Two more Luche Libres here when you've got a minute squire.
News that Mexican Masked Wrestling (Lucha Libre) is in town has concentrated the minds of Boris lackeys at City Hall, nervously looking over their shoulders and asking security to double check stationary cupboards etc. Why? Well, from El Sante to El Super Barrio, there is a long tradition in Mexico of masked grapplers being seen as on the side of the poor in the struggle against the rich and powerful. On top of the Ray Lewis debacle the last thing Boris needs is some 18 stone masked Johnny Foreigner stepping out from behind the filling cabinets and dangling him out of a window by the ankles. It's all a far cry from the old Big Daddy/Thatcher mutual admiration society. Is someone going to tell me that Bert Assirati was at Cable Street? I hope so.
