Default JC...London Mayor?!?

Hm, what do you think? I'm still too shocked to say anything, although I don't live in London, not even in UK actually images/smilies/eek.gif


"For those of us with minds dark enough to envisage a world in which Jeremy Clarkson grips the reins of power, some welcome news.

The campaign to persuade the petrolhead to stand for the Tories as London Mayor - against the "newt-keeping lunatic" Ken Livingstone (his words) - faces opposition from his friend and Top Gear colleague Richard Hammond.

"If he stood he would win it," Hammond tells me. "But can you bloody imagine it? He'd be scary. He would roar around London in a Lamborghini with a huge mayoral flagpole, shooting cyclists. I hope he doesn't go for it."


I suspect the same to be true of staff at City Hall, fretting over the possibility of spray-on jeans becoming uniform."

That seems more realistic, because then he could change taxes images/smilies/wink.gif.
Anyway I thought the tories are going green these days? But then who could be greener than Ken.

Haha, that would be so cool! But.. Would he have time to do Top Gear? As gear as he would be as London mayor (at least for us foreigners - don't know about the people that actually live in London images/smilies/wink.gif), i'd much rather have him doing Top Gear.. And entertainment images/smilies/smile.gif

I would like to see a man with the mind of a 9-year-old in charge of one of the largest cities in the world. That would be hilarious images/smilies/lol.gif
