Boris Gaffe Thread
Gaffe #1:
The case of the London boy who was tragically stabbed to death with a piece of glass at the weekend has elicited this response from our esteemed Mayor:
"This is why we need metal detector arches".

Gaffe #2
Idea: Boris wants to have people arrested for "quality of life" crimes in order to make society more responsible
Reality: Boris cycles to County Hall, jumping three red lights and mounting the pavement.

Re: Boris Gaffe Thread
Robbie's really hurting now that Kenny's been ousted!!
How many more imaginary Boris gaffes need to come yet Rob to make up
for Ken's cheek kissing and hugging of known pro Bin Laden Muslim clerics
who openly espoused the 7/7 bombings ...
or the insulting of a jewish reporter whilst negating the after effects of the
Holocaust...
or indeed, this peach ... handing over (unaccounted) £2 Mill
of public funds to his mate to fund a so-called charity in Lewisham ... and when, abra-cadabra ...
the dosh disappeared, implementing his Mayoral powers in refusing to hold an investigation
nor having the police intervene .....
However, I do personally believe that Boris ought to be docked 3 penalty points and have his Raleigh impounded indefinitely for the heinous crime of jumping 3 traffic lights ...

A spokesman for the pavement denied the allegation and confirmed they were just good friends

There are rumours of a suit, but nothing concrete.

PMSL.
2 weeks in the job and Boris is already being talked of in "riot" terms!
The Livingstonians really are missing their mentor!!
Perhaps he ought to seriously consider hiring Red Ken as his spin doctor ...
that old bugger literally got away with murder ... and got away he did!
Such were his mayoral powers!

Re: Boris Gaffe Thread
I had to laugh when he walked on stage to make his acceptance speech for the Mayorship... and promptly tripped over.
As a northerner, I don't really give a toss who is Mayor of London. I'm hoping Boris accidentally nukes the place so I don't have to keep going down there with work.

Pretty strong defense, mate. You're not aforementioned Boris, are you?

Gaffe #3
Problem: many taxi drivers are not bothering to take their bi-annual MOT test as per legislation.
Solution: Boris changes the law so that cabbies have to MOT their vehicles annually instead of bi-annually.
Outcome: Boris has made the cabs less safe.

Can they really do enough mileage to need a roadworthy test twice a bloody year?

Typical Tories using the opinion polls to make some pissy little promises for all the 'I'm alright Jacks' out there.

AFAIK they do about 30K miles a year. Since your average provate motor needs an MOT every 12-15K miles (on average) I'd say that cabs should be tested every 6 months or 15K miles, whichever comes sooner.

Re: Boris Gaffe Thread
I do something like 40,000k per year. A fair percentage of that on rough unsealed roads. The car gets serviced regularly, but hasn't had a roadworthy since I bought it. My mechanic and I make sure it's safe.S F Barnes wrote:AFAIK they do about 30K miles a year.
