Foals slam Mayor Boris!
The band are displeased with London electorate...
7th May 08
It seems our good friends Foals have voiced their criticism of London's new Mayor,
Boris Johnson, and the millions
who voted him in. Keyboardist Edwin Congreave wrote on the band's blog during a flight back to
the capital 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...
He went on, "Boris 'Picaninny' Johnson, we salute you - sort of like we'd salute any smug, self-satisfied old Etonian holding a statute-book to our heads. 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."
Let's just hope Boris has no scrutinizing plans to reduce the number of tennis courts in the city. Then there could be trouble...
