It's nothing to do with the article, but this caught my eye...
I think he's what is commonly called a 'colourful character'. Lib Dems for Boris ![]() I believe he may be Tony Blairs secret weapon of mass destruction. He makes me proud to be Canadian. :lol: |

Both of those two facts are true, but Boris is actually trying to defend English music, and let's face it, British popular music is pretty damn fine in places. There is also a sub-text to this article. What Boris is actually doing is criticising mainland Europe and Tony Blair's Labour Party. That's about all English Conservative politicians do nowadays. |

British rock bands aside, I rather like the music of Sir Arnold Bax. |

I think you missed the parting shot as well as the whole point of the article.
