Ken Livingstone

[mistryman]

For jaunting off to Cuba and Venezuala on taxpayers money. What purpose is there for him to do that? I hate the barsteward.

[Top Dog]

Maybe he needs his suntan topping up.

For once we agree, he's nothing but a spouse beating, free loading thug.

Seems he is in for a rough time when he returns.

"Cara-ckers Ken blows £35,000 on oil trip farce", the guy thinks he is more important than he is, is ego needs to deflate, who makes these decisions allowing him to jet off around the world on tax payers money?

A few years ago I worked in the Soviet Union, my job was to try and develope cultural relations between the Uk and the Soviet Union, organise exchange art exhibitions and organise educational visits for schools from the UK to the USSR and vice versa.

Never once did it cost me a penny, all hotels were booked and paid for by the Soviets, cars picked me up from the airport, food was organised and translaters were assigned.

I could spend 2 weeks in Leningrad and Moscow three times a year, and it was extremely difficult to spend any money.

Maybe Red Ken wasn't invited, looking at the reports, they didn't have time to see him. Obviously he wasn't invited and decided to do this on his own initiative with the cost being paid by the rate payers of London. That's total misconduct, the moron should be in front of the beak for theft, business meetings are planned well in advance and reciprical exchange invites are normal. When I had delegates from the Soviet Union here in London, we paid, for accommodation, travel and cultural visits. It was equal almost to the costs that they incurred by inviting us to their country.

Footnote my thoughts have been forwarded to the Evening Standard.

How you know that man, he beats his woman, doubt it man, he would be jumped on by the papers the man wouldn't be able to hide that, because lot of people hate him.

It was reported in the newspapers and on T.V. He smacked his bird at a New Year's party I do believe but like the expert he is, he wriggled out of it. Apparently he becomes an even bigger prick when he drinks,

[Top Dog]

I wish my prick would get bigger when I drink.

For some reason mine swells to enormous proportions when I look at your avatar!
