El Presidente is too busy to meet Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone's latest hare-brained scheme has ended in spectacular failure, and it serves him right. Ken Livingstone is a fool who thinks his enemy's enemy are his friends. Hugo Chavez is an opportunist whose has been using cheap oil to buy friends. But El Presidente clearly has better things to do than to spend time with Ken.

The whole sorry episode reveals what a hyprocrite our Mayor is. Here is somebody who sees himself as a champion of the poor and dispossessed, yet he's trying to buy oil from a third world banana republic in order to subsidise the transport of one of the world's wealthiest cities.

How embarrassing for Londoners, this is the clown who represents our city around the world!
