How alarming to think someone who we have democratically elected can be removed so swiftly without the slightest need for consultation by us.

We were responsible for choosing Ken Livingstone to represent and manage London and therefore we should judge whether he should be removed or not.

The fact Ken's four-week suspension from office has been put on hold by the High Court pending his appeal illustrates just how wrong the decision was.

What a silly reaction by a kangaroo court and how disrespectful to us.

Investigations should begin into why this was allowed in the first place.
