so he can get to know London better

Rory Stewart wants to get to know Londoners better – by sleeping on their sofas. The independent Mayor of London candidate has launched an online campaign called ‘Come Kip With Me’ in which he asks those in the capital to let him stay the night. In a video accompanying the initiative, he admitted it was a ‘weird request’ but said it would be the best way for him to get to know everywhere in the city. Stewart stated that he had already stayed with a woman named Lorraine in Newham and a ‘young man’ in Streatham


Hopefully he will spend a night on the streets, if he wants the full experience?

What a weird bloke he is.

[Kizzy]

I was going to say is it so hard for someone to imagine how tough it is living in poverty... but judging by the other thread it can be :/

Didn't IDS do this? It really worked with him didn't it? A few faux tears and it was full on austerity again.

what a completely stupid idea

I get the idea, but isn’t he leaving himself open to either being hurt or some one making a false allegation against him

Exactly , pretty stupid of you ask me .

[Jigs]

Isn't there more productive things he could be doing than kipping on couches?

[Alf]

He just wants to save on his own gas and electric, the tight git.

Funny him wanting to stay in other people's spare rooms, when he voted six times for the bedroom tax to be introduced.

[Oliver_W]

Pfft. He doesn't need to do all that crap, just focus on policy and personality.

One night is not enough to gauge how people have to live , he needs to at least pack a case and be there at least a month,

Imagine having to make small talk with him, and trying to eat your dinner and watch Emmerdale

If he buys the beers and a take-away, then he can kip at mine for a night, if he wants.

He is clearly irony impaired.

[bitontheslide]

it's a publicity stunt, he obviously doesn't have much of a chance of becoming mayor

[parmnion]

Creeping aboot like wee Willie winkie..dodgy creep.

Rod would be welcome at mine, he'd have to sing for his supper though.

[Kizzy]

Out of all the candidates he did seem the most human... I still don't understand why he has to spend an evening with people, I hope it's not just for an interesting after dinner monologue and it will actually do some good.

He looks like an alien that's melted..

The kids would have to hide him like ET.
