The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has been blamed by a cross-party committee of MPs for a "lack of leadership" during February's snow chaos in the capital.
The disruption to London transport was "unsatisfactory" and better planning is needed in future, a report has found.

Is Boris up to the job of being Mayor to our Capital City?

Londoners, have you noticed any improvement after Red Ken's tyranny?

As a Londoner, I was disappointed by the chaotic nature of the transport system during the bad snow, but I don't think it really mattered who the mayor was, the emergency system should have been in place regardless. The mayor should merely have been the 'face' of such a system.

As for Boris being up to the job, I was initially concerned that we'd elected a bumbling buffoon, but in reality he's no better or worse than Red Ken. I have to be honest and state that I believe the London Mayor should have more power to re-vitalise this city.

I'm a Tube Train Drver, and I got in to work, only to find that all the trains were stuck in the Depot, frozen doors, mechanical problems due to the snow and ice.

It was a situation that should never have happened, with all the warnings we had, but I don't think you can blame the mayor for the transport problems.

I think it an indicment of todays society.
