I'm not sure how I feel about this. I know he's made mistake, but he never made any - in that position you've got to trust the people below you, but at the same time, you should know what they're doing.

Hmm...

I think this was one of those occassions where the man in charge was the easy scapegoat. I never really held with the idea that because a person is in charge it somehow makes them culpable for the unpredictable actions of their subordinates.

I know what you mean, I always preferred Una Stubbs team.

I think you might have to give us a clue.

We have a winner!

It's been a good day on here. Best day for ages and ages and ages. I should call the mods cunts more often.

So tempting to pretend to be genuinely puzzled at this point

Apart from the fat one, natch.

Bloody hell, I was about to type that before I realised someone else already had.

I am slightly concerned that a "lack of support" from the mayor can lead to a resignation. Informal checks on power like that are hardly transparent and set a bad precedent for a big chummy boys club to be set up.

Just like Eton! Ah, good ole Boris. He was funny on Have I Got News For You, let's vote him in!

He might even become Tory leader one day, ergo Prime Minister when Cameron is ousted!

Please don't let this world ever exist.

Be Excellent To Each Other
