Ken Livingstone is the current Mayor of London
bit bout him
The Mayor of London is an elected politician in London, United Kingdom. The role, created in 2000, was the first directly-elected mayor in the United Kingdom. The Mayor of London is also referred to as the London Mayor, a form which helps to avoid confusion with the Lord Mayor of London, the ancient and now mainly ceremonial role in the City of London. The first elected Mayor of London is Ken Livingstone, who was re-elected in 2004.
his role of the mayer
The Mayor is responsible for budgeting and strategic planning of some governmental functions across the whole of the London region. The plans of the mayor are scrutinised by the London Assembly and actioned by the Greater London Authority. Responsibilities include transport, the police, fire and emergency services, cultural strategy and economic development.
powers
The Department for Communities and Local Government announced its final proposals for new powers for the Mayor on Thursday 13th July 2006.[1] These provide for a strengthened role over planning in the capital; and additional strategic powers in a wide range of policy areas including waste, culture and sport, health, climate change and appointments to the boards of the functional bodies.

London doesn't have a mayer, it has a mayor.
The mayor aren't
the mayor *IS* Ken Livingston.
many years ago in his political career he was known in the press as "Red Ken" (Red = colour of Russian flag = communist)
The cold war ended when Ken was elected, 'cos we used to have a lot of nuclear warheads pointed torwards Russia and then we got ken and said to each other "quick - point 'em all at Ken until a very small child pointed out that we were pointing our own weapons at our capital city) - get the point? the child did before the politicians.

Ken Livingstone. Once he said that (former Israeli Prime Minister) Sharon should face "trial" like Milosevic (may god avenge his death! But it was still when the latter was alive). Oh God! When will Prince William or Prince Harry become king of Brittain and end Britain's participation in injustice???
