Red Ken - Drunk in Charge

If you watch Martin Bright's Dispatches documentary on Channel Four tonight you will read Tom Griffin's posting about Dean Godson's neoconservative crowd at Policy Exchange.
and the history of the Godson family / father (US labour attache at the London Embassy) / brother, and their fascinating role in post war political smears - including the work of Brian Crozier (Institute for the Study of Conflict) , Lord Chalfont (who gave Dieogo Garcia (less it's troublesome inhabitants) , Woodrow Wyatt squirrel expert and father to the luscious Petronella AKA "Petsy" bicycle of the right and the mother of Boris Johnson's aborted love child, and latterly to David Frum, Telegraph/Spectator writers Charles Moore and Frank Johnson who have been so helpful to Martin.

It doesn't mean of course that Red Ken isn't a conceited, hopeless, arrogant and aggressive drunk who has happily diverted his gaze whilst some of the people who surround him have continued to benefit remarkably from having their hands in the trough of GLA funds... or benefit from ... well ... the Olympics is going to benefit many.... many people with interests in the Thames Estuary.. and they aren't all Ken's friends.

There is not shortage of shits, shysters and free - loaders amongst the Metropolitan muttering classes.

I wouldn't be too sure about that

and the old 'You're either with us or against' bipolar theatrics are increasingly losing their allure

Two wings of the same bird...

judging by this post and the comments underneath it, the reported antics of that mad mullah loving, anti-semitic (sic.) prank monkey Cuddly Ken seem to be having the desired effect
