Ken Losing Credibility Here
When the LibDems are making bar charts about your financial fakery you are beyond being in trouble. Mark Pack takes the credit for this chart. Don’t think Paddick will be winning here…
Another Blairite has come out of the woodwork to condemn Ken’s campaign. Andrew McMenamin is advising Ken to sack his campaign managers “the people running the politics of your campaign have messed up. Maybe that mess up was because they did not account for your mistakes, but that does not lessen their responsibility.” He also tells Ken to “abandon the core vote strategy you have followed”. Not sure that is wise, given Ken is now of necessity running a core-core strategy…
Ken never had any credibilty!
“When the LibDems are making bar charts about your financial fakery you are beyond being in trouble.”
More to the point, when those bar charts are actually *accurate*!
Can we have an open season on Ken every Spring? This has been almost as much fun as watching Dolly implode!
Quite frankly I’m getting fed up with this persecution. Why is Geedo not featuring all the other scum infesting Hogwarts?
Tell you what, once the mayoral election is over and Ken is thrashed and consigned to another four ears of whining then we’ll call it off eh?
At the moment though it’s looking like two major election defeats on the trot for Labour. First George Galloway thrashes ‘em and now Ken is looking to get a good kicking from Boris. Plus – if the news of Fake Ken, the blowhard who demands that others pay more tax but only pays an effective rate of 13% himself, gets out to the wider public it could be poison for the Labour’s chances in local elections nationwide.
The T*ries should be seeking to spread the news of this duplicitous Labour liars nationwide. Use Ken to smear the whole party.
Ken’s gonna cruise it. Green bird second. Doris a distant third. Wake up and smell the doo-doo.
If Ken does cruise it then Cameron had better drop everything and sort out this postal voting racket.
I’d rather know where Old Holborn’s got to.
“if the news of Fake Ken, the blowhard who demands that others pay more tax but only pays an effective rate of 13% himself, gets out to the wider public… ”
It aint gonna happen.

Dear old NonnyMong – you are getting desperate
Given how hopeless Labour are with Ken and Ed the Plonker it’s possible David Cameron rules unchallenged for decades.
Well I would Say yes but given the last month for the party all party figures seem to love being so terribly dire.
It doesn’t matter who rules as long as they do what the European Empire builders tell them to do.
Ollie Lock could lead me anywhere.

“Accounts of the EU” – oops I just have.
I guess some EU snitch will report me to the EU police / MET police / The Information Commissioner or some Marxist stipendary Judge / Mr Justice / Lord Justice.
“Fraud M’lud” – How can I be done for ‘contempt of court’ – When every British judge is ‘in contempt for failing to administer the laws properly – and in them horrible evil Family Courts of civil BUSINESS too’?
“SCANDALISING THE JUDICIARY” Huh! – They’re doing a fine job of it themselves and me thinks Leveson. Is he being coached by Hutton?
Every Judge who sentences someone to ” Life” imprisonment and then follows that by specifying a term of years which is anything but “Life” should be convicted of Contempt of Court and Perjury. Lying bastards.

Livingstone lies like a stinking fish.
It’s what he does.
It got his name on it.
Livingstone spelt L I A R…
Ken running from the b&p who are asking him about his taxes hides in the chippie. Starts 1.16 in
Where’s the chicken suit bloke this time?
Yes he does as he is in the Labour party and sums are not our strong point.
If Ken can’t talk straight about his own money there’s no way he should be in charge of London’s budget. Even the Lib Dems know this.
I trust Ken to do the right thing with the London budget: shovel it into my pockets.
Ken is the most obnoxious politician in modern times. A vote for this creature almosts invalidates the right to exercise that vote.
More nasty than Assad? Mugabe? Chavez? Admandinejad? Galloway?

I would love to believe in an afterlife because the thought that you would be spending eternity in hell being raped by Satan would cheer me right up. Same goes for Campbell and Brown. And Straw.

