Statue of criminal to be erected in London

A statue of famed criminal Ronald Reagan is to go up in London soon. The statue will cost £50,000 for Westminster to maintain and will be 10 feet high and bronze.

Reagan’s crimes include:

Perpetuating the Iran-Iraq war while selling weapons to both sides (about a million dead as a result);
secretly selling biological and chemical materials (for weapons) to Iraq;
laying the groundwork for the modern era in Afghanistan by funding extremists to subvert the Soviets;
US involvement in Nicaragua, claiming tens of thousands of lives; and
support for murderers in Guatemala, Honduras and El-Salvador.

I don’t want to see him honoured in our great city.

Ken Livingstone on BBC’s HARDtalk

Oh God, I'm HARDtalking!

If you’re outside the United Kingdom, you may not be able to watch the video in this link, and if you are in the UK I’m not sure how long the link will remain active on BBC iPlayer, so get it while you still can! Livingstone is being interviewed by Stephen Shakur. It’s well-worth watching; Ken defends his tenure as Mayor and current & former stances on the labour party with his usual wry wit. Shakur is unable to crack him, even on the Chavez issue.

Looks like Ken’ll be running in 2012 then!
