“The meat in the sausage has got to be Conservative”
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
Johnson on the possibility of a coalition after the United Kingdom general election, May 2010.
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.
Paxman: The question is whether it's a chipolata or a Cumberland sausage, I suppose, is it?
Johnson: This is fantastic to listen to. Enough of this gastronomic metaphor!
Paxman: You started it!
Johnson: Well, I've had enough of it!
Paxman: Haven't you got a city to run?
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.
Paxman: Bye bye, Boris!
