Yes! Lambeth not such a shit hole now eh! If anyone Can, Ken Can!

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 22:54

could croydon possibly go to ken?

onebatmother · 02/05/2008 22:55

oh we're fucked. bollocking arses.

beansprout · 02/05/2008 22:55

Just spent the last hour feeding ds2 (it's all "me, me, me" with babies, isn't it? ).

Still depressed and am off to bed now.

London will be a bleaker place in the morning.

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 22:55

Fox, if we go to second votes, does that mean we're talking 4am or something for the result?

staranise · 02/05/2008 22:55

M&W will be Boris

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:56

YOU CAN'T GIVE UP!

btw Bromley's catchphrase weirdly is actually "The London Borough". Why I have no idea...

I can't believe London is choosing such a nitwit to make decisions for them. I was appauled when the Tories chose him, but never dreamed he might win

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 22:56

bbc news 24 is rubbish, they've just done sport and now they're on finance. i guess they do broadcast to more than londoners.

policywonk · 02/05/2008 22:56

I've only just worked out that FIS's %s are of votes counted, not total votes.

staranise · 02/05/2008 22:57

at Bromley catchphrase. Not trying to disown the Kent connection by any chance?

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:57

I'm hoping they are counting second votes at the same time as the first ones...but still, yes it will take a bit of time to organise and check I suppose.

With 10/14 counted, I can't believe it will take that long for the last 4 to come in. It really doesn't look like one of them will get 50% unless the last 4 are all resoundingly one way.

Heathcliffscathy · 02/05/2008 22:58

is there a fuc-KEN chance? hehe

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 22:58

have you had a bath?

onebatmother · 02/05/2008 23:00

oh crikey, I really can't believe that Coco the fucking scary clown is going to be deciding anythingn more than what should be the leader on a publication read by people who don't read.

gah.

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:01

labour doing ok in the london assembly

policywonk · 02/05/2008 23:01

Yes thanks, am fragrant. Didn't exfoliate though - too excited!

elkiedee · 02/05/2008 23:03

Well, I'm glad and a little surprised even that Enfield and Haringey somehow stayed Labour. Still think the Mayoral result won't be good news but at least they're not getting it all their way.

The Tories also lost a council seat in a London bye-election today - Camden's Highgate got a 3rd Green councillor, Tories came 3rd, Lib Dems 4th.

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:05

I am lol at you trying to steal your mum's vote. Sorry to hear she is ill.
