this particular school

Well, Lis lets not forget that there lots of mothers who really don’t know how to feed their children and they let them eat all those goodies they love. I don’t let my son drink sodas either, especially if it is Coke..he knows he cant drink it unless he has my permission. But honestly, I see many mothers letting their kids eat so much junk…which really makes me upset sometimes, but what can I do? I can’t tell these mothers how to feed their children. So maybe they do this at school as a general reminder..not exactly directed to you

First they are telling you how to dress your child, now they are telling you how to feed your child? What's next???
How did your meeting with the principal go by the way?
