He got of lightly and it's not an offence to be rude to someone! All in the interests of free speech!

Ken was accosted by a reporter and told the man he was like a concentration camp guard. To which the reporter took offence. Ken said he intended to offend him. The reporter was Jewish.
There was a lot of hoo-ha and Ken was told to apologise, which he refused to do. So he was suspended but this morning he was cleared because it isn't against the law to be rude to someone.
And if you don't care, why do you read the question? Silly boy.

What would of happened if he insulted a Muslim, We would of had the effigy burnings and riots on our street.
Still he will most probably rot in hell one day. Being mayor went to his head and thick skin.

Good for him! He was hounded by that journalist when he was off duty. No one should be expected to do their job when they're not on the clock, and I imagine many would be a lot ruder than he was! Let him get back to improving London.

I read that this hack had been pestering him and his family for weeks. Sometimes, people just snap. But later he should have apologised.

The slime ball has got away with it again, time he was out of office. He's dictatorial and needs to be removed.
