“Instead of more delectable disputations about the exact size of the state, we need to change the focus of the argument. Of course there are important choices to be made and it is vital, in my view, that we spend on infrastructure investment (notably in London) rather than on consumption. But we are not dedicating anything like enough political energy and interest to the real issue: who the hell is now speaking up for the wealth creators of this country?”
— London mayor Boris Johnson, June 15, 2009
