While eagerly throwing cash at St Patrick's Day bashes,
Ken Livingstone was dismissive about the claims of St George's Day, glibly
claiming that no one had asked him to support it. The Mayor of London
was, in fact, contacted more than a month ago by the Royal Society of
St George, which requested modest financial support for an event at the
Cenotaph.
It received a rejection slip from Ken's "external relations"
department stating that the mayor only supported "events celebrating
the contribution of London communities to the city's culture"
WATE's comment:Obviously the English haven't
contributed anything to London's culture!! I actually quite like Red Ken
- it's quite a rare thing to find an honest politician. Having said that,
he still speaks complete rubbish 90% of the time.
