Did you see that the most recent opinion poll gives current London Mayor Sadiq Khan a commanding lead over every other candidate. This means that in all likelihood he will gain another four years in power. If this happens, what will become of our once loved Capital city?

There is an old saying that if voting actually changed anything, they wouldn’t let us do it! Do you think there is wisdom in this, or is it just cynicism? The older I get the more I see it to be true. The illusion of having a functioning democracy because you have a choice between the

Crimea has been part of Russia since 1783, and the majority of people living there see themselves as Russian and speak Russian.

His oily managerial style inspires no-one, his lack of vision is there for all to see, and he must know that whenever he calls the General Election at some point this year, he will pull the curtain down on not just his lousy Administration but 13 years of UnConservative rule.
