George Galloway on Boris Johnson

BJ is ".... posessed of the kind of reckless courage that the officer class had at the Battle of Balaclava, when they thundered onwards into the guns, in what was a famous massacre of British arms at the hands of the Russians."

From Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!” he said.

Into the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”

Was there a man dismayed?

Not though the soldier knew

   Someone had blundered.

   Theirs not to make reply,

   Theirs not to reason why,

   Theirs but to do and die.

   Into the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.
