It's a pleasant change to see a Mayor of London going overseas to fight for the interests of Londoners and London's economy, rather than going to Cuba and Venezuela to pay homage to dictatorial leaders who commit human rights abuses. Mayor Boris Johnson is going to Brussels to defend London's financial service industry from over regulation, an EU action that has been instigated by France and Germany who resent London being the world's leading financial centre and want to clip its wings for the benefit of Paris and Frankfurt.
Isn't shameful that it falls to the capital's Mayor to stand up for the interests of this country's financial centre? It shows we can't rely on our plastic Prime Minister who is too busy trying to give the EU anything it wants in the hope of securing a handsomely paid post in Brussels once he is kicked out of office at the next election.
