text: Boris Johnson today fire an extraordinary attack on the Labour party, claiming Ed Miliband wants to go back to the 'nasty, racist' era of the 1970s. The London Mayor, who today launched the Tory campaign in the capital, said the Labour leader was 'hostile' to people who wanted to own their own home and would embark on an 'orgy of regulation and state socialism'. He also claimed Ukip wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s while the Greens want a return to 'somewhere around the bronze age'. Scroll down for video . London Mayor Boris Johnson today launched the Tory campaign in London with a speech in Hartley Hall, Mill Hill . Mr Johnson told voters that if they vote Conservative they will get broadband but if they vote Ukip they will get Miliband . Mr Johnson was mobbed by fans at the launch in Mill Hill, North London where he posed for selfies with supporters. He was joined at the event by Hendon candidate Matthew Offord and his dog Max, and International Development Secretary Justine Greening. As the mayor arrived he could be heard asking whether he needed to show his ID to get in. Launching his attack on Labour, Mr Johnson told voters that if they vote Conservative they will get broadband but if they vote Ukip they will get Miliband. He also joked the Tories were the party of 'kitchen ownership' while Labour was the party of 'kitchen concealment'. Mr Johnson also said he believed the polls were starting to and would continue to move in favour of the Conservatives. He described the party's formula as 'wealth creation for a moral purpose'. In his speech, Mr Johnson repeatedly mocked Mr Miliband over the revelation he has two kitchens in his £2million North London home. He said: 'I don't mind if he is so lazy he would rather not go downstairs to make a cup of tea shortly before binge-watching Breaking Bad or whatever he does. 'I mind very much that he is instinctively and intuitively hostile to the liberating policy of home ownership. We are the party of home ownership, of kitchen ownership. They are the party of hypocrisy and kitchen concealment.' Mr Johnson cuddled up to a dog wearing a blue rosette supporting local Tory candidate Matthew Offord . Mr Johnson was mobbed by fans wanting pictures and selfies when he visited a cafe Mill Hill, North London . A large media scrum followed Mr Johnson as he went on his walkabout around north west London . He also visited a shop, with Tory party leaflets in hand, to drum up support for the Conservatives . Mr Johnson is expected to campaign across the country as a senior Conservative who appeals to voters which other ministers cannot reach . Progress through the streets of Hendon was slow as he stopped for selfies with supporters . He hailed the Conservatives' record on connectivity, saying: 'If you vote Tory you get broadband, if you vote Ukip you get Miliband.' The 'main problem' with the Labour leader is not his inability to eat a bacon sandwich, the mayor went on, or that he sounds like a 'polytechnic sociology lecturer'. Nor is it that he and Ed Balls drove the car 'so spectacularly off the cliff' the last time they had the keys, he added, calling them the 'Thelma and Louise of British politics'. He said: 'The main problem is not even that they would be the playthings of the SNP and that Ed Miliband would be peeking out of Alex Salmond's sporran like a baby kangaroo. 'The main problem is that Ed Miliband and the Labour Party are now more left-wing than they have ever been at any time since Michael Foot. 'They literally want to take us back to the 1970s with an orgy of regulation and state socialism.' Mr Johnson said he believed the polls were starting to and would continue to move in favour of the Conservatives . It echoed comments made in a speech last night, in which Mr Johnson said Mr Miliband does not see that wealth creation has a moral purpose. 'And by attacking wealth creation both in rhetoric and his actions, he would take this country backwards to those 1970s that I spoke of with an orgy of higher taxation and regulation. I remember the 1970s. I wouldn't want to go back. 'It was a nasty, grim, petty epoch of really foul racism, frankly, and a union-dominated economy,' he told an event organised by the Legatum Institute think tank. Mr Johnson also joked that Ukip wanted to take the country back to the 1950s, the Greens to 'somewhere around the bronze age' and the Liberal Democrats to whatever would give them a boost in the polls. He added: 'We are the only party presenting ourselves for election that thinks, broadly speaking, that today is better than yesterday. 'And tomorrow, broadly speaking, is going to be better than today. We have a fantastic story to tell.'
