Eastenders has a bit of a Mayor
Apparently, poor Ken was not allowed to have his turn when he was Mayor, even though he pleaded with them not once but twice. Ken Livingstone? Cynical self-publicist? Who'd have thought?
So that's not very 'fair', is it? Boris is asked to appear, whereas Ken was rejected. Ken's not happy:
""There has obviously been a Damascene conversion here ... There is no reason why the BBC should not give the mayor a cameo appearance; I just wish they would do it for everybody, not just their chosen favourites."
Their chosen favourites? What the fuck? Bitter much, you newt-fancying arse?
Little Kenny's also been blubbing to the Guardian, who would usually agree that Blue Boris should have been denied the oxygen of publicity. In a piece hilariously sub-headlined "They never let me be on it, says Ken Livingston", his moans are reproduced.
Ken's first bid for soap opera stardom was when he was leader of the Greater London council and
"wanted to plug his campaign against Tory plans to scrap the London-wide body"
Ah. So you wanted to go onto a soap opera to publicise an anti-Tory political campaign then? And they didn't let you. Not exactly a huge surprise, is it?
So did you learn your lesson, and tone things down for your second attempt for tea-time fame? This time, as mayor:
"he asked highlight a recycling campaign but was turned down, he said, on the grounds that it was "too political"."
So no. No you didn't.
Can you spot the difference, Ken? Boris is a clever sod, who has perfected his affable, bumbling fool schtick, and become quite the media personality. No wonder they wanted him.
Whereas you, Ken, are a tedious, moaning git with an irritiating nasal voice, who just wanted to 'go on the telly' to push your nasty leftie agenda.
No wonder they didn't want you.
