Ken Livingstone
British politician, who was the last leader of the Greater London Council from 1981 to its abolition in 1986, a Labour Member of Parliament for Brent East (1987–2000), and the first elected Mayor of London (2000–2008).
George Bush is just about everything that is repellent in politics... You have got this super-patriotic hawk who was a coward when his country was actually involved in a war and has the most venal and corrupt administration since President Harding in the 20s. He is not a legitimate president... This really is a completely unsupportable government and I look forward to it being overthrown as much as I looked forward to Saddam Hussein being overthrown.

World wide capitalism kills more people everyday than Hitler did. And he was crazy.
In this city 300 languages are spoken and the people that speak them live side by side in harmony.
This city typifies what I believe is the future of the human race and a future where we grow together and we share and we learn from each other.
I'm not in favour of the army, I'm in favour of replacing it with armed workers' brigades to defend the factories.
I know one thing... Ken Livingstone is a folk hero.
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the leader of the GLC!
