About Me
- Roger Evans
- I am the Conservative member of the London Assembly elected for the Essex/East London seat of Havering & Redbridge, and former Leader of the Conservative group at City Hall. I speak regularly to local organisations about London government and my experience as a councillor. I also offer coaching and advice to prospective candidates. In October 2007 I published my novel, Gremal Quest - a treasure hunt around - and beneath - the streets of London.

St George's day is on the 23rd, Mr Evans, also the anniversary of the birth and death of Shakespeare. I think you mean Boris was in Romford to try to persuade people to vote for him. Frankly, I think you were a little overdressed, although a tricorn hat does suit you.
I think it is unfair to relegate the Greens & UKIP to the same category as the BNP, who, as I am sure we both agree will be ignored by anyone with any intelligence or decency.
Fabulous pictures Roger!! Keep up the great work!!
Mrs Angry, I have to say most of the time I find your comments excellent. However, with all due respect they are now starting to sound boring and negative. Off course, its good to have political banter and a diverse range of political opinions - however, I really do wish you would be a lot more positive. Yes ok, its St George's Day on Monday and yes we are aware the election is creeping up on us very quickly but whether it is the jewish passover or St George's Day or anything else Boris and Roger are always there greeting members of the public - yes its a vote winner but its what people want to see. How else would you do it Mrs Angry??
Also, you seem a little obsessed about Roger and his clothing....first his brown shoes now you are comparing him with the town cryer....are we a little bit smitten with Mr Evans???
Are you Mrs Jolly Roger by any chance?
"Stand by your man ...."
Whether I am Mrs Jolly Roger or not it's irrelevant......
Is there a Mrs Jolly Roger? It's hardly irrelevant as Mrs Jolly Roger is unlikely to be impartial. (If Mrs JR is impartial then Mr JR is in trouble.) I think we should be told!
.. but you do sound like an over- protective Mum worried about the female attention your boy is attracting!
ooh, I've been away too long ... look, a whole bevy of Mrs Angry wannabees have emerged. Now then: Mrs Jolly - or is it Sonia? You Tory matrons do take life so seriously ... do you understand the concept of erm teasing? I suspect not. Poor Mr Jolly.
Yes, you have guessed my little secret. I am secretly pining for Mr Evans, and am only hoping he will lose his place on the GLA so that we can walk away into the sunset together, somewhere beyond Romford, hand in hand. Think how much we have in common: it is a match made in heaven. Alright, Essex. True, I am a swivel eyed Trot, and his views are somewhere to the right of Ghengis Khan. But that is no bar to true love.
Are you just a teensy weensy bit jealous?
Mrs Essex: are you related to David?
Mrs Essex, I must agree. First SJM and now Mrs Jolly. Before too long it will be handbags at dawn on Mr Evans' comments section and his head will explode with all this attention from the lovely ladies. I do hope that Mrs Angry is not deterred by these fiercesome dragons, as her gentle teasing is one of the highlights of this blog.
Oh dear, Mrs A, your paranoia is showing! Mrs Jolly is not me, nor am I her.
And you are slipping into cliche, I fear - 'Tory matrons' no less. May we assume that you wear a flat cap and own a couple of whippets?
Good luck, Roger!
Aha, yes, Sonia, I do indeed, and I am afraid I still keep coal in the bath: old ways die hard. But look: I see you have a bit of a thing going on for Mr Evans, and I don't won't to stand in the way of true love. You can have him, but please try to do something about his shoes.
Miss Emma, I think you are right, he must be revelling in all this attention, which might be some consolation next week when - no, heaven forfend. In fact, I imagine he will return in glory to another cushy four years at the Assembly, whereas, thank goodness, here in Broken Barnet, it looks as if the Tory member will get his bootylicious behind kicked from here to nowhere. At least that is what the majority of Tory supporters in London are hoping ...
No, Mrs Angry, there are no Davids in the Essex family. The one you are probably thinking about was a Cook.
We do have a Roy Don, a Ray Leigh, a Ben Fleet, a Bill Ericay and for the girls a Saffron Walden.
Now where are my white slingbacks, I must take the whippets for a walk.
Hmm, Mrs Essex, in fact I have claims to being an Essex girl by descent, if that counts: great grandmother from Ben Fleet, & a great grandfather from the delightfully named Mucking. I also have a pair of white slingbacks, LK Bennett sale, bargain. I have never worn them,in fact, but Mr Evans has invited me over for a guided tour of shoe shops in Romford (don't tell Sonia) so I might dig them out for that ...
Ooooo, shoe shopping, my favourite pass time.
Perhaps, Mrs Angry, you could coax him into a nice pair of cuban heels and teach him the Paso Doble? It would improve both his stature and posture.
Could it be you have identified a new role for him after next Thursday if Andrew Gilligan is correct?
