Guardian, January 3 2008http://commentisfree.guardian...upporting_ken_livingstone_as.html

Since June 2000, Ken Livingstone has been an outstanding mayor of London. He has stood out in support of a multicultural society and has supported the Muslim communities of the city against racism and Islamophobia as well as all other minorities against all types of prejudice.
His stands and policies have constantly championed justice in the Middle East and around the world, freedom for the Palestinians and withdrawal of occupying troops from Iraq; a rare trait of modern-day public figures.
He has enhanced London's standing in the world and helped improve the lives of all of the city's communities.
For those and many more traits continuously and consistently demonstrated by the Ken Livingstone, we the undersigned believe that it is in the best interest of the Muslim communities of London, and indeed all Londoners, to back Mr Livingstone in this year's mayoral elections.
We pledge to continue our support for the mayor on all levels possible in order to secure his staying in office for a third term.

Red Ken is a cold and calculating demagogue no different from what we have witnessed thousands of times before. Playing off populace emotions and prejudices by pointing the finger at Jews...we know the drill.
