for a Tory to be in charge of the City, as it is about to go down and crash under its own weight...

AFAIK, he isn't in charge of the City of London, which is run by a fuedal institution called the City of London Corporation a body which has its own entirely separate Lord Mayor.

It truly is of the banks, for the banks, by the banks because directors of financial insitituions are able to vote irrepsecitve of where they live. As there are hardly any residents, it's the banks whose voice dominates.

Most of the voters live in the West End or have farms in Buckinghamshire or Oxfordshire to the North West.

but London will still reel from the weakness of the City, and he can be blamed for it, however unfair that may be personally.

One would like to think so, but I imagine it will be Brown who takes the heat for this. After all, Johnson wasn't even in charge when it happened and Johnson has no function in doing anything about the fallout.
