Mayoral As A Newt

Every now and then you read an article and the words , “What the f…” sit on your lips like a soundless freeze frame. I don’t like Ken Livingstone. I don’t like him because he has been part of the Labour plot to flood the Capital with Social housing and immigration .The GLA was Prescott’s front in this, as well as enforcer and it is the centre of London`s new rotten City Hall culture . This is especially true of the “ethnic” communities with who he has a corrupt and mutually oleaginous relationship involving the dispersal of huge public funds . I did not ,however , see him as the libidinously soused Boss Hog of London even if his supporters behaved as if he were . I saw him as puritanically obsessed and catastrophically wrong .
I was therefore astonished to see Martin bright (a Brown attack puppy) claim that ken Livinsgstone was an out of control sot who cannot leave the sauce for ten consecutive seconds .That , at least ,was the sub text. He “ Needs a whiskey to get through Mayor’s questions “ ,. On receiving at People’s questions at Ilford Town hall he was deeply into the tumblers of whiskey ,( he claimed it was for medicinal purposes). This was at 10.00 AM !!!
Now you start casting your mind back this is not the first time his out of control benders have come to grief .
“Allegations of a drunken party fracas involving the mayor surfaced in June 2002. The Evening Standard reported that Livingstone tussled with Robin Hedges, a friend of his partner Emma Beal, at a birthday party for Beal's sister in the early morning of 19 May 2002. He manhandled Beal, who was pregnant with their first child at the time, and left the scene before the police arrived and after Hedges had fallen down a stairwell; Hedges believed the Mayor was responsible for pushing him.”

And then think of how the famous anti semitic accusations started

“Finegold: Mr Livingstone, Evening Standard. How did tonight go?
Livingstone: How awful for you. Have you thought of having treatment?
Finegold: How did tonight go?
Livingstone: Have you thought of having treatment?
Finegold: Was it a good party? What does it mean for you?
Livingstone: What did you do before? Were you a German war criminal?
Finegold: No, I'm Jewish, I wasn't a German war criminal and I'm actually quite offended by that. So, how did tonight go?
Livingstone: Ah right, well you might be [Jewish], but actually you are just like a concentration camp guard, you are just doing it because you are paid to, aren't you?
……etc…”
He was out of his box wasn’t he and then you start to wonder how much of the inexplicable Livingstone gobbledygook has a simple explanation . He was piefaced soaked squiffy sloshed and all round ‘pissed as a newt’ not just a maniac but a dispsomaniac , takwe my word for it , I am an expert in drunken gibber and that is it .
Its a sobering though.
