"Mr Johnson's victory crowns the Conservative Party's May Day local election wins in England and Wales."

  FTA: "Mr Livingstone's defeat ended what Gordon Brown called a 'bad' day for Labour, in which it suffered its worst council results for 40 years.
  "Asked by the BBC what his views were on the poor Labour showing, Mr Johnson said: 'The smart thing for Labour to do would be to quietly to remove Gordon Brown and install [Foreign Secretary David] Miliband, is my view, but I don't think they'll do it.'"

Good riddance to bad rubbish (LivingCrone).... Alas, he'll probably end up with a job in the EU's parliment.... Where he can cause yet more damage & feed from the trough.....

I find it interesting that in places where they have lately had a liberal government, they are now electing conservative leaders, ie. France, England. Conservatism seems to be on the rise. Liberal Americans should be embarrassed that the Europeans are wising up sooner than they are.

Well, after a while even the most obtuse usually realize that socialism never works anywhere or any time it's tried and capitalism works every time it's tried every where.
