Brilliant piece on Milliband by Boris in the Torygraph

Boris writing in the Torygraph = Preaching to the converted

Slagging Milliband = Nothing new here.

What a shock Boris and the Torygraph readers will get if it turns out that people blame Cameroon for their "cost of living crisis" and "lower wages" and vote in Labour!

The trouble with the coalition is that they are very out of touch. And the mud that Labour has slung has stuck.

Boris has a pretty unique ability to come across as an utter buffoon to most people and yet he wins. He has a basic optimism about life in general, I think that's what did Ken in.

Boris managed to get me to go out of my house to the polling station and vote for him. Given my general cynicism about politics and politicians the magnitude of that achievement cannot be overestimated. I think he's done a decent job as mayor as well.

Still he only needs to write another 3 articles and he can afford the other half of the numberplate

I can't help thinking the "economic sunshine" is a bit of a dead cat bounce but the tories are at least investing in stuff like basic science research and the space industry, and as I posted in another thread the "problem" with runaway rent increases is largely illusory. They have been high for ages.

Milliband does seem fairly irrelevant. The way to solve the "cost of living crisis" is through putting more money in people's pockets in the first place, not back to the 70s market manipulation.

True article - luckily for the Torys than electorate are thick twunts who don't deserce the vote. The economic rise is caused through easier credit(help to buy) and immigration. The basics get worse and worse.

Boris has won more elections than you or I. Think what you like to him, he beat Livingstone at his own game. I seriously doubt there would have been many politicians that could have pulled that one off in London. So in terms of electioneering he could give a master class to the lot of them.

How do you know? Maybe I won class president 10 years in a row and gave up as it just came down to who could tell the most plausible lies

[darmstadt]

Sorry, its not really as you could quite easily turn that story around, its just electioneering and not very good at that either. Labour will probably come out with one about Cameron in thrall to the financial gnomes of London or some such bollocks.
