I'm ashamed to be a Londoner

Boris Johnson
Boris, the foppish, elitist, bigoted, old etonian, twat, fuck face, bastard, cunting wanker Johnson
There I was, a proud Londoner. My home. I'm not nationalist. Nationalism is over rated. But I counted myself first a Londoner, then a European. Never Identified with 'England' or 'Great Britain'
But here I am. With Boris winning. Many of you probably don't care, or know what I'm on about. But Boris!!!
I now think I know what it must have been like to see George W. Bush II voted in as a Democrat.
Boris is not what London is about. Boris has nothing to do with London. London is a vibrant, multi cultural, fantastic, liberal place. Sure, we have our fair share of city boys, but that is not the be all and end all. Boris is a racists, a bigot, incompetent and a homophobe. That's not even the start. London is magnificent, it's home to all comers, a hotbed of unions and activism. It's forward thinking, it's not middle England.
And it certainly isn't embodied by the public school, old etonian, elitism of the Tories or Boris Johnson.
If you have no idea what this is about, fair enough. But for those who know. I hope you share my pain.
My pride in being a Londoner. First and foremost a Londoner. It's been dashed. Maybe I'm over-reactng, but I can't help feeling we'll be an international laughing stock, as with GW Bush. My head is hung, with shame.
I'm sitting here with my umpteenth pint of London Pride Ale.
London Pride, my arse.
My queer, hairy arse.
