Mayor of London & London Assembly Elections
On with my life... April 22nd, 2008
Bear with me, this is a long, long post...A few days ago I received my postal ballot for the upcoming elections for the Mayor of London, and the London Assembly. Included was a handy booklet about the candidates and "what they say" - mini manifestos in other words. I'll not bother with the London Assembly elections, but here is my take on the candidates, in the order in which they were presented in the booklet, which can be found here.Richard Barnbrook, British National PartyI've made my feelings known about the odious cretins that make up this party. I am sickened and ashamed that they praise my grandfather's generation in the same breath that they adopt the very ideology that my grandfather's generation fought to save this country from. However, it is not fair to liken the BNP to...

BC is going to focus on the policies of the major parties which are contesting both sets of elections, but in the interests of balance we've included a full list of candidates too.We've used each candidate's official election materials to pull out a selection of their policies and promises which have some relevance to Brockley, and tried to present them in a balanced way. If you feel we've missed out or misrepresented something important then do please tell us so via the comments section!The mayoral elections:The high-profile struggle between Boris 'scourge of Liverpool' Johnson (for the Conservatives) and Ken Livingstone...
