Boris!

Salivating Tories, all exercised by the triumph of the blues in the Shires are now getting even more hot under the colour about the prospect of that Buffoon Boris being elected.

One such poster on Iain Dales gang-bangery wrote:

"Now the difficult part comes - making sure the next Conservative government is actually conservative:

There's no point in a 300-seat Tory mejority if all we do is ape New Labour."

Well quite old bean. Obviously all that private education didn't cover spelling.

I'm no friend of New Labour and quite sure that Ken had loads of insiders and cronies hanging about. But a city that elects a racist imbecile like Boris Johnson in the 21st C is astonishing. Im quite sure its half about the sort of darkly-moronic anti-immigrant bile that has been building up in the general culture for years, stoked by the red-tops and fed upon by the BNP and their ilk.

How deeply sad that this man is allowed anywhere near public office. This is deeply deeply embarrasing for England and London and another sign of a deep divide between what passes for public office and political culture North and South of the Border. The deference that is implicitly involved in electing an Old Etonian and the reactionary bourgeois nature of the vote that gives him office is wholly objectionable.
The whole edifice of reactionary right wing xenophobia rolls on. Just in time for the Olympics that we're subsidising.
