Drama at the London Assembly as Conservative members storm out in protest
Comments
That was brilliant viewing. The chairwoman was massively rude and I'm not surprised they stormed out in protest. The woman next to her got so defensive because she was in the wrong too in siding with the chairwoman. Wish the House Of Commons was more like this!

Do you STILL think elected Police Commissioners are a GOOD idea? I don't! Keep Politicans out of the Police and the Police out of Politics.

The Chairman was totally out of her depth.
Why didn't all the Tory members walk out?

From the Daily Mail:
One of Boris Johnson’s closest political aides was tonight facing calls to resign after he was accused of making a racist joke about the London riots.
Tory Richard Barnes, who is Johnson’s deputy mayor, was apparently overheard making the offensive comments by colleagues.
Barnes, who is openly gay, is reported to have said: ‘Why did police put Persil in the water cannons? To stop the colours running?’
