Foals Commence Attack On London Mayor

06th May 2008 | by Aidan Williamson

Following the win of Conservative Mayoral candidate Boris Johnson at the weekend, the frightening realisation has hit people that the U.K may just be turning Tory again. Foals were particularly petrified by the news.

Speaking on their blog, the band considered "In less than a week we're flying back to London from New York. The jet-lag is one thing... but the fear that we'll be flying into a city that isn't so much a newly fascist city-state, than one big gilded joke of a newspaper column made rotten flesh... is i would say the biggest of all."

"Boris “Picaninny” Johnson, we salute you--sort of like we'd salute any smug self-satisfied old-Etonian holding a statute-book to our head. Congratulations, and good luck with the Olympics."

"At least when California elected a clown as governor they elected one who'd made his name as a muscle-man. Boris appears to have been elected simply because he has blond hair."

In case your in the dark about all this (ie, American) the Conservative party is like the Republican Party, only without the guns and religion. No, Tony Blair wasn't in that party, he was in Labour, which is sort of like the Conservative party, but without the...... without the.... give us a minute here.

In the meantime, enjoy a brief video of the man who now controls London, explaining about how he pulled an 'Annie Hall' last time he tried to snort Cocaine.
