Mayor of Caracus?

Ken is a man with very strange priorities. You would think that being Mayor of one of the worlds Great Cities would be enough responsibility for one person. Not for Ken apparently:

Mayor Ken Livingstone is to become the president of the Venezuela Information Centre (VIC) campaign after recently hosting a visit to London by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Somehow I can't see how this job is relevant to the people who elected him. Perhaps he can enlighten us.

Mayor Livingstone, says: "Venezuela is pursuing a course that is giving hope not only to the people of that country, but also to millions around the world ... and the Venezuela Information Centre is playing a vital role in combating the daily diet of propaganda and misinformation that is being circulated by opponents of President Chavez’ government."

Nice to know that London is his priority.
