[…] it’s big in the US, where Barack Obama is a big fan, and naturally after London elected their answer to ‘Change we can believe in’ in May, the Conservatives are equally enamoured with […]

We need to keep up the pressure. Boris is dangerous - can you imagine how he’d cope with a major terrorist incident? Or what he’ll do to PR for the Olympics? We need to look at everything he’s promised in his campaign, and make sure he gets bad publicity for every single failure. Now he’s got the job, I suggest we give him hell!

Thank you to everyone at Stop Boris, I’m sorry it didn’t work out, sorry for you, sorry for me, sorry for London. At least we tried. At least we will be able to tell our grandchildren what we were doing on May 1st 2008. A toast, to Mr and Mrs Boris Stopper. See you in four years time, we’ll kick the fucker out so hard his hair turns grey, and then nobody would ever re-elect him.

A valiant effort, but the harsh reality is that there are a lot of morons out there who subscribe to the politics of selfishness and fear….
Thanks for the hard work Mr & Mrs Stop Boris

Thank you for getting this campaign going. It has provided so many useful resources for trying to convince people of the wisdom of stopping Boris. We might not have succeed, but we did try.

Thank you, Paul.

As I’ve just mentioned over on the Facebook group’s Latest News bit, Ken’s total number of votes was higher than at the 2004 election by some way, which I think does suggest that the anti-Boris movement (not just us, to be fair) to get people out and voting against Boris definitely had an impact.

The trouble is that the Back Boris campaign was highly strategic, very well funded, and had very good connections with a range of right-wing media outlets. So they were able to do the same sort of thing we did with our ’side’ with theirs, to an even greater extent.

We did our best, though.

We tried our best folks.

I think tribute is due to Mr & Mrs Stop Boris for putting in so much work and inspiring so many people. I think we really made a difference; it just wasn’t big enough.
