In an exclusive interview for the Muslim News, London mayor Boris Johnson has given a startling insight into his true political leanings and the shameless way he is prepared to sell out native Londoners to pander to the Islamic vote. His words will also be a stark reminder to those who still believe that David Cameron’s Conservatives intend to sort out the country’s problems. 

In a quite astounding interview, Johnson promised the Muslim News that he would carry on in the footsteps of his predecessor, Ken Livingstone, by supporting the myriad of diversity and equality projects foisted on Londoners by Red Ken:

“One thing I decided very early on was that the only way to run London is to support diversity and to recognise that you have got to be proactive and give encouragement and support to all communities.”

Johnson promised to “celebrate the achievements of communities” and, in a direct snub to native Londoners who have seen their home city transformed before their eyes, Johnson celebrated the destruction of traditional London life: “London would not be London and it wouldn’t be the greatest city on earth if it wasn’t for the hundreds of communities who live here.”

To the Muslim News’ concerns that festivals such as ‘Eid in the Square’, ‘Diwali in the Square’ and other faith based events would not be funded or supported under his regime, Boris was adamant that he was “totally behind that” and would “support that completely.”

When questioned about Anthony Browne, his new Director of Policy, who has been accused of making critical comments about Islam, Johnson went into politically correct cliché overload, saying Browne was “utterly committed to a glorious multi racial multi ethnic, multi faith London in which we emphasise the achievements of all communities and he will be going out of his way to prove that point.”

To further ingratiate himself with potential Muslim voters, Johnson made a point of mentioning his Muslim ancestry, saying that when he found out about his family’s connection to Islam, “I immediately bought the Qur’an and I have been learning Arabic.” To shore up his Islamic credentials even further, Johnson recited to the Muslim News the “kalimah” — La ilaha illa Allah. Muhammad Rasulullah. (There is no God except Allah. Muhammad is His Messenger.)
