While the rest of Britain celebrates our greatest Olympic medal haul for a century, a senior Tory in Boris Johnson's Mayoral team has launched a disgraceful attack on our athletes, claiming they have
'blood on their hands'.
Controversial Boris appointed the even bigger loose cannon Coleman to run London's fire and rescue service - despite being fully aware of his less than impressive record of gaffes.
Coleman hit the headlines earlier this year after claiming a massive £600-plus in one day for
taxi fares - and racking up an expenses claim for taxi that was bigger than all the rest of the members of the Greater London Authority put together - including the Mayor.
Coleman's huge taxi-bill on the rates was despite being given a free pass on London Transport.
Cabbie Coleman, an openly gay Tory, also recently claimed that he has been passed over for high office within Tory ranks because of
homophobia in the highest echelons of Cameron's Conservative Party.
He further shocked senior Tories by
'outing' former Tory Prime Minister, the late Sir Edward Heath who he accused of the rather unsavoury practice of
'cottaging'.
Coleman's latest outrageous comments stand in direct contrast to Boris Johnson's lavish praise for our Olympic heroes and is further evidence of the internal squabbling and outright chaos since Boris became Mayor of London.
Let's not forget Boris's helpful assertion - in writing - a couple of weeks ago that it was
'piffle' to talk about Britain being a
'broken society' - as David Cameron does at every opportunity.
Boris has of course had a chaotic start in his first 100 days as Mayor of London, losing a string of his high-profile appointments in
controversy.
Still, at least the chaos under ex-Bullingdon-club member B-J, serves as a warning as what to expect if ex-Bullington-club member D-C ever got the keys to Downing Street.
But the more pressing question is can Boris afford to sack another gaffe-prone member of his inner cabinet...?
