I would apologise for the appalling slur against your character that I made by suggesting that you were part of the Back Boris campaign, but since you're such a keen supporter of it I don't suppose you thought it was a slur anyway! ;) Thanks for the clarification Elisbeth.

I do, however, strongly support Mr Johnson's candidacy and think he will be a much better mayor than Ken Livingstone. I was simply hoping that you, like some other blogs, linked the poster's name to the website provided when asked for a URL. Just a slight correction- I’m not ‘one of the team’.

They're all piling in today. Elisbeth gives her URL as BackBoris.com so we know she's one of the team. But I particularly can't get over the irony of the comment from 'jeh'. He accuses me of being a paid subsidiary of the Ken machine (which for the umpteenth time I am most definitely not - I'm neither paid for anything to do with Stop Boris, nor in any way part of the Ken campaign team), while over on his own social networking profile he reveals that his job is: <blockquote>Web and Merchandise Manager and Communications Team Member for Back Boris for London 2008</blockquote> I also learn from the same profile that his "work was featured on page 15 of the Evening Standard". Interesting to hear that the campaign team are getting things in print in the <em>Evening Standard</em>. I wonder if it was masquerading as news.

He, and many of his supporters, have repeatedly told the lie that Boris is going to scrap the Freedom Pass. It's clearly not true and Boris's pledge to not only keep it, but to work with the local boroughs to extend it to 24 hours, is on his website and in his transport manifesto. Scaring pensioners- just another underhanded tactic brought to you by Leavingsoon and his cronies. It’s not Boris’s campaign trying to scare people- it’s Ken’s.
