It is so disappointing. If this is true, well I'm trying to look on the bright side with the following points: A) - MOST IMPORTANT! - but petty - if it all goes wrong - we get to say "I told you so"! B) - If it doesn't all go wrong, we say "Well we said Boris was a high risk gamble, I guess it did pay off this time..." C) - Next time there's a tube strike we go picket City Hall asking where our no strike deal went (the most ridiculous of all of Boris's "policies"), and generally get to be really vocal when things don't really change for the better. D) - If it comes out that the whole Lee Jasper thing really is actually quite bad, we say, maybe we got the better of two evils in the end... E) - (taken from a comment on Charlie Brooker's column) If the tories make a mess of London, when it's GE time will the population really trust them to run the country again? (probably looking on the bright side here, Labour seem to be in a lot of trouble at the moment) And above all, I' m just glad the whole thing is nearly over, because without looking at this website every day, I'm far less likely to have rude Boris-dreams any more (I had another one last night, dear god...) I really think someone should set up a "Boris-watch" website, to keep track of how he is delivering on all these promises he's made. Though I may not look at it, due to the reason above...!

I'll be doing a post shortly rounding up post-ballot comment and speculation from the media and parties.

The Conservative Party are saying it, the Labour Party are saying it, the Lib-Dems are saying it. We tried, and it was a valiant effort, but it looks like London has fallen.
