I remember that Livingstone made unpleasant comments about UKIP the moment it was announced that the party had made spectacular gains at the last EU Election.

I have just been talking over the telephone to someone who also voted for Boris Johnson today and I expressed my disbelief (in that call) that one or two anti-EU people had stated here that they would not vote for the Conservative Boris Johnson (in today's London Mayoral vote) - thus increasing the chances of europhile Livingstone holding on to his job as Mayor of London.

Most of those who say they are anti-EU and who claim that they would not vote for Boris Johnson MP as Mayor on the pages of this forum do not live in London, I notice. They do not have to put up with Livingstone in the local media every day and they do not have to pay the high cost to keep City Hall - where he is based - going.
