Following AJ’s comment on Belle De Jour, we now have this wonderful stuff from his NS interview, which the Sun says is AJ’s “poll disaster” alert :
On the Tories:
What are they offering? The 'age of austerity' and - if you want a bit of fun - the return of fox hunting.
On the Lib Dem failure to support the campaign for a PR referendum on voting day:
He's a strange man is Clegg, isn't he?
On the election:
We are now looking at a watershed election, à la 1945, à la 1979, more so than 1997.
Finally, asked to give a "cast-iron guarantee" that he will not be leading Labour come polling day next year, Johnson comes up with the classic line:
Gordon Brown is the best man for the job.
Which rather resembles what Rab Butler once said about Anthony Eden, “the best prime minister we've got”
The NS article concludes:
Johnson is a natural communicator, funny, amiable and down-to-earth. He knows how to strike a populist note and court public opinion - essential qualities for a modern home secretary, but also a modern Labour leader.
Quite so.

ReplyDeleteHe's also a monumental hypocrite. Oddly enough, I don't see you banging on about that?
Sad to hear you speak of fox hunting as 'a bit of fun'. It says a great deal about our indifference to the suffering of those in our care.

I agree with mhayworth. If that's what the Tories are offering, I say vote independent (and against un-banning fox hunting). Go to -
