Now considering standing as the Tory candidate in Kensington, the seat being vacated by Malcolm Rifkind, the bloke embroiled in cash-for-access claims
Deluded is the word that comes to mind.0 -

I'm a staunch Tory voter too but I can assure you that if Campbell stands as a Tory, I wont be voting Tory!WayneK said:I'm a Tory voter ( in case you wondered) but I don't know if I could vote for Sol. And it's got nothing to do with his skin colour before anyone asks.

I'd rather vote for this Sol (and I don't really like it):
Reminds me of what that bloke from The Hotel said: "if someone asked me to be Prime Minister, I'd give it a go, I wouldn't know what I was doing but I'd give it a go."0 -
Would they accept a mayor who spent most of his year injured?
Anyway he would probably switch to the rival party after a couple of years.1 -
blokes got a potato farm on his shoulder0

Huge double standards from Sol when he suggests that 'the black vote' should back him on the basis of race.
The same guy who will then go and complain if the majority white generation happen to vote in a white person, regardless of the reasoning behind it.6 -
My guess is he was watching The Wire in his quest to become an actor, got to season four and decided to do the mayor thing instead.5

I wondered how long it would be before he mentioned "the Black vote" - turns out it was there from the outset.
When is he going to get off his high horse and just acknowledge shit happens. It's nothing to do with the colour of his skin that people think he's an idiot - it's the fact the he is an idiot.1 -
He's going for Mayor now, the other week I read he was going for the Villa job.0

My mate's a councillor for Chelsea Riverside in the RBKC, as a Chelsea supporter not sure he'd be too pleased at the idea of selecting Sol as a parliamentary candidate!1 -
Anyone who thinks Sol Campbell is going to waltz in and take one of the safest - and most sought after - Tory seats in the country is an utter moron.
That includes you Sol.3 -
I know Sherwood got the job but I read that Campbell was interested too.0

Why the fuck does there have to be a black / white / purple or Orange vote? The London Mayor is supposed to be looking after the people of London, the whole of London, not a select few basing their judgement on his colour. This guy needs to just fuck off, he is such an irrelevant creature who is wasting more and more oxygen daily with his drivel.
First Boris, then him.............imagine it. One clown followed by another.2 -
I guess people want to vote for whoever they believe understands their issues and concerns. That rules out sol Campbell then0

Interesting and amusing tale from Daniel Taylor of the Guardian about Sol:
"A few weeks back, the sports minister, Helen Grant, arranged a summit at Whitehall to discuss why there are so few black managers and coaches in the game. Senior figures from the Football Association were there, along with the Premier League, the Professional Footballers’ Association and the Football League. There were guests from Kick It Out and Show Racism the Red Card and Sol Campbell also received an invitation, as an ex-England player who is frustrated, understandably, by the lack of opportunities.
What Campbell does not appear to realise, perhaps, is that the best way to get a point across is without ego or too much self-esteem.
On this occasion he wanted the FA’s technical director, Dan Ashworth, to explain why Gary Neville had been fast-tracked through the system to become one of Roy Hodgson’s assistants with the England team. Ashworth started talking about the favourable impression Neville had made on Hodgson and the players and was running through the processes that were involved when Campbell put out his hand to interrupt him. This is when things started to get a little strange.
“But I am Sol Campbell.”
As you might imagine, that isn’t a particularly easy sentence to come back from. Ashworth did his best to continue because, well, what else could he do? But it is fair to say the entire room had been engulfed in awkwardness and when Ashworth stopped talking there was another tumbleweed moment. Campbell, hand out, ended the conversation in the same way he had started it.
“But I am Sol Campbell.”
He was correct. But whether he gets an invitation the next time there is one of these discussions is not entirely clear."

Haha brilliant!
Sums it up very well.
He applied for the Villa job apparently, which is half of the problem - he expects to be handed a top from nothing because he used to be a good centre back, and isn't willing to work.his way up.0 -
It sounds like he's been smoking too much skunk (allegedly etc etc).0
-
Almost worth moving back to The Smoke to vote for him. C'mon R'Sol for Mayor!!!!0
-
He looks like Voldemort there.
Not sure why he's only encouraging black people to vote, rather than everyone, but it's still possibly the least objectionable thing I think I've ever seen him do.0 -
How do I sign up for this operation black vote?0

Not only does he look like Voldemort but he's almost been photoshopped whiteNorth Lower Neil said:He looks like Voldemort there.
