Boris Wades In

I see that Boris Johnson has waded in. In the New Statesman he rails:

I can't believe it. They really are going to do it. The Labour Party seems to think it can just plonk Gordon Brown on the English public and that we are all going to swallow it. It's an outrage. Not only is Gordon Brown a chippy, high-taxing, gloomadon-popping nannying old socialist, he is also a Scot. He sits for a Scottish seat, called Motherclyde or something, and he is presuming to tell us, the English, how to order our affairs, and to accept his diktat on controversial questions concerning healthcare and admission to our schools and universities (on which matter Gordon demonstrated not only his hysterical resentment of Oxbridge but also his lust to intervene).

and in his own blog follows up with:

David Cameron offers the Tories a real chance of winning the next election, reconquering huge sections of the electrorate that think we're a bunch of space cadets, and so on and so forth

but this just refers back to comments in the earlier article.

Good on you, Boris. You may blither, but you're a thinker!
