0:00.0 | So our current and soon to be ex-mayor announced today job cuts and a slash of his climate budget in half |
0:14.6 | because of his continued fiscal irresponsibility. Now, this would normally be a surprise, |
0:21.6 | but why should we be surprised |
0:23.6 | that a career politician who's never run a business |
0:27.6 | in his life could actually be fiscally responsible with the city? |
0:32.6 | And now, over the next two years, |
0:34.6 | the Greater London Authority is expected to lose 493 million pounds due to his leadership. |

1:35.5 | and where i come from you either balance your budget or you get eliminated that's how it works |
1:41.2 | but in his world if you don, they just tax the citizens. |
1:45.5 | Or he goes and complains to the national government |
1:48.5 | and asks for billions and billions of pounds |
1:50.8 | to bail out the city because he knows they will. |
1:53.3 | So he never intends to run this fiscally responsible. |
