Boris made an election commitment to “Scrap the Bendy Buses” and has launched a competition for a replacement design. Indeed having seen some of the entries so far the Celtic Sage is sorry he didn’t buy a new box of crayons and enter himself – although it has to be said that the artistic possibilities of drawing a Big Red Box with a...Read Full Story

Mayor Boris Johnson Boris Johnson’s speech to Tory party conference this week highlighted the complacency that characterises his mayoral term. Amid the jokes for the Tory faithful there was a series of assertions on crime and policing that illustrate just how out of touch the Conservative mayor is. He claimed that crime in London was falling, saying ‘if we can keep cutting crime’, yet the Mayor’s own crime figures show burglary, robbery and knife crime rising in London. The latest...Read Full Story
