New website, same old Standard?
Sarah Sands, acting editor of the Standard, comes up with a new way of describing Boris Johnson in a column which also excuses his failure to return to London during last summer’s riots on the grounds that he is in possession of a petite wife. The whole thing is really quite something. Toff bashing is boring, but to suggest in response that Johnson is some sort of rags to riches success story is wretch-inducing.
In other Standard news – they have a new website. It’s better than the old website. They’re also looking for a new editor, and it might not be going Sarah’s way.