I nearly spat my wine when I read
“Boris Johnson is the Tories biggest weakness. Not because of his tax affairs or his colourful private life. But because he is a poor mayor, not least in comparison to you.”
Just like the advice as regards his tax … “stating it is over and attacking anyone who says it is not”
Yeah, he tried that and quite reasonably this failed – and if the numbers keep changing it most definitely isn’t over
I could cry.
Were you driving when you spat your wine ?
Ken will win and make London the beacon for 1slam that we all want. It will be a multi-cultural paradise with the hated English reduced to a tiny minority.
If he’s elected Ken will unite Londoners. All will be enraged by hefty Council Tax Bills, broken campaign promises and seeing their money doled out to crony groups run by Lee “Grasper” Jasper.
But by then it will be too late. Feet under the table and four more years of world-class scamming and patronage.
If Ken wins there will be race riots by the end of the summer
….with the hated English reduced to a tiny minority.”
If that was meant as a prediction then you clearly haven’t been to London recently.
“Andrew McMenamin is advising Ken to sack his campaign managers”
Hilarious. Ken should sack himself, he’s THE problem.
Now all I need is for Gordon Brown to endorse me.
I endorse Ken. He’s the right man for the job.
going forward
Don’t tell me, he’s well placed to weather the storm?
Robust Chappie..
Bung me a nice one and I will. It will go into my shell-corporation, something you’re familiar with, I’m sure. I don’t work cheap, you know; my predecessor taught me that much. Former Ministers and PM’s have a standard to uphold, you know; can’t just endorse any old sad sack o’ shite who comes along, especially one who seems to have his thumb in his bum, without a bit of the old folding stuff in consideration whereof, as we say. In cash; I must stress this part strongly. Have a nice day, Ken.
This is no time for a novice – London needs a clapped-out 68 year old…oh (bites nails)
Indeed Ken is the right man for the job. Lessons have been learned.
Labour are turning on each other now in a blame game. They know they’ve lost.
Mind you with twin leadership from Red-faced Ken and Ed Miliband, everyone knew this months ago.
£60, odd thousand?, bollocks! somebodies dropped an 0 before the apostrophe.
I’m shocked – shocked, I tell you – at such wanton abuse of the electorate.
I alsho endorsh Ken. Go on, my shon. And make mine a treble.
Fuck off back to scotchland you hand wringing piss artist.
Hiya Charlie. I’m having a bad time of it as well. Some B*stard is exposing all the corruption that I control in Portsmouth, we also have a major police investigation going on into the Council, about this corruption. Does any one who reads this blog know who these whistleblowers are, so that my boys can deal with them? They keep posting on the local newspaper’s website exposing me, I used to get their comments moderated, but not any more, since the Katia incident. Boaz, and my boys and the bent council officers say Boaz as well.

