Okay, Roy, but do you not see something anomalous in supporting Ken's
munificence without actually having to pay for it? Maybe if you lived
in London and saw your Council Tax bill rising inexorably, you might
think differently.

Well I lived in London for about 3 and a half years paying council tax
- I just managed to miss voting in the mayoral elections both times!
I don't see how the fact that I no longer live in London means I don't
have the right to have an opinion that he's done, and doing, an
excellent job as Mayor and that if I was part of his electorate again
I'd vote for him.

I voted for him last time and I've not regretted that decision and will most likely vote for him again if he stands.

I may not agree with everything he does or says but overall I think he's doing a good job for London and Londoners.
