"Agree with every word: All this hyperbole being spewed about Johnson from normally sensible left-wing sources* - not to mention the dismissal of over a million Londoners who picked him as their first choice as merely âœdoing it for a laughâ - is doing"

Oh, rubbish. A load of bald, unsubstantiated assertions, ignorance of policy differences (the housing comment below), and statements of the obvious (apparently all Tories aren't evil! Whodathunkit!).

I've never understood why 'Nosemonkey' gets any attention, and still don't after reading that piece.

If you have to resort to invoking the days of Thatcher to persuade people not to vote Conservative, you must be scraping the barrel

I'll stop doing it when they (and labour) stop using Thatcher's policies word for word.

Remind me (actually, bug me) to write up the whole markets=thatcherite myth and how profiteers (like her) don't actually like markets?

Both she and NuLab are corporatists who use the language of markets even though they don't actually implement proper markets. Ah well.

Anyway, off out, going to watch Iron Man, possible more thorough post on the Boris thing later or tomorrow. Possibly.

Introspection

I'm Mat Bowles, a Devonshire lad displaced to Yorkshire. I'm a part-time analyst, marketer and website manage, although mostly I'm a house-husband.

Wikio - Top BlogsThis is my personal general interest journal where I write about or link to whatever I've fond that amused, intrigued or enraged me at the time. I'm a committed liberal, equalist and atheist, but I really like it when people can demonstrate I'm wrong, and have close friends with whom I completely disagree on some if not all of those points.

Coalition For Choice

There probably ought to be a Creative Commons licence in here somewhere but in the meantime consider this permission to quote me (link) & link to what I write.

If you decide to keep reading, please do say hello, let me know where you found me from, etc. I promise not to bite (well, unless you want me to...)
