The Mayor of London tends to make a lot of news. He's been in a little trouble
recently for comparing a reporter to a 'war criminal' because the reporter had the audacity to ask him if he was enjoying a party. When the reporter (who happened to be jewish) claimed offense, he was then compared to a concentration camp guard.
Livingstone will probably never apologize. He's a socialist, which means that he's pretty openly against a free press, frequently compares anyone he dislikes to nazi's, and hails himself as a champion of the people; a "moderate" hated by
genocidal socialists for wearing slightly the

"It casts light on the character of the guy who is an elected politician," he told Sky News.
It also casts a light on the character of the politicians, newspapers, and voters who supported him. He is a very sad
little man. Not only had he driven local crime rates through the roof, he has no faith in the validity of
elections. Since he's won some, I can see why.
Goe, glad he's not a Euroweenie.