Hey Handy, for god’s sake do not reveal that I was the Guest of Honour at your Portsmouth Businessman of the year dinner, when I was Chancellor; that Fred Goodwin attended, and that the then Businessman of the year, is a big time drug dealer and major property developer in Portsmouth. Please don’t reveal that we set up the asylum seekers scam at that dinner and that Fred and the RBS provided the money for the development. If you do I am finished.
Gordon, we learned everything we knew from Handy and it does not surprise us at all that he involved people at top of politics in his corruption. He also told us he had protection at the very top of politics and we now know why from your post. We have learned everything we know from Handy, our hero, and his corruption in Portsmouth City Council. Jahbulon.
Not surprised Ken had his earnings wrong, the calculator he uses seems to under values all the figures he spends and over values any spending done by his opponents.
HMRC could have a field day looking in to his finances.
It’s too late to ditch Ken and start over – so get ready for the dirtiest labour campaign you’ve ever seen.
I dare say your right but on past records that’ll really take some doing.
Here’s why Ken will win
Yep, they see nothing wrong in having 29 Mr Muhammad’s registered to vote at a one bedroom flat.
Actually it’s a four bedroom house and I have eight people registered to vote. There’s me… and my mum and dad….. and my sister [pauses for mental calculation]..and … my husband (mustn’t forget him)… and.. my grandmother… although she’s in Ban*gl*ad*esh at the moment… and … and… two lodgers.. [pause for more mental maths...]
Fucking farcical.
Classic. 77 voters registered in eight properties that he controls.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Only 77 ? We demand a recount.
Toothbrushes – as a means of verification of eligible voters. Genius. You could also count chairs, plates, windows, doors… just make sure you don’t count people living in the house.
And another thing, it’s good to see that George Galloway does not like the idea of postal voting on demand, and can see the potential for electoral fraud.
So this is what the 5th “don’t vote Ken” update today. Each time various Tory HQ ‘volunteers’ come on and shout ‘Liar’, “Down with the BBC”, “Screw Brown and Blair” etc etc meanwhile nothing changes – nor will it if Boris or Ken gets in (just a few different advisors will get fat cheques for doing diddly squat. Those of you not working for central office or Boris HQ should see this all as a part of a long term strategy to get Cameron elected next election and continue the squeezing of middle british income both parties have been pursuing since about 1950….
down with ken
How true FKMF, the people who post against Livingstone are all Tory plants.
Trouble with that theory is, when Miliband, Cameron or Clegg are mentioned here, the vitriol is aimed squarely at them too. How odd eh? Perhaps most posters here say a pox on all the crooks, liars, thieves and self enriching posuers, that are ruining this country and it’s democracy, assisted of course, by the ever willing, lying BBC.
Perhaps you might care to take your head out of your arse at some stage and take a good hard look at our political class and the media, who play along with the charade?
Bollox you karnnt.
Any decent person, whether of the left or right, does not support Ken. Only someone in Ken’s own entourage would post that load of shite.
Ken is a lying hypocritical tax-dodging fuckwit.
Have a look at the Grauniad or the various shite labour sites. Most Labour supporters have the same kontempt for Ken that the general public does.
Is newtface ever going to publish his tax returns?
I just shredded my expenses and got away with it.
It seems odd to me that the department in the HoC who repay expenses do not seem to retain a record of who claims/is paid what amount.
Should there be such a system, surely it would be possible to ascertain Blair’s position?
There is and they can be.
I just released my tax return for 2011 tax year, Ken. Two days before the deadline, true, but still…
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-tax-return-shows-2011-earnings-789-674-145513333.html
I’m not going to make the deadline, but the provisional return I have to file to get an extension shows you pretty much how much I make– Americans file extensions only if they figure to get a refund (which I do), since you get whacked by the Internal Revenue very severely for failing to file something and have some sort of overestimate paid in by 15 April. I’ve paid in about USD 3.4 mill and if my accountants can just dig me up some records of my deductions, my tax liability will be about 200K less than that. 3.4 is about what my tax was last year on an income of USD 21 mill, so figure I’ve made something in that range this year as well. I’d give you more specifics, but when you’re as rich as I am, you pay other people to worry about all that shit. Fortunately, my people are a bit more on the ball than Ken Livingstone’s; probably slightly more honest, too.

These leftie politicians are vile. They’re like vicars dipping into the christmas fund.
Nothing wrong with that, it’s what we called the redistribution of wealth.
Up the revolution brothers!
6 months to live?
Well eventually it’s true for all of us isn’t it? That’s how the labour politicians justfied their lies! Well done gordon!!!
Well spotted Nell. When somebody asks Alex Salmond what the fuck he was playing at letting Megrahi go (apart from the fact he was innocent) he’ll not doubt say it was because he had only three months to live.
It’ll be our fault for not asking which three months.
Send him to the NHS. That should finish the mass murderer off. The NHS is allegedly on its death bed as well – according to the Labour twits. So let both die together.
We should definitely hire those Libyan cancer specialists. What’s that now? Three years into his last six months?
But we can rebuild him!
Kirkcaldy and the aircraft carrier contract.

What again?
I thought he’d already carked it.
dodgy Ken has done immense damage to the image of UK politicians .
He has confirmed our belief that our politicians are corrupt, inept and self serving.

Is it on iTunes? I’m a big fan of songs about root vegetables, especially The Beeten Generation by The The.
I suspect Sir Aston that you’ll need to ask sionsimon and twatson about that. That’ll be one of their little ditties!
Nell, you are very tolerant of this never-ending turnip meme. Admirable, I say, and dignified. As for the two creatures you mention, I would pay good money to have no contact with them whatever. And as for the music, Beethoven trumps Jasper Carrott every time.
Beethoven, Sir Aston is stunning but I do believe Chopin is my favourite.
As for sionsimon and twatson I hope they remain in public view for a very long time – they remind us how badly the labour party has deteriorated from the early days of a party that was founded to protect interest of the real working classes. The founders must be turning in their graves at this worthless, self-serving, rich by troughing of the taxpayer, bunch that now call themselves labour!
As for fresh vegetables – labour taught that they are a) poisonous and b) boring. No wonder obesity bloomed under 13 years of labour!

