Boris is Mayor... update

So Boris is the new mayor of London then. I suppose it's evidence of how keen the people of the UK are just for a "change" of some sort.

UPDATE

So he's scrapped the mayor's free London newspaper. I can see what Ken was thinking in making it - give the people a common publication to try to create some sort of a sense of community (as close to a village newsletter as one can get in London), but it's a huge waste of paper, must have lead to hours of cleaning time on the tube (they're always rammed with them), and cost £3million! £1million going to plant 10000 trees on streets can only be a good thing - it'll make people happy, and hopefully give us all a little more oxygen!
