Livingstone says Bush is 'greatest threat to life on planet'
Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, launched a stinging attack on President George Bush last night, denouncing him as the "greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen".
| "He's worse'n a comet headed straight for the earth! He's worse'n nuclear war! He's uglier'n a bagfulla wart hogs! He has skidmarks in his underwear, jam between his toes! Drool!" |
His provocatively timed comments, on the eve of Mr Bush's arrival in London tonight, threaten to create severe embarrassment for the Prime Minister.
| Livingstone himself appears to be incapable of embarrassment... |
They also come with talks under way on whether to re-admit Mr Livingstone to the Labour Party before his five-year exile ends.
| Hell, yeah! They need more people like him! Put him in charge of the Home Office... |
Although he made his many differences with the Government on a range of issues clear, he reserved his strongest comments for the American President in an interview with The Ecologist magazine.

Mr Livingstone recalled a visit at Easter to California, where he was denounced for an attack he had made on what he called "the most corrupt and racist American administration in over 80 years". He said: "Some US journalist came up to me and said: 'How can you say this about President Bush?' Well, I think what I said then was quite mild. I actually think that Bush is the greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen. The policies he is initiating will doom us to extinction."
| Cheeze. There's no pleasing some people... |
