Can you provide evidence of this, please? I have looked but can find no reference to confirm or deny your claim.

I've seen Ken on the tube more than once with no press in sight.

That's sure to stop them doing whatever it is they're doing that you don't like

I saw a flying saucer land on the Houses of Parliament today.

Oh, sorry. I though this was the place where we are meant to just make up ridiculous things without any proof

If you know that anyone, royal or not, is doing something wrong, why not do something about it instead of just moaning? Oh no, then they'd find out where you live because at the moment you don't vote so "they" have no idea that you exist

Which members of the royal family have had illegal incestuous relationships? And why hasn't Rupert Murdoch found out out about it?

As long as you know it's illegal to not register to vote,and, perhaps more importantly, messes up your credit rating!!

Your own hand doesn't count as incest, Willan. Even if you put lipstick on it and draw on eyes and make it wear a little paper crown...

I did read that when Ken was elected Mayor one of the first things he did was to cancel the contract and budget for chauffeurs and limos for his staff and to issue yearly travel cards for public transport instead. I actually find it hard to believe that Ken is driven around in a gas guzzling limo, the press would have picked up on it and I can't find any stories about it. I don't think its true, I think he takes the bus and tube.

Thanks

I suspect that Sam was simply indulging in his usual hyperbole. As they say - a lie is halfway round the world before the truth gets its boots on.

Very odd for a non-driver - still, I'm sure you know best.

So he can't win then? How would you prefer he travel - by teleport? It's possible he has security but I don't see why. If he does, no doubt it's on the advice of the police and not something he has any choice about (just as Northern Ireland ministers keep their security long after they leave office).
