On Islam

Quote:

"It is time to reassert British values…That means disposing of the first taboo, and accepting that the problem is Islam. Islam is the problem. To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture — to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques — it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions. The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? "When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass?

I'm just glad i don't live in London, however he will prove to be an embarresment to the entire country. The last Mayor was professional, admireable and had friends in governments all around the world, Boris is a bafoon.

Boris Johnson: I am descended from a Russian slave

Mr Johnson says his great-great-grandmother, a Circassian slave from a region in southern Russia, was sold to his great-great-grandfather after she fled from war to Turkey in around 1862.
She was set free only when the couple later married.

It's a shame that Ken Livingstone is going to be replace by a boofhead, but that's sometimes how these things go.

Well it is actually doubtful that, that is true

Quote:

He says his great-great-grandmother was sold to his great-great-grandfather and that she was only set free when they married. But intriguingly, when the BBC studied Johnson's story for a forthcoming edition of the BBC series Who Do You Think You Are?, in which celebrities trace their family trees, it was unable to find proof. A BBC source said that without the paper trail to back it up, the tale had to be treated simply as family folklore

It is a shame, the Facist BNP also got 70,000 votes. Funnily enough the BNP advised their voters to use their second vote to back Boris, no surtprises there.
