Boris Johnson/Ken Livingstone/ Lib Dem bloke/London mayor elections

Did anyone here see Newsnight interview last night with the three London mayor candidates. Very revealing I thought. Boris did very badly, he didn't have a grip on any figures and just seemed to be making up policies live in the Newsnight studio. Paxman murdered him, at one point advancing across the studio floor jabbing his finger at him. Later Paxo said 'it's no good asking you, you don't know anything' or something like that. The Lib Dem Paddock bloke seemed a bit stiff to me. Livingstone is a slippery customer but seemed to have a better grasp on the true facts regarding policing and bendy buses, or rather he knew what he wanted to say. Couldn't believe Johnson... he just hasn't taken this seriously. A total liability.
