Red Ken can always get a job as a street sweeper in Pyongyang or Havana.

Thank goodness: Red Ken Livingstone is ousted from…

London’s creepy commie mayor, Red Ken Livingstone, has thankfully been voted out of office (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin). His successor is Boris Johnson….

I’d like to remind my fellow American conservatives that the “Conservative” Party in Britain is much different from ours and is not necessarily more allied with our ideals as the Blair/Brown Labour Party was. At least not as far as Foreign Policy issues are concerned.

The fact that the a party named “Conservative” overwhelmingly won over the Labour is not a good sign for us.

It’s a small start, but I don’t think it’s going anywhere. The conservatives in the UK have David Cameron, and that’s it. That party is filled with people who are so old, so dead and so boring that you’d have a hard time determining if they weren’t dead in their seats when you tuned in to BBC Parliament.

Now if the BNP gets more votes in the next election, that could be a big impetus for change. Just having one or two BNP MPs will really liven things up in the two huge slumbering parties.

Although it is a small one, there is a net gain here.

No matter who the mayor of London is going to be, it won’t be Ken Livingston, a POS of the highest order.

In a game of incrementalism, it’s a start that countries throw out extremely liberal politicians of the Schroeder, Chirac, and Livingston model who prove themselves unworthy.

Next may come not electing extremely liberal politicians in the first place to give them an opportunity to screw things up as they always do.

In this country we could start by not giving Obama or Clinton the possibility to be voted out of office later.

will conservatives take parliament in the UK and no one has reported on this?

Reading the Brit blogs makes it clear that unchecked immigration and failure to force integration of Islamic fundamentalists was a huge driving factor.

Common sense scores a rare victory over political correctness!

Londonistan gets a clue…

London’s Labour Party mayor, ‘Red Ken’ Livingstone, lost his bid for re-election to the Tory candidate, Boris Johnson.

Looks like Londonistan’s imams will have to find another sucker, and ‘red ken’ will have to return his knee pads.

Hey, post numbers 1, 4, 19, 21, and 22, Britain can come back. I have faith! Anything for the Union Jack.

Yes, I know, I know. I am a proud American, but England is close to my heart. I hope it can recover.

I’m very glad Ken is gone, but Boris as mayor of london… everyone I’ve spoken to is pretty much just laughing about this over here. Better to laugh than cry. And there’s next to no-one in our government that I’d trust in anything more challenging than a middle management position, so I guess he’s not too far off the “least worst” solution.

But hopefully this is a sign that come next general election we’ll get the conservatives in. Not because their policies are hugely different (the name ‘labour’ is a bit misleading since the move to ‘nu-labour’, more left of centre than actual left wing), but at least they won’t have spent the last 10+ years in power getting complacent. So we might see a bit of change.

Maybe.

Please.

Do the schools teach children about the extraordinary courage of the British people during WWII? Do the children know what it means to have a fierce love of freedom? Britain’s children probably don’t understand the history of their country any better than our children understand the history of ours. It breaks my heart.

In the late 1930s-early 1940s, when I was in grammar school, we included “The White Cliffs of Dover” among the patriotic songs we sang during weekly school assemblies. I don’t often wax nostalgic, but this thread brought back memories.
