Ray D'Arcy in a race for the Mayor of London...........
Ok so its not Ray D'Arcy, but made ya look. However look at the picture of former Senior Police Officer Brian Paddick. Now at a very very quick glance
e, you could possible construe that the two were the same person, regardless of the fact that one is a radio presenter on Today FM and the other is a former Senior Police Officer, who is possibly running for Mayor of London.

Paddick selected as Lib Dem candidate for London
Former senior police officer Brian Paddick will run for Mayor of London in May 2008 as the Liberal Democrat candidate.
The 49-year-old won 73% of the first preference votes in a ballot of London party members.
He promised "less crime, better transport, cleaner air and fewer Londoners living in poverty are all crucial in making sure that London remains one of the most exciting cities in the world."
He faces incumbent Ken Livingstone and Tory candidate Boris Johnson in next May's election.
Mr Paddick was the UK's most senior out gay policeman until his retirement as Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in May this year.
He told the BBC that he thinks he can win despite his low profile compared to the main party candidates and claimed he is the only serious alternative to Mayor Livingstone, whom he called "a nice guy."
"There are a number of things that Ken has done reasonably well," he said.
"But putting up the mayoral precept of the council tax by 100% in four years sounds a bit extravagant.
