Tonight we encountered the Ken supporters for the first time. We had arrived at 6pm to hand out leaflets outside the Time Out mayoral hustings. Boris has turned up to a number of hustings across London over the last 3 months, and the date of this husting was changed to an evening when Boris already had appointments. It was a really good turn out and a lot of new faces have been recruited, right across the spectrum and from all background.
About half an hour in the first Ken supporter arrived and about 45 minutes a few more Ken supporters arrived to hand out leaflets. We sparred a few times, but then neither group was there to have the debate, we were both handing out flyers to the husting guests. Poor things between the 10 or so Boris supporters and the 3 Ken supporters they did have to endure a bit of barrage of paper to get through the doors.
I'm glad to have finally come face to face with some Ken supporters. I like a fair fight and it did seem at one point as if Ken was going to go without even a whimper.
Ken himself turned up and we thrust our leaflets in his face, he's stolen Boris's policies, so why not go the whole hog and vote for him as well.
It was good to debate policy on the street like this, it makes you think pretty quickly. There are a number of points that I'm going to prepare answers for. Next time we'll all be better prepared.
Let the battle commence!
