London's New Mayor is a Winner

By Steve George



The London South committee would like to congratulate Boris Johnson and all activists who helped make his campaign such a stunning success. For months on end, CF members paced the streets of London spreading the message and working hard to deliver Boris into City Hall.

After only a few days in the job, Boris is making a huge difference through swift and decisive action. He is already taking steps to stamp out anti social behavoir by banning booze on the tube and is reaching out to youths by appointing experienced leader Ray Lewis as deputy for young people. Such effective and insightful leadership is cast iron proof that Boris is the man to lead London forward.

Having Boris as Mayor is like a breath of fresh air for all of us. For too long London had suffered from the corruption of Ken Livingstone’s administration and its lacklustre approach to record levels of knife and gun crime.

During his campaign, Boris had to endure a series of callous smears from the likes of the Guardian’s leading champagne socialist Polly Toynbee. Despite the mountains of mud these grotesque commentators chucked at him from their million pound homes, Boris kept moving forward to victory.

We now have a mayor who understands the needs of the people of London and will do everything in his power to tackle crime head on.
