West End Extra - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 9 May 2008

There is life left after mayor Boris

• IT isn’t just Ken Livingstone, every Londoner is going to pay a price after the May 1 elections.
New Labour betraying its roots has a lot to answer for.
People’s disillusionment helped lead to the election of Boris Johnson as Mayor and a BNP member to the London Assembly.
We are all going to suffer.
Our election campaign told a different story. People fighting back in the tenants’ movement, in the trade unions and in the community are not looking for scapegoats.
They are looking for someone to put forward the politics of hope which none of the mainstream parties are doing. People were enthusiastic about the Left List campaign because they want policies that say society can be different, and strategies that argue that ordinary people can stand together and fight for change.
We are proud to have stood together, because we believe our different communities have to fight for a future for all.
There is life after Boris and we won’t stop fighting.
That means continuing the campaigns to defend our services and taking on whatever Boris may throw at us, as well as making sure the BNP are not allowed to promote their fascist views.
Dave Hoefling & Mukul Hira
Left List candidates for London Assembly
