    Default Mayor calls London Assembly members 'invertebrate jellies'

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21572766

    London Mayor Boris Johnson has rejected calls to reverse his proposed council tax cut which opposition parties says will keep 12 fire stations open.

    But when the opposition groups at the London Assembly declined to question him and tried to move to a debate and a vote on the budget, the mayor reacted angrily.

    He called members "great, supine, protoplasmic invertebrate jellies".

    Who says you need to cuss when you can dress down others with that sort of finesse? I would buy this guy a pint.

    There are some real corkers in there.

    "He called members "great, supine, protoplasmic invertebrate jellies" < i am going to go to great lengths to use this in conversation myself, even when it is otherwise inappropriate or unnecessary simply because i can and i want to!

    This is why I love the British. They're very creative with insults.

    I need to buy that book "1,000 years of annoying the french" !
