Lynton Crosby
Another blitz by Boris today. In Acton,Ealing,Southall,Finchley,Barnet,Enfield Southgate, Enfield Town to sell his 9 Point Plan.
Crosby is building a reputation for being inept and ham fisted in the arena of social media. Adam Bienkov recently exposed this ineptness in a very revealing blog - http://www.adambienkov.com/2012/03/does-anyone-on-boris-johnsons-campaign.html I have started to wonder about what is going on with the BackBoris campaign. I spoke to a couple of Tories in Mill Hill, who had read my recent blog about the "what has Boris done for Barnet" leaflet and were horrified that his greatest achievement was "planting 88 trees" - http://barneteye.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/oh-dear-boris-this-is-bit-embarrassing.html
Given that Boris is generally well liked, he has all the press on his side and he hasn't been as bad a disaster as many people on the left suspected, could it be that employing a buffoon like Crosby could be the masterstroke (for Ken Livingstone) that snatches defeat from the jaws of victory for Boris.
Given the fact that Barnet is the most populous borough, surely any vaguely competent campaign manager would have got Boris to replace the GLA rep, Brian Coleman with someone who may actually be a campaign assett.

Boris has no (direct) part in the selection of party candidates for the constituencies. It is done by a process that is even something of a mystery to party activists. And let me assure you that Bwian Coleperson is not the only useless plonker to have been reselected by the Conservatives.