Well Bless is that labour’s response to the electorates concerns about failed and corrupt politicians!
Says everything there is to say about the moral decline of the labour party then doesn’t it!!!!

http://www.urbanintelligence.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/take-courage.jpg
Has only got any relevance to people in advancing years that used to like a pint.
Actually that Courage advert was good for loads of real working class folk.
Labour doesn’t understand real working class folk anymore.They’ve completely lost contact with those of us who have had to earn a living and raise a family through difficult times.
Their experience of life is living in expensive houses, having chauffeur driven cars, drinking champagne and eating in 5 star restaurants.
The real labour party is dead!
Modded again! Guido your modding has reached the heights of stupidity much like the labour party has reached the depths of idiocy!
Calm down dear!
F’uck off to bed then
Oh not until we’ve put ken and militwit to bed first sweetie!
‘Mr rich champagne socialist ken’ has lost more than 10% of his vote tonight and is trailing boris by 6%.
Isn’t Harriet Harman working class enough for you?
Ken will be trotting out the same excuses as Harry Redknapp on his inability to pay income tax.
I, am proud to announce that this years winner of the Nobel prize for fiction is Ken Livingstone for his outstanding book, “The lying hypocrite and other short stories.”
Ha, ha. Boris is soo not a hypocrite, then?
Depends how you define “hypocrite”
He was a journalist.
All politicians are hypocrites it is a requirement of the job.
Ken however is a very superior case of hypocrite and has been more than happy to prove it publicly!
*licks nell’s imaginary bottom*
militwit’s and ken’s supporters really are the dregs of society!
Front or back bottom?
So compared to Livingstone’s tax affairs no. Perhaps you should look up hypocrite in a dictionary before posting a bloody stupid comment.
Piss off, you tart.
What a stuck-up wanker.
The internet is full of twats like Stu
Ken, you’re pissed again, now fuck off.
Labour’s risible responses to criticism of tax dodging, cronyism and economic mismanagement that has impoverished all of us except them is utterly nauseating!
Watching H a r r y’s Arctic Heroes on 534. Soldiers who’ve lost arms, legs, broken backs etc in A fg ha nis ta n, walking to the N orth Po le.
This, Ken, is what courage and honesty is about.
Proof positive that there’s numbers, funny numbers – and Redken numbers.
Ken’s income = (d+ih)
Where d = declared income
and h = hidden income.
Complex numbers indeed.
Known as the Livingstone Conjecture
Ken says that his accountant didn’t know the true 2008 figures he signed off – presumably the tax return his accountant produced is therefore wrong by 40 k
Gordon and Ed Bollokov always got confused with all those big numbers too.
I suspect that Ken has finally turned all his numbers over to a grown-up who is now trying to sort out what Ken should have declared, what expenses were allowable and how much tax he should have paid. This increase to 60K+ will be part of that. Right now new accounts will be winging their way to the taxman and a suitable cheque made out.
In a day or two after the weekend Ken will declare the taxman is totally happy and he has paid all taxes due (the words and tenses being carefully chosen to suggest that this was always the case rather than a very recent development). Time to move on.
Look over there! A plane!
I think this is the point in a political career where one says – too far gone and no chance of recouping the losses!
Presumably he is registered for VAT? And HMRC will be surcharging him?
He might have to explain what happened to the two imaginary people he ‘employed’ to work on his campaign.
To be fair they weren’t imaginary in fact one of those employed was his wife.
Well as we’ve all been saying – ken and his lies and his accountant’s incompetence are just cementing our belief that labour is completely incapable of economic management!
No wonder ken is protecting the name of his accountant . Given the publicity surrounding ken’s dodgy accounts who would ever want to employ ken’s accountant for any accountancy work?!!!
No wonder ken is protecting the name of his accountant
I’m betting that up until a couple of days ago there was no accountant.
Doesn’t Red Ken use sharia accounting ?
Would that mean we could use Sharia law on him?
[Goes to search for whetstone in shed]
Shall we order in a crane or a large wall ready to topple
Just had a horrible thought! I do hope ken’s accountant isn’t the same one that’s dealing with labour’s £30million debt.
If it is , not just ken and the labour party are heading for disaster but their accountants as well.
I think, before any of we decent hardworking folks get caught up in their web of incompetence, we need to know who they are!
His accountants did Sterling work for MGN.
£60,000 still seems a bit light to me.
Where’s the rest of it?
We should all regret the sad decline of the ral labour party into dishonesty, lies and filthy lucre. It was once a Great movement formed from the travesties and tragedies of the working classes who lived and died trying to feed and clothe their families.
Now labour is about champagne socialists like livingstone, bobcrow, bliar and the militwit brothers who live in properties worth £million plus, dine in 5star restaurants and drink £100 bottles of champagne whilst laughing at the hardworking classes decently toiling to make a living for their families!
Nowadays they have as much connection to we working folk as castro or kim il sung have to their impoverished masses!
I agree with everything you said apart from “It was once a Great movement”.
It’s a party by and for m-ongs. Is, was and always will be.
Ken running for Mayor under the Labour ticket just shows how incredibly weak Miliwonk is. He would have known that red Ken was not up to it but he was powerless to stop him.
No. What’s really telling about the weak labour campaign is the torrent of abusive and foul language labour are using rather than engaging in considered debate about their positive attributes.
Clearly they think it is better to swear at people and denigrate them rather than to persuade us with reasoned argument that there are benefits to vote for them!
Somebody needs to teach them about the parable of the Sun and the Wind!!
Labour have turned into a bunch of thugs.
This isn’t politics, it’s just plain old-fashioned bullying.
Actually I think we real working class folk should say ‘Thank You Ken’ because he has highlighted the real failed, troughing labour party that is, fighting like rats in a sack’ to make each and everyone of themselves rich at our expense!
what? unlike the real troughing tories? what ever happened to those large donors???
Large donors? D’ya mean UNITE and those sort of troughers?!
You Know – Government gives to UNITE- UNITE give to the labour party? Well after labour mp’s have taken their cut and then wined and dined folks like bullyballs and bobcrow with loads of champagne and stuff.
Good Life if you’re in the right labour circles isn’t it?
precisely. At least the Tory donors are giving their own money and not ours.
I was found not guilty of that.
It was a trumped up defence.

