While #SadiqKhan won the #election for #LondonMayor, beating #Tory candidate #SusanHall, after a very fractious campaign, the quote of the day belongs to one of the minor candidates standing, #CountBinface (no relation to #LordBuckethead), who still beat the #BritainFirst's #NickScanlon and said,
"It looks like I have defeated Britain First in an election.
“Come on, you have to cheer about that…down with fascism, up with Ceefax, what can I say?”
She ran an appalling campaign that belonged in the 20th Century. Tory HQ seemed to know they had a dud on their hands right from the start. They are in collapse.
The Tory candidate for Mayor is an outright fascist and xenophobe (they often come in pairs I understand). Surely she was selected as a bard joke - after all they got away with the oaf as mayor before….
Short reflections from Nick Tyrone on why it's a huge mistake for the Tories to sneer at London as if anyone beyond the M25 hates it. I live about 60 miles from Hyde Park Corner. I lived in London when I left university. My sons live there. I go regularly to see friends, go to the theatre and galleries, and I love its multicultural richness. Sneering at London is not the vote winner they seem to think. #London#SadiqKhan#GTTO#SusanHall#Tories https://nicktyrone.substack.com/p/this-week-in-brexitland-march-28
