In the days that follow look at our airports, look at our sea ports and look at our railway stations and, even after your cowardly attack, you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners and to fulfil their dreams and achieve their potential.
They choose to come to London, as so many have come before because they come to be free, they come to live the life they choose, they come to be able to be themselves. They flee you because you tell them how they should live. They don't want that and nothing you do, however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our city where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another. Whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail.

Can't imagine Dobbo making that speech, can you? And even on a day like today he manages to distance himself from the Government's immigration and asylum policy and give the big up to multiculturalism. The man's a genius.

Who's Dobbo, Jo?
Ah. Dobbo is Frank Dobson -- who was the 'official' (Blairite) Labour candidate for Mayor in a party ballot that was widely perceived as rigged... Dobbo won, so Ken left Labour and stood as an independent. See this story from the BBC...
