"It is not within my competence to stop the biggest downfall of snow we have had over the skies of this city for 20 years."

Go Boris!

I'd like to see what came before that bobbins as he looked like he was pretty fed up, I'd say that actually makes Boris look pretty bad but without knowing what happened before it doesn't really make sense.

"The committee asked Mr Johnson what action he had taken before he was made aware of transport problems on 1 February.

The mayor replied: "I observed that it had started to snow." "

Labour tosspots putting the questions as usual.

A cull is needed. Really, really needed.

I'm a big fan of Boris because he's got a different style. Whether he's better in the long term remains to be seen.

To be fair...I couldn't even care if he ended up being worse.....at least he's a breath of fresh air!

Why have we set up a committee to look into what happened. It snowed, end of, we get this once every few years. We don't need to set up hugely expensive committee to look at this stuff, its a total waste of money.

I agree, lets set up a committee to enquire about why they set up a committee.

They should review what happened and see what lessons could be learnt for next time, like was gritting a waste of time / money if it's going to be that bad. But that should be done by whoever is responsible operationally not these fkwits as that just looked like a meeting for the sake of it.

We don't need blame we need to learn from what we did wrong.

Especially when the Pie and Piston is in a position to discuss these issues for free...

How much better and quicker would that be?

Would be interesting when the committee report is read out and the answer is "kick her back doors in"

Boris is a genius. Did you see that channel 4 programme trying to get dirt on him earlier this week, is was laughably lame.

"Boris once met up with a property developer who once lent him an office shocker."

"Boris once changed his mind about something."

It was pathetic.

I caught that last night, for about 15 minutes. Couldn't watch any more.

It reminded me of that loony film "The Obama Deception"......not very objective!

They set up a committee to justify their non-jobs as MPs and so they could be in Westminster earning shed loads of expenses on the tax-payer mad

Precisely, if Boris had spent the first part of his term purchasing snow plows and more gritters then they'd have complained he was wasting tax-payers money because we hardly ever get that much snow.

Well, c'mon, be fair - if Red Ken had still been mayor, the buses would naturally have just levitated over what little snow had actually been allowed to fall and hadn't been prevented from settling by his awesome administration.

Red Ken forever! rolleyes
