Boris Johnson pulls out of global anti-nuclear group: office
LONDON (AFP) - New mayor Boris Johnson has pulled out of a global campaign group that calls for nuclear disarmament, saying the city's membership was "not a priority", his office told AFP Wednesday.
A spokesman confirmed a claim by British lobbyists the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) that Johnson had withdrawn London from the United Nations-backed Mayors for Peace initiative that opposes nuclear proliferation.
CND chairwoman Kate Hudson said the decision was "appalling", despite being aware that Johnson, from the main opposition Conservative Party, backed the renewal of Britain's nuclear capability.
Although I would be remiss in my... duties, I guess... if I didn't remind you that this shows that, yes, elections have consequences.
