Don’t sleepwalk into a Boris Mayoralty

The Financial Times carries a lengthy article/interview/profile about/with/of Boris today.

(Thanks to a keen Boris-stopper for pointing out this and other good articles over the past few days, by the way!)

The writer of the article is noncommittal, but not exactly won over by Boris, raising lots of doubts about his abilities as Mayor.

But let his conclusion be a warning to us all to make sure we go out and vote against Boris tomorrow!

I asked Johnson whether May 2 would mark another new dawn for Britain. “That is an incontestable fact,” he replied. “A new dawn will have broken. All sorts of doors will open, windows will go up, lights will come on, curtains will be drawn.”

On May 2, Londoners may well draw their curtains to find that they have just elected Boris Johnson as mayor.
