Funding and Resources for London Groups
Question No: 2651 / 2008
Richard Barnbrook
In the November MQT you stated that you would give the same help and assistance to all Londoners regardless of ethnic background. In light of this and considering the amount of resources committed towards BME groups, can you identify any white British ethnic groups that you have directed funding or resources towards since you were elected as Mayor.

Members’ Pay
Question No: 2652 / 2008
Richard Barnbrook
In the October Mayor’s Question Time I raised the point that I believed Members should have a freeze on pay rises and that the money should be donated to a charity for the elderly. I advised you I would be donating a day’s wages and any pay increases to Help the Aged, you said “I’m sure that will be more than matched by everyone in this room.” I have since donated a day’s wage and have just donated the full backdated amount I received in my November pay packet. As a person that was in the room can you confirm that you will be more than matching this? And what action will you take to encourage the other Members to do the same?

Proposals for an Airport in the Thames Estuary

Richard Barnbrook
Considering your plans for the sighting of another airport in the Thames Estuary, are you aware of the potentially disastrous tidal consequences of such a project if it is not designed and engineered accordingly and have you researched this properly?

Proposed ‘Floating Airport’
Question No: 2654 / 2008
Richard Barnbrook
Bearing in mind the Mayor’s unfortunate track record filling major public appointments, how does he justify recruiting Mr Doug Oakervee to oversee the first feasibility study into the proposed ‘Floating Airport’?
The Mayor is on record as saying he wants this airport modeled on the Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok airport, the opening of which involved Mr Oakervee’s project team.
The Hong Kong Legislative Council’s Inquiry strongly criticised Mr Oakervee’s numerous failings on the project.

If we didn't have an open door policy we wouldn't need more Airports, nor would there be a requiremnt for the congestion charge, land fill problems and we would more easily be able to fulfill our carbon reduction requirements. I thought Boris was supposed to be highly educated.
Sounds like the policy is pack em in to the rafters then tax em to death at every opportunity.
that's going to be your contribution to Great Britain is it Boris, look around you and ask yourself are you proud of what you are doing to this once Great land and people.
Dosn't Boris also want to give sanctuary to 500,000 ethnics?
Thank God we have Richard on the assembly, Keep up the good work mate!
Vote B.N.P. You know it makes sense.
