As always a credit to London. Mayor Boris Johnson has given his considered response to BBC London after reports emerged that he had been trying to cosy up to News International, and sign commercial deals, with the disgraced newspaper group even as the Metropolitan Police were investigating it over phone hacking.
Johnson, who faces the polls on Thursday tried to get Rupert Murdoch’s company to sponsor a planned cable car and a new academy in east London.
As always we are told by a Johnson spokesman that “Boris has behaved with complete probity throughout this issue.”
There are many reasons to vote Labour and Ken Livingstone this week, but getting rid of this man should be reason number one.
