Ministry for Verdant Virtues
Bojo likes trees...
Boris Johnson has officially put an end to The Londoner, which he has described as "the Mayor's ludicrous Pyongyang-style newspaper". His office claims that the move will save an estimated £2.9m.
Announced this morning, Mr Johnson said that he will use at least £1m of the saved amount to provide London's treeless areas with the lush greenery that they were lacking under the soulless and dreary Communist rule of Ken Livingstone.
"I believe that as many areas as possible should enjoy the many advantages that they bring.", chirped the incumbent Mayor, before reeling off a melancholy soliloquy in which he stated that, "In the last few years a third of boroughs have seen a decline in the number of street trees. Alas, many London streets, particularly in deprived areas, have no street trees at all." He then proceeded to wipe his nose with an expensive handkerchief.
The Londoner, which often carried headlines a long the lines of Ken Livingstone Rules OK or Bald Guys Love Longer, was criticised by many as being nothing more than an expensive propaganda machine.
