	Socialism Today - Did Ken deliver
		LIVINGSTONE’S COMPLIANCE with the basic tenets of Blairism — privatisation and the placing of profits before the pay and conditions of public sector workers — means, in spite of his stated intentions, his policies will perpetuate the obscene gap between rich and poor and the social deprivation that blights the capital city.
		Livingstone had been committed to a "unified underground system in the public sector", but instead accepted a unified management overseeing £1 billion of investment contracts in the Tube every year, with what is a risk-free venture for the private consortia whose long-term profits are guaranteed by the tax payer.
		Livingstone’s victory in 2000 represented more than a referendum vote on who should own London Underground; it signalled a rejection of all the hated Thatcherite policies of New Labour and revealed the potential for a mass left alternative, the opportunity for which Livingstone, pursuing a New Labour agenda, refused to grasp.

	Iain Dale's Diary: Ken Livingstone Should Resign
		What Ken Livingstone did, when he clearly already knew that the journalist in question was Jewish, raises many serious questions when taken in conjunction with previous statements he has made with regard to the Middle Eastern conflict, Jews, suicide bombers etc. etc.
		Ken is immediately disrespectful - I would not have an issue with what Livingstone had said had the party been private - but it wasn't.
		Ken didn't though - he should have realized that at a publically funded event his duty if asked was to provide a comment so that we can pretend that the party had some use to the taxpayer.

	Socialism Today - Ken Livingstone and a new workers' party
		Ken Livingstone's refusal to draw all the necessary political conclusions from his break with Tony Blair's New Labour Party does not alter the fact that his decision has placed firmly on the agenda the need for the British working class to create a new mass workers' party.
		Such is the scale of support for Livingstone that he was decisively ahead of his rivals amongst all groups in society: men and women, young and old, middle-class and working-class voters.
		LIVINGSTONE HAS, IT is true, spoken 'as a socialist' but usually sotto voce, a whispered aside to his main theme.

		Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, rarely misses an opportunity to offend the sensibilities of decent people.
		Livingstone also portrayed young British Jews as potential soldiers in the Israeli army, thus raising again - at a time when anti-Semitism in the UK is growing - the accusation of "dual loyalty" (it is well-known that only Israeli citizens can serve in their country's army).
		While Livingstone implies that claims of growing anti-Semitism are an Israeli plot, anti-Semitic incidents in Britain in 2004 rose by 42 percent on the previous year.

		Ken Livingstone's past utterances on "Troops out" of Northern Ireland, for example, have been widely understood as support for terrorists, as has his support of extremist Islamic preachers.
		Livingstone addressed Boyd in those terms because Boyd was attempting to endear himself to the London Assembly by passing himself off as a victimised democrat.
		Ken Livingstone wittered on about extending the term of the Mayor Of London, presumably on the assumption that he would be still in office in 2011, and might then be asked some awkward questions about the cost overruns and delays to the 2012 Olympic Games during the election campaign.

	Oliver Kamm: Livingstone and Labour
		The day after Ken Livingstone was elected Mayor of London in 2000 I was accosted by a BBC television interviewer while strolling through Broadgate at lunchtime.
		Livingstone is a famously inept politician who was a profligate and incompetent leader of the Greater London Council in the 1980s.
		It even got through to Livingstone that the price mechanism works better than subsidy, and a tax on road use is exactly the type of policy that a directly-elected Mayor can undertake when central government is too timid to adopt it.

		Ken Livingstone was today suspended from office for four weeks by a disciplinary tribunal for likening a Jewish newspaper reporter to a Nazi concentration camp guard.
		Mr Livingstone had asked the reporter if he was a German war criminal and then, after learning that he was Jewish and had been offended by the question, compared him to a concentration camp guard.
		The panel rejected Mr Livingstone's argument that there was a difference between the damage he might have caused to his own reputation and the effect of his actions on his office.

		I went to hear Livingstone speak at a meeting organised in the GLA buildings, by fl think-tank The 1990 Trust and Jewish equality group Jcore.
		However rare and appealing it is to hear a politician admit that immigration might be a good thing, Livingstone's arguments are based on implicit racist assumptions.

	normblog: The heart of Ken Livingstone
		First, whether the words Livingstone said to the reporter are to be construed as anti-Semitic or not isn't a question of what was in the Mayor's mind when he said them.
		(a) Livingstone has form on being intemperate and in-your-face, and although this is not in itself to be admired, it is possible that his head wasn't governing his tongue on the evening of the encounter with Oliver Finegold.
		(Livingstone now speaks of 'the racism they have perpetuated and the bigotry they have encouraged for over 100 years', but his own employment by them was, I take it, some time during those 100 years.) Compromised or not, the hostility is there and it is possible that that is what got the better of him.

	City Mayors: Ken Livingstone - Mayor of London
		It is sometimes remarked that the legacy of Ken Livingstone’s first term as Mayor was the proliferation of ‘bendy-buses’ (to replace the ageing fleet of old-style tourist icon Routemasters) and bus priority lanes on the capital’s streets.
		Livingstone actually adopted the idea from the business community in the capital, who had unsuccessfully lobbied for 20 years for a scheme to reduce traffic congestion in central London.

		Mr Livingstone was born in Streatham, south London, on 17 June 1945.
		But after the Conservatives axed the council in 1986 and he crossed the Thames from County Hall to the House of Commons as MP for Brent East in 1987, he faced the relative powerlessness of the backbenches.
