As I walked into HOP station this morning, I was handed a leaflet. It was trying to persuade me to vote for Ken, not Boris. The reason? Becasue Ken is peace loving and Boris isn't, and given that the majority of Londoners are peace loving, we really only have one option (to vote for Ken), cause Paddick won't win.

What evidence is given that Ken is peace loving and Boris isn't? Oh, that's easy - Ken voted against Iraq and the development of nuclear weapons, whilst Boris voted in favour of these things.

So is it wrong for a country to defend itself? Ok, you might not agree that nuclear is the way to go, but then why not say that?

Was it wrong to go to war in Iraq? We could have the debate, but you are allowed to be 'peace loving' and still think war is necessary in some circumstances.
