London Mayor Says Prime Minister Spends Money ‘Like a Drunk’
By Brian Lysaght
Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- London Mayor Boris Johnson, who depends on U.K. government grants to generate two-thirds of the City Hall budget, said Prime Minister Gordon Brown is spending money “like a drunk.”
Writing in his weekly column in the Daily Telegraph newspaper today, Johnson said the country is broke and that Brown “squandered” money when the economy was growing. His column is critical of the government’s pre-budget report yesterday.
Brown “is like some sherry-crazed old dowager who has lost the family silver at roulette, and who now decides to double up by betting the house as well,” Johnson wrote. “He is like a drunk who has woken to the most appalling hangover, and who reaches for the whisky bottle to help him dull the pain.”
Johnson, a Conservative former member of Parliament, was elected in May, defeating two-term incumbent Ken Livingstone, a member of Brown’s Labour Party. Johnson leads a capital hit by a recession, falling property prices and job cuts in the financial- services industry.
Brown’s budget proposals yesterday, aimed at guiding Britain through the global economic slump, will cost 25.6 billion pounds ($38.7 billion) and represent the U.K.’s biggest round of stimulus since 1988.
“There is nothing wrong in principle with a fiscal stimulus,” the mayor wrote. “What makes the remedy so desperate is that Gordon Brown managed to squander such eye-watering sums when times were good.”
Johnson last week pledged to “kick-start” the city’s housing industry by using 5 billion pounds provided by Brown’s government over three years to increase the provision of low- income homes.

KHOODEELAAR! updating the evidence of the callousness of Crossrail touting role being played by Boris Johnson [320]
1340 Hrs GMT London Tuesday 25 November 2008:
KHOODEELAAR! TOLD YOU SO!
That Boris Johnson was acting as another tout for Crossrail. The crassness goof Crossrail is evident in the callousness with which it is peddled. No rational basis. No evidence. No accountability.. That is what is seen in the irresponsible and contradictory peddling of Crossrail that appears on the latest propaganda for Big Business that Boris Johnson has perpetrated today [Tuesday 25 November 2008] through the CROSSRAIL-touting London EVENING Nostandards STANDARD by hiding behind the name of lone of the dozens of peddlers that he has appointed at the expense of the people of London. Immediately after the sentence peddling Crossrail the propaganda piece moves on to ‘more important’ topics about London.… Even the irrational Boris Johnson can ‘see’ that there are items that are ‘MORE IMPORTANT than Crossrail’.. The problem is that he is behaving like a blind abuser of office....As far as Crossrail is concerned, Boris Johnson is unprepared to seek evidence on its economic, transport, environmental, financial justification...
