Ken is a good presenter and I have quite a few Conservative friends who enjoy listening, even if they don't always agree.<BR/><BR/>As to fairness, well that's life. Boris got plenty of fame from HIGNFY and nobody ever complained. I guess Ken will have to go on holiday some time so LBC will need someone to fill in, and it would be nice if it was a Conservative.<BR/><BR/>I would be happy to do it, but I guess my high profile colleagues, James Cleverly and Brian Coleman, would be in with a shout...Roger Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839182217428381247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-49079235835500923762009-02-15T12:03:00.000+00:002009-02-15T12:03:00.000+00:00Roger,A question - When Ken took on the LBC show m...Roger,<BR/><BR/>A question - When Ken took on the LBC show my two thoughts were <BR/><BR/>a) Will he be any good because he's not a broadcaster<BR/><BR/>b) Is it fair that someone who has ambitions to run again as mayor has such a platform<BR/><BR/>Listening to yesterdays show, I thought that it passd the first test because it was interesting and informative - for instance pensioners were not aware of the changes to the freedom pass. Ken and yourself were also able to discuss GLA matters at a level beyond the usual level. Ken has an unusual style of presenting and he doesn't read endorsments very well, but it was quite compulsive listening.<BR/><BR/>As to the second part, being a Livingstone supporter, I think it's good for Ken. Is it fair to the Tories?<BR/><BR/>Any comments?Rog Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-45101852460264913992009-02-14T18:50:00.000+00:002009-02-14T18:50:00.000+00:00RogerOnly just caught up with the broadcast, thoug...Roger<BR/><BR/>Only just caught up with the broadcast, thought there was some good discussion between you and Ken on the budget - good to see (hear) the process getting a public airing.<BR/><BR/>Also great to hear so many supportive comments about the Freedom Pass (leaving aside the reserve powers issue) - the extent of the scheme is one of the things London Govt can be proudest of and it's a shame the national scheme is far less generous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-80468445533659817592009-02-14T17:48:00.000+00:002009-02-14T17:48:00.000+00:00Well spotted, Morris - they are Media Tarts!Well spotted, Morris - they are Media Tarts!Roger Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839182217428381247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-77220262903796250412009-02-14T15:17:00.000+00:002009-02-14T15:17:00.000+00:00Roger - the Barkingside 21 site is displaying doug...Roger - the Barkingside 21 site is displaying doughnuts this week.
