Is Richard Littlejohn really saying that it's ok for someone to blow up democratically elected people with letter bombs if you don't like what they are doing? When he says that he wouldn't lose much sleep about seeing "those wicked dupes, like Red Ken ... on the end of a bombing", is he inciting others to violence rather than encouraging them to take out their annoyance at the ballot box by voting for someone else?

You may not agree with everything Ken Livingstone does as Mayor of London - there's lots I would change if I could, including his mania for the polluting Thames Gateway motorway bridge - but his aim to improve transport in the capital for the vast majority of people, who don't drive their cars, is obviously a benefit for everyone.

Littlejohn is losing touch with reality if he thinks that most Londoners dislike the congestion charge. Most people are benefiting from being forced out of the car and onto forms of transport part paid for by the proceeds of the charge. Reducing cars means that the streets are safer, the air is cleaner, and there's less rumbling traffic noise. Let's remember that he speaks for a minority audience, not for 50 million.
