Bye-Bye Red Ken and Hello Boris
By windstone | May 3, 2008
It’s official-Red Ken is gone. Boris Johnson, Conservative MP, is the new mayor-elect of London. You read that right-A CONSERVATIVE is the new mayor of one of the largest cities in the world. The London Times features this tidbit:
“The 1990s were a decade of brilliance for Boris, capped in 1999 with the editorship ofThe Specator.He was still only 35 but this prize was far from the limits of his ambition. As a youngster, he once confided to a friend that he would like to be President of the United States. (His birth in New York made this possible, albeit ludicrous). ”
A pro-American mayor of London! After Red Ken, it may come as too much of a shock. Comments and actions like this,this, and this merit the Red designation. Hopefully, it is a sign of Conservative strength and a strengthening of relations with our British brethren.
