“The meat in the sausage has got to be Conservative”
Boris Johnson (1964) British politician, historian and journalist
BBC News Interview http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/election_2010/8668036.stm with Jeremy Paxman, BBC News, 7 May 2010 <br class="br">Johnson on the possibility of a coalition after the United Kingdom general election, May 2010. <br class="br">Johnson: Whatever type of Wall's sausage is contrived by this great experiment, the dominant ingredient has got to be conservatism. The meat in the sausage has got to be Conservative, I would say. With plenty of bread and other bits and pieces. <br class="br">Paxman: The question is whether it's a chipolata or a Cumberland sausage, I suppose, is it? <br class="br">Johnson: This is fantastic to listen to. Enough of this gastronomic metaphor! <br class="br">Paxman: You started it! <br class="br">Johnson: Well, I've had enough of it! <br class="br">Paxman: Haven't you got a city to run? <br class="br">Johnson: I have got a city to run and that's exactly the point! The government of London will carry on irrespective of the temporary difficulties in providing a national government. Thank you. <br class="br">Paxman: Bye bye, Boris! <br class="br">2010s, 2010
