Livingstone is a disgrace!

I have said it for years - indfeed ever since I fist met the man in 1984: Ken Livingstone cannot be trusted.
Why do voters trust anything this man says?
Today, following a press release from Boris Johnson - Livingstone's Conservcatiove oppoent in the London Mayortal election - the Evening Standard has revealed that Livingstone has deliberately misled the public about potential fare rises.
Last year he apparently stated that rises over the next four years would be in line with inflation.
It has also emerged that just two weeks previously he had made a similar statement at a press conference. However, six days before that press conference Livingstone had already approved a plan by TfL to increase bus fares by 2% above inflation and tube fares by 1% both next year and the year after.
Have a look at the article by visiting:

Commenting on the revelations of Livingstone's secret plan and the fact he lied Boris said: “It is clear this Mayor cannot be trusted. He has become so arrogant and out of touch that he thinks he can deceive Londoners.
“Ken Livingstone has a history of making promises before elections and then changing his position after.
“Londoners deserve better than this. They have the choice between more of the same from Ken Livingstone or a new fresh approach if they vote for change on May 1st.”
