More reaction to the UK local government elections:
UPDATE: It's 7.30pm. Still no result, but a strong presumption that Boris will triumph. Since it's on my doorstep, I nipped down to poke around. I just took this shot of a tiny Anarchist demo in front of City Hall. I chatted with a grungy anarchist from Sweden, but his thinking conformed to liberal/socialist/anarcho sterotype: little verbal tricks trotted out instead of thought. Honestly, there should be no representation without taxation and no right to vote for childless under 25's either (military excepted).

Thanks, Anne. I'm glad anyone's interested over there. Boris now has great democratic legitimacy for four years and a profile as high as Gordon Brown, who has not been elected Prime Minister and has reneged on a critical manifesto commitment to hold a referendum on the EU Constitution (v2.0) - ie Brown has negative democratic legitimacy and is now a dead politician walking.
If Boris lives up to my hopes, he will have an impact in shaking both the UK and the USA out of their politically correct, facile, inauthentic political cultures.
