Boris for Prime Minister

>>>Thread still open for business.


Well it will be as soon as Boris becomes Prime Minister. Boris has just weighed into the fray once more by telling Cameron to stop 'pussy footing around' regards London airports.

Stop pussyfooting around, Dave! Boris launches an extraordinary attack on Prime Minister and hints he may run as MP after revealing plans to boost Britain's economy | Mail Online


Now this is quite undiplomatic language for a professional politician, and Boris knows it. He recognizes that London and the UK have an airport crisis, but he has also seen that Cameron's dithering is not gathering votes (on so many issues). History has told Boris that being bold can deliver votes, as well as being good for the nation.



His claim that we cannot kick this decision into the long grass is an overt shot across Cameron's bows. It is a political ultimatum - do something, make a statement, make a decision, tell us what you are thinking. Either do something, or expect to have your position contested, here and now. This is an opening shot in a political campaign.
