But you only don't like Boris Johnson because he's not as anti-motorist as Livingstone was. Why don't you admit that instead of desperately looking for other excuses to attack him all the time? You know perfectly well that Boris isn't racist. Not that it's any surprise to hear you allege that he is; "He's racist" is what the rabid, extremist left are often heard to say about those who they wish to denounce for whatever reason. There is invariably little or no truth in such allegations, but the rabid lefties don't care, knowing that mud sticks, and that false allegations of racism do lasting damage to the accused even after they are found to be without substance.

It's just one more way in which Spindrift and his ilk like to draw up and execute nasty, spiteful, cowardly little plans of attack against those who dare to even think about trying to get in the way of their absurd, unworkable, despicable campaign against motorists. In fact, it's a *war* against motorists, because wars have thousands upon thousands of innocent, civilian casualties, and Spindrift and Chapman's murderous campaign against motorists (which involves advocating anti-motorist measures which they *know* to be killing all road users at a rate of more than *three a day*, *and rising*) is as good an example of that as you will find.

Spindrift is dreadful. DREADFUL.