Just another item not reported at all by the bbc who lost all credibility a long long time ago, just like their favoured protege Livingstone.
Ahh. the beeb. Biased broadcasting company in the pay of unions and labour. ie Dont expect us to report anything that is balanced or reasonable!
We only only give you an extremely leftwing point of view whilst drinking champagne and throwing the empty bottles into the corridors for working class plebs to clear up after us!!
The expenses debacle proved they can’t be trusted
Every rat in Parliament should have been busted
Fiddling their taxes? Now, there’s a surprise
About as gob-smacking as their porky pies
The political class, though, is not to blame
The voters get shat on yet still vote the same
And now London’s to be a beacon for Islam
But all Ken gets panned for’s the usual tax scam
you can play missing words (P43do-profit) with that article…
I love the p33do pr0phet! Oooh, how his followers enrich our country, with their p33d0phil!a. And I love how they want to k!ll g-ays. G@y-bashing is so cool!
Now, I would chat more, but I have to go and tell all the g-ay people how much I love them.
Sock-puppet. Your real name’s Ken-L.
Good Night Sweet Dreams.
Be interesting to see if the labourparty / bullyballs/ militwit/ twatson /livingstone et al can actually tell us in one succinct sentence what the labour party today can do for today’s real working classes.
Go on! Give it a Go!!
OT, but why is Eric Pickles failing to sort out councils like Waltham Forest while other ministers are shovelling funds at them?

The whole shebang’s got just one joke:
Cock Britain up until it’s broke
Errrr – it was already broke when Labour lost the election. Liam Byrne wrote a letter saying they’d spent all the money.
So actually, the fact that the country is broke had a lot to do with them, didn’t it!
Excuse me, C-o-b, for having lacked clarity
‘Tween Lib, Lab and Tory’s no jot of disparity
In absolute worthlessness they’re joint world champs
It’s time the electorate doused ALL their lamps
When Ken chose to campaign on tax
He’d overlooked one little fact
That the thick bloody crook
Had cooked his own books
And when that emerged he was fucked
Andrew McMenamin is advising Ken to sack his campaign managers
This a cart-horse, horse-cart error.
Ken Livingstone should not sack his campaign managers. Ken Livingstone’s campaign managers should be sacking him!
This is very unfair. Ken is not losing credibility over his taxes. Yes last weeks polls did show his credibility fell by 30% but 70% of zero is still zero so it hasn’t really lost any credibility at all.
I have been browsing online greater than three hours lately, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty value enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
