Mayor of London

In recent months the current mayor of London has made some changes; a new map and names for the overground trains and ULES charges for higher emission vehicles. It's open to debate whether or not it's a good idea. No doubt I would do things differently if I was the mayor. 

Firstly I would have aluminium frames built above the open air portion of the metro rail with scaffolding that houses solar panels, I would get investors to pay for it and give them handsome returns to encourage them to invest a lot more. The space above the trains would become an asset to London transport because it sells electricity back to the national grid. 

Then I would introduce the 'small talk code', I would announce that if you wear a cap or t-shirt with red and green stripes, it means you're up for small talk. Perhaps people could have key words on their t-shirts for an ice breaker, like sports and computer games. London lacks small talk yet it is essential for mental health. I would have canvas printed signs attached to lamp posts to show everyone the ' small talk code'. 

I have many ideas that I think would be useful, boat rides to Southend for the tourists if they want to visit the coast and things like that. 

The problem is I have no prestige or status in society so my ideas will stay in my head. Never mind. Perhaps someone with a high status will read this post one day. 

That is the problem with society, you need a high status or prestige before anyone will listen to you. You could have a solution to a big problem and it would stay with you till you die. 

London backstab

It has been a year since I left London and made a small commuter town beyond the M25 my home but a few years before I left, I voted for Sadiq Khan to be Mayor of London. Looking back I regret the vote because he was show-boating and acting like the foreign secretary or various other cabinet members but knife crime went up on his watch significantly.  There was hundreds of incidents involving stabbings and acid attacks. He didn't seem to do the job he was paid to do. He isn't making London a safe place.

There is little being done to stop the huge crimes from happening in London. Hundreds of
Young people are being stabbed almost every day in London.

I voted for Sadiq Khan because I didn't want Zack Goldsmith to take the helm because he is an environmental politician and doesn't want Heathrow Airport to be expanded. Environmental politicians make it harder to be a motorist so I won't vote for that.
