TOUT London Poll of Week

Readers' poll

After Metronet's collapse, is it time for tube lines to go back into public ownership?
A) Yes
B) No
C) Give them to Boris

i guess the one to vote for is obvious this week - C

(Metronet i believe being responsible for the tube infrastructure?)

A large part of it yes. Ken hated them.

Definitely not C. I remember the story of Just William and the clock.

The thought of that overblown schoolboy in charge of a grown-up train-set - well, it's just not going to happen, fortunately, but he really hasn't the attention span to cope with things like maintenance contracts, to put it mildly.

How much chance has this DJ bloke, Ferrari, got if he stands?

Surely no matter how much people hate Ken, the Londoner's would never vote in the blonde buffoon?

Well, there'll be more than three, since there are bound to be other independent and minor party candidates. But Boris won't make it. Tonight's misadventure (http://tinyurl.com/2ktvpr) suggests the knives are out for him within the Tory Party already, so he might not even be selected in the first place, and if he is, he's not going to gain much on the second preferences, I suspect: assuming he makes it to second place.

Nick Ferrari is a talk radio host on GLR (talk radio in the UK isn't like talk radio in America!)

It's going to be Boris though, and he's going to win.
