Oh dear, it looks like Boris is "off message"

Link.

Boris Johnson has described David Cameron’s claim that Britain is a ‘broken society’ as ‘piffle’.

In an intervention likely to dismay Tory HQ, the London mayor claimed our success at the Olympics proves youngsters are far from ‘aimless, feckless and hopeless, addicted to their PlayStations’.

Of course, we could ask why Notorious RLJ hasn’t bothered organizing a protest either, but he is likely too busy quivering from fear of the outside world, in his gated community in Florida, to comment.
