Ken Livingstones statement on Boris Johnson

I am glad that Ken Livingstone is confronting Boris Johnson by reminding us all bout his lack of judgement. It is important that we all remember who the Mayor is and how he handles major issues some times. Here is Ken's statement which I have reproduced below:


"Over the last few days the horrible truth about the reality of what was going on at the News of the World has been exposed for all to see. There are few words that can describe the hacking of murder and terrorist victims as well as the families of those who died serving our country abroad.


But I wanted to share a video with you today that I’ve just filmed. Last year Boris Johnson said that the phone hacking allegations were “a song and dance about nothing” and “politically motivated codswallop”. Click here to view

This morning when faced with the allegations he tried desperately to change his tune for ‍ an immediate enquiry”. Yet in April, just three months ago, he made light of the whole thing, saying it is “embarrassing for any self-respecting celeb that they haven’t been hacked”.

He has shown dire judgement. As Mayor, if he had taken a different approach when this story was first published the whole course of events could have been different.

I’m asking Boris Johnson a series of questions on my website that I think he has to answer. Click here to view

If you agree please share on twitter and facebook using the hashtag #codswallop.

Best Wishes, Ken"
