Boris, Bromley and facebook

After commenting on Livingstone's congestion charge plans for Bromley in the Times I set up a facebook group to oppose it. Less than a week after creating it, the group has over 1,000 members.

I emailed Boris about the group and he sent this message in reply.

"If Mayor Livingstone had his way there would be congestion charging in each of the 32 London Boroughs including Bromley. Only local people should decide on matters such as this and I think by the sheer volume of members, this facebook group shows the strength of feeling on this issue.

"Clearly the Mayor is out of touch with greater Londoners. He has grown arrogant and out of touch. When I am Mayor, I will work with the London Boroughs rather than against them".
