The last figleaf slips?

The passage above is from the Planning report on the Clapham Junction towerblock plan - it's the section that reports on comments received from Tory Mayor of London Boris Johnson on the plan.
I've highlighted the lines where he says the 39-storey tower blocks "have been positioned to have minimum impact", "are not considered to harm these views"; that their "design quality" ensures they don't "overwhelm the surrounding townscape" and, most damningly of all "the design of the towers adds positively to the skyline".
This from the man who promised you time and time again last year when he was running for Mayor that he was opposed to high rise development in London and would block such towers.
What do you think of that pledge now?
Wandsworth's Conservative Council and London's Conservative Mayor are united in their determination to bury our area under high-rise overdevelopment. Stand with me against these destructive Tory plans.
