If only London had “caucus states,” the perhaps Ken Livingstone might still be mayor, maybe. But instead some wild-eyed madman named Boris, who honest-to-God refers to Africans as “piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles,” is running the show, which is really sort of scary when you think about it.
On the upside, Livingstone now gets to spend his time writing awesome opinion pieces for the Guardian Online. This one is all about the new mayor’s dumb plan to renege on London’s commitments to Caracas, or, as Livingston puts it, “a piece of mindless vandalism” motivated by “petty political vindictiveness,” designed to screw over the most desperate classes in both countries. Massa Boruhs shore don like tha po’ folk much neither, as it turns out.
